I ordered a bluetooth gps yesterday.
I hope it comes in by the middle of next week to try it out with the G Tablet.
Now all I need is a car mount for this thing and it'll be an awesome in car device.

I tried my HOLUX M-1000 GPS with the gtablet. I was able to connect using Trekbuddy mapping software, but I could not get it to work with MapDroyd. I tried using a couple of the bluetooth utility apps like gps mouse and blue gps but I didn't have any luck with either of those. Let us know what you find out.
Anyone tried bluetooth gps and headphones with the g-tab?
I have tried to use a bt gps with the Program Bluetooth gps from googoo android, but after starting and selecting maps, it always FC. I can not find an update for the program on markst, so i am not sure it is the latest version. I am on tnt 2.00

I found a program outside of the market called BlueGPS and sideloaded it. Works fine with my iTrek M5 but you have to allow mock locations under settings>applications>development and set it to replace the internal GPS in BlueGPS. I set the Max connection tries to 5.
Where did you get BlueGPS? I have an iTrek M5 and would like to put it to good use!

I got it....it works with my teletype brand bt gps unit!
Search "tomtom bluetooth gps receiver for usa and canada" on Amazon (can't post outside links yet). The thing only costs $18.99!!
It looks like this is the best deal for a little GPS Bluetooth receiver to use with our GTabs. I bet it will work fine judging from the rest of this thread and the Amazon comments about using it with iPod Touches.
http://wireless.1saleaday.com/
1saleaday has BT GPS for $9.99 + $4.99 shipping. I'm about to bite
I just purchased one, see what happens
1saleaday is truely a great site. i've ordered alot from them.

My Motorola S9 bt headphones work great.
I picked up a Tom-Tom 9T00.001 for just under $20 from Amazon. It worked great with when paired over BT using BlueGPS and Google Naviation.

After you pair the GPS with the G-Tab you'll need BlueGPS to connect it. Once it's paired and connected with BlueGPS you can launch your navigation application.

Thanks! Are you just using the standard Nav App that comes on the G-Tablet?
Setting for BlueGPS and TomTom GPS
What if any settings did you select to get the TomTom to work? What application are you using to verify that it is working? I was attempting to get GoogleMaps to find my location (connected via bt with BlueGPS and the green light was flashing on the TomTom) but it is always unable to find me.
Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I was wandering if We could connect to a GPS via bluetooth using our Folio?

I got replies that others has the TntMod running with a BT GPS, so i assume Market has a BT gps app you use, i forgot if the person replied to how it was done, but im sure it was working..

Bluetooth GPS
Hi,
I am using an app downloaded from Android Market, the Bluetooth GPS by Googoo Android, v. 0.5.8.
It works fine with my Folio 100, with Dexter's mod 1.3b.
The bluetooth GPS device is a Touch GPS device.
i can confirm that it works.
i used it with my nokia n95 as the GPS unit, using the symbian app ExtGps by symarctic (should work on all s60 devices with a built in gps). and the app Bluetooth GPS by Googoo Android on the folio.
remember to allow mock locations =)

I'm using a bluenext gps, Bluetooth GPS by Googoo Android. Seems fine but not used in anger yet. The setup uptions are all 'automated' by the apps, they open the dialogue for you so not much need to change the defaults, I think.
Remember the GPS pairing may not become 'active' without the app running.
Great news.
Thank you all!

Hi,
I've been running vegan 5.1b happily for sometime (and 3.0 etc before). Everything works, except for bluetooth headset connection: GTab keeps saying that it pairs with my device but it's not connected. I searched the forum but I couldn't find any solution; any suggestion?
Thanks!

I use one all the time with Beta5.1. Will your headset connect with other stuff?
mine will show as "paired" but that does not mean its connected at that moment.
Flick on your wifi settings go under blue tooth, click the head phones and MAKE it connect.
let us know if that works.

My Gtab with vegan 5.1b does pair with all three BT devices but it won't connect. I long-pressed the headset icon on the Gtab to bring up the options; I clicked both "connect" and "audio devices" but it does not do anything.
I was on TnT Lite 2.2 before switching over to vegan (3.* and now 5.1b), and back then I was able to use BT to transfer files between my phones and GTab. Did something happended in between? (I did not try BT in vegan 3.*)
Thanks!

Anybody got the Bluetooth working with vegan 5.1?
I am having same issue. I think it might stem from not being able to enter the pair code into GTablet? The direction for my headset say i must type in 0001 on my phone after pairing. GTablet does not seem to have any way to do this.
Any Ideas?
For what it's worth, I haven't had any issues using my Rocketfish BT headphones with Vegan 5.1.
I use a Sonorix BT adaptor with regular sound isolation ear buds on vegan 5.1. It works great!
Pair then go into tablet bt settings under wireless.
Then.....
Pandora or Rhapsody while surfing or kindle reading.
I'm having the same issue with 5.1.1. Can't connect my motorola headset or my wiimote. They pair, but nothing will stay connected. Manually forcing a connect through the menu doesn't seem to do anything.
Likewise, I've got a Motorola H17 that connects fine with my Razr and N1 but woun't connect with my Vegan 5.1.1 with Clemsyn v8. Pairs correctly but no connection.

Replying to own post.
Just found Clemsyn's v9. Same thing. Still no connection.
It seems to be an issue with the tablet using VEGAn 5xx because I have that problem too yet no one had a solution so far, or at least no one posted a solution.
I have a Jawbone and my computer and both are paired but not connected. I did connect the Jawbone to my phone so the problem is not with the Jawbone but with the tablet.
Same issue here. I have tried quite a few different bluetooth devices with the same outcome. Can pair (or so it says) but unable to connect. No options found to force it.
Vegan 5.1 here also no bluetooth. Getting "Paired but not connected"
Anyone have a work around for this? Would love to ditch my USB cable to transfer files

You can transfer files wirelessly using an app called file expert. It creates a web site or ftp site with your wifi connection. It is not a fix but at least a work around.

we know that we can realize navigation in gtablet by connecting GPS model~
but I wonder whether we can realize navigation in gtablet by connecting a garmin GPS(my garmin GPS type is 295w) by using the usb port?
thanks~
i dont think so garmins gps is not set up to share its gps data over usb or bluetooth. you best bet is to get a bluetooth gps unit and use bluegps on the gtab to get navigation they modules run about 20-60 dollers for most and work just great.
Garmins don't work. I have two and neither will share their gps signal.

Actually Garmin gpsr's do share their signal via usb. I have used my gpsmap 60csx with my wndows laptops using garmin software Nroute and their mapping software. I am still looking for a method to use it with android.

But doesn't that require that the software can read the usb signal? I haven't found anything on android that will do this.
I went with a Tom Tom Navigator 6 gps unit (approximately the size of a pack of gum) and BlueGPS on the tablet. It works a little strange since you pair to the gps unit but it never "connects". It just appears in the BlueGPS service and it available to all the gps enabled apps on the g-tab.
I also use Tomtom Bluetooth GPS with CoPilot live 8.
Works great.
Although to answer OP's question about USB connection:
Viewsonic ROMs based on 1.1 version didn't have much of USB functionality.
Now, with 1.2 version released there is more USB support, as keyboard and mouse and several others.
I do not have 4391 installed yet, so cannot try it out.
Maybe someone else running recent ROM can try to connect USB based GPS and let us know?
I'm looking into gettin garmin_gps module for my CM9 galaxy i9000 running 3.0.8-g4cf4918.

My touch pad is running CM alpha 3.5 and i managed to sync it with a bluetooth OBD2 device i baught of ebay. I have installed torque on my toucpad however the OBD device is not communicating with it.
On my laptop running win7 i synced the obd device and using free obd software it was communicating with my laptop and was able to read the ECU.
SO the OBD device is working, just not likeing my touchpad. Is there something i am doing wrong??
Thanks
Alpha 3.5 here with a generic OBD2 BT reader. Torque finds and connects to mine right away...works great and looks sweet. If you want GPS data you can tether your GPS to your phone with an app from Market, it works great.
If you are prompted for a password when torque connects to your OBD reader, try 1234.
thanks for your reply. I was hoping it was a case of plug it in and sync to get it working.
i have managed to connect a GPS reciever i found lying around my house and got it working fine with copilot using a app off the market place. Its just the OBD device dosent want to work. Ill borrow a friends phone and try it out with the free version of torque to see if it works fine. The other option is get a WLAN obd deivce for my iphone but i really dont want to pay the stupdily high prices they are atm.
Last night i tested out using a friends galaxy s2 and it all worked fine straight away
The only difference i noticed when paired with the s2 the android bt settings says the obd device is 'connected'. With my touchpad it says 'paired but not connected'
Had the same issue with the free version of torque app, try to purchase the full version and try it then, works great for me. If it still doesn't work you have 15 minutes to return the app for a refund.

Paired not connected is what it will always say unless you are directly accessing it. If I open torque it finds my device and connects, then the status indicates connected.
make sure you pair with the correct code
i got an ELM327 bluetooth thing from amazon last month for $20. had to get the pair code off some comments on amazon.
the first time i tried to pair with the wrong code, it said it paired but torque didn't read it at all. kinda weird that it said it paired.
once i got the right code, torque worked fine.
Both Bluetooth and Wifi OBD-II devices are supported by our headunits. Keep in mind that you get what you pay for with these devices and the cheap ebay ones aren't very reliable
OBD devices are only detected if broadcasting name contains OBD. There is a work around using petrows CarService
Please report back any that work for you

Curious about how to resolve the problem I have with OBD.
I use an OBDLink LX, which is far and away one of the best you can use. Not a cheap Chinese knock-off and it has specific support in both Torque and Dashcommand.
On my MTC KLD unit, Torque detects the OBD device just fine. Torque just works with it, I didn't have to do anything.
However, Dashcommand does not reliably detect it. Dash Command is enumerating devices differently somehow, and just shows "paired device" for everything. I was able to randomly choose one once, and it worked. The next time, it wouldn't work on either one. I would MUCH prefer to use Dash Command, as Torque gives me wildly inaccurate readings (MPG, HP, Torque, all are way off despite using accurate profile information). Dash Command tech support insulted me by simply responding to read the user manual PDF.
Any ideas?
I've just got a "LUJII Mini OBD2 ELM327 V1.5 Bluetooth Car Scanner". Works ok with my phone, and in the Bluetooth menu it seems to pair. But then Torque says it is not paired even though I have the OBD sign in the top status bar.
Need to force the pairing inside of the torque app by selecting which OBD device and then it works ok.

same problem for me on my kld 3066 Torque is paired and working immediatly.
dashcommand pair OBDII BT device but always don't connect, i just found that OBDII connect to dashcommand 80% of the times if I force dashcommand to close from Apps list and that I restart the App
I write lot of mails to dashcommand about this problem (also because i buy), ...I send Debugs and so...but I still with the same problem
Am I gonna also lose connection to may hands free bluetooth if I get a bluetooth one?
I never had one of those and would like to know which one you recommend for a Rk3066 HU
Thanks.
I got this one off amazon and for 11 bucks it works 99% of the time. The only issue I have had is it reads wrong codes on Subaru but works fine on Toyota, Nissan and Kia so far.

Hi all.....
I've got a SCANTOOL OBDLink LX connected to my AUDI S3 8P, and it's the fastest BT dongle i've ever seen.....it make about 45 Fps, when china's ELM make 10 Fps.....
Unfortunatly, the TP 2.0 protocol isn't available with a standard ELM327.....you just access to generic PIDs, so it's limited.....i'm working on it.
I also try a WBH BT5 dongle, witch should read the TP 2.0 with TORQUE......at the moment, i can't access to my ECU MED9.1 (but i can on KWP1281 EDC15P), i'm working on it too, with florian Help...
To paired with the WBH BT5, you need to override in Xposed MTC the dongle string name, and it work fine.

No you can bluetooth to more than one device at a time.
Anyone using VGate iCar v2 or v3 BT version? I wish to have one of these as they have automatic sleep mode so you can keep it plugged all the time without batt drain.
So I've tried both this adapter http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014MV03KY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00 and this adapter http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NLQAHS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
And I can't get either of them connect to bluetooth. They both show up when you search for the adapter, but neither of them connect. They don't even give me the option to put in the PIN to have them connect. Has anyone ever had this kind of issue? If so what can I do to fix it?

Correction - I found the settings page finally - apparently I hadn't actually enabled xposed MTC. Once it was enabled and rebooted, I still haven't been able to get the device to show up at all in the bluetooth settings. I've tried:
K
k
Kiwi
KIWI
Kiwi 3
3
kiwi
KIW
kiw
Kiw
as well as leaving the field blank. Still nothing in the bluetooth settings. I can confirm that the device is on and connectable from my phone. Am I doing something wrong?
has anyone found an adapter that plays well with mtcb decks and 2001 f150's? i've tried 3 adapters and still haven't gotten one that does both. either the connect no problem to my deck but not to the ecu or they connect to ecu but its named "chx" instead of obd and won't connect to my deck. i did try using the xposed module to override but it never worked for me either.
