tomtom 5 dell axim blue tooth problem

[bigstu25]

I have had dell axim 5 a couple of years now with tom-tom 5 using tom-tom blue tooth receiver. Was working ok but I dropped axim a couple of days ago and battery fell of. When I put it back together when I use tom-tom part it doesn't pick up signal from receiver I get message at the bottom no gps device I have checked Bluetooth receiver on dell is working as I can transfer pictures from my phone. On the blue tooth connection on the settings when I press search for devices it lists tom-tom wireless GPS would be grateful if anyone knows if I need to do to reset as although I have had dell for a few years now I am still a novice if anything goes wrong thanks

sounds like you just need to pair the receiver with your PDA and maybe reconfigure within TomTom.

Before you tried to configure the GPS in the TomTom application did you go to the Bluetooth Manager, find the GPS in the list tap and hold from the pop-up select "Connect".
Now to configure in TomTom select "Other Bluetooth GPS" if its still not listed, try selecting "Other cabled NMEA GPS" I appreciate its a Bluetooth device, but the Other cabled setting used to work for a lt of users - Mike

When I go to Bluetooth manager it recognises tom-tom Bluetooth I put in the code 0000 and is recognised its when I go to configure on tom-tom part I have tried on all 3 sections tom-tom Bluetooth, other Bluetooth and other cabled receiver on booth the other Bluetooth and other cabled receiver I get the choice USB CABLE: COM3: NATIVE IR: SERIAL CABLE ON COM 1
none of these choices seem to work I have read on the tom-tom site and ollowed what you have suggested so am not sure I am missing something

yes I used a slightly diferent way as the one you showed is for 2002 works mines has 2003. What TomTom have said axim5 isn't one that is listed as compatable with tomtom bluetooth on tomtom 5 and this is why i could be having isues with conection I am wating for them to get back to me as when i purchased upgrade i told them I had Dell axim ex5running on bluetooth and they said nothing about not working when purchased. At the moment I am not sure what to do also confused as it has worked for 7 months before this
Thanks for all your help so far if you have any other sugestions they would apreciated thanks
