Hi! I've been playing around with updating my Bluetooth to Widcomm 1.0.0.3500 as well as Widcomm 1.5.0.2000 in order to connect to my HP Bluetooth GPS Unit. The furthest I've got is to pair the GPS unit with my phone on BT Serial, but my Tomtom could never get any signals off it, so I'm suspecting that the Bluetooth connection's not properly made.
What do I do? I suspect I've corrupted my Widcomm bluetooth too much to do anything with it anymore. Can I go back to Microsoft's bluetooth stack anymore, without having to hard reset?

Has anyone succeeded in a combination of these two with the Blue Angel device ?
If so, is the audio from the gps software also routed to your car stereo ? What bluetooth protocol would support this ? The parrot carkit supports both the Bluetooth Headset and Handsfree profile.
I think in the end, this would be the best future proof solution : buy a standard pda mount for the Blue Angel and share the parrot carkit between all bluetooth devices present in the car.
Any comments would be welcome !

Ok,
I did a little bit of bluetooth research : in order to have MP3 playback using bluetooth, the device must support the bluetooth A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution profile) profile. The A2DP profile was included in BT 1.2 spec.
I've read the thread on the HP MP3 headphones, and there they have a patch that will install the A2DP profile, though I'm not certain whether it is a HP specific implementation.
Some other interesting threads on this subject :

So I expect that sooner or later there is going to be a firmware upgrade or bluetooth stack upgrade from Broadcomm that includes this profile.
The next step would be the parrot : for what I know, it does not support the A2DP profile. I asked their sales department if they have any future products / firmware upgrades that will support this profile.
So once you enter your car, you would have to enable 3 (!) bluetooth connections :
Bluetooth headset profile -> mobile phone handsfree communication
Bluetooth A2DP profile -> regular audio coming from the device
Bluetooth Serial profile -> connection to gps
With all the bluetooth instabilities with the current protocol stack, I wonder if these three at the same time would ever be realistic. Does bluetooth support this kind of bandwith anyways ?
I have a Orange M2000 with the Parrott CK3300 (it has built in bluetooth GPS)- The bluetooth handsfree works fine as long as you update the handsfree kit to the latest firmware. Also you have to pair as a Windows CE device for it to connect whenever you get in the car.
The bluetooth GPS does work but I find I usually have to do a soft-reset and then launch tom tom which then connects to the GPS without a problem.
You do loose the GPS connection when you make or recieve a phone call, I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the handsfree kit or the M2000 though, I've only had if for 2 weeks so I'm still experimenting with it!
Hi,
I have recently upgraded to an XDA2s from an XDA2. All my software runs fine with the exception of one clash. My Tomtom 3 software prevents the bluetooth from connecting with anything. If I do a build without Tomtom, the bluetooth works fine.
The GPS unit isn't bluetooth, its a wired one.
The bluetooth headset is compatible with the XDA2s and works.
Has anyone seen this/Fixed it?
I'm having to keep 2 backups on the go, one with Tomtom and one without. Ideally I'd like to not have to do this
All ideas most welcome. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
UPDATE : I have upgraded my radio to version 6.10 and my bluetooth drivers to 3900. The bluetooth is much better now but Tomtom still interrupts it.
Hi all!
I just bought an iPaq BT GPS system (seems like a rebrand of what GLobalSat offers). I have successfully paired the device, but when I do a services check, the blue angel cries that it cannot find any usable services. Is there something I can install on my BA to be able to use this GPS device? IT seems like they are trying to talk to one another, but just don't understand each other.
Thanks!
I fixed it...how? I dont know...weird but it works
I paired, I used tom tom, it got a GPS fix, I used it twice
LOL OK - back with some problems
First: the GPS unit will NOT get a GPS fix...
Then I could not connect to the device, so I deleted the pairing, and decided to re-pair them.
Then I saw the GPS BT device, but the services were not usable!
Now I try to paid the devices, and I cannot even see the GPS unit
arghhhhhh :evil:
i am having a problem connecting to both recievers (royaltek rgt-1000 and Leadtek Wireless GPS Reciever)
I am trying to get them to work with my Wizard (t-mobile Vario)
but i am not getting anywhere.......HELP.......... i can put the in and outgoing ports on the bluetooth thingy as com6 and com7 but in the tom tom i can not even see those.................HELP!!!!!!!!
Sounds like you are running TT5 without the 5.21 update, this sorts that problem
Hi,
As on my zf8, unable to pair my Garmin Fenix 7x by bluetooth ...
It was done on my zf8 by modifying an option in Dev options, bluetooth MAC visibilty. So it does not work in my zf9.
Any ideas ?
Solved myself yesterday.
I have to full reset my watch.
My watch was 'showing' to my phone a bluetooth MAC which was not the right MAC address. Weird.
No issues with pairing my Z9 to my Garmin Venu 2m, worked as expected
No issues paring my Garmin Epix 2 today either.
Only thing I've noticed, after pairing to a device, disconnecting it, it won't auto connect again ... which is a bummer but might be a software fix, hopefully.
