TomTom Rider: Phone Calls

[Zebr]

Anyone other than myself having problems with making the phone calls?

My experience is
- bluetooth headset works fine with the TomTom Rider
- TomTom rider connects to the mobile phone (Motorola V3), synchronises the telephone book and can make/receive calls.
- (!) bluetooth headset switches itself off when there is a mobile phone call.

Anyone had same experience and found the way to fix it?

Thanks,
Sergey

As I understand it, Bluetooth works on a 1-to-1 system. At present, your Tom Tom seems to have been paired with your phone and your headset, BUT, you can only have a single pair active at any one time. So your Tom Tom runs the active pair as being itself and the headset. When the phone rings, it disconnects the headset, and changes to the other pairing with the phone.

I don't know of any way that the TT can run two active pairings simultaneously, which is what you would need to transfer the phone info to the headset, via the TT.

This is a known Motorola problem - the V3 displays message 'bluetooth signal weak' and reverts to the handset.

I don't know whether the 6.x software fixes this but suspect not.

I simply replace my V3 with a Sony W700i. Which stayed connected but was silent!

Thankfully the 6.12 update (OK, it's not official yet!) fixed that problem.
