I have just baought a Tomtom 300 and the bluetooth option is not highlighted. Does this simply mean it is broke or can it be activated someway?????

I'm afraid you can't use bluetooth for hands-free on a Go300, its only for traffic updates etc. You need a Go500 or 700 or one of the x10 range for that.
You are seeing the icon because the software is identical across the range.

TO be honest the handsfree on my 500 ain't wonderful.

I'm now the owner of a Parrot Minikit, for about £50-55 call quality is really good (certainly better than the TT) and the voice dialing is absolutely brilliant.

You seem to have missed the point. i dont want it as a hands free cos being a Taxi driver passengers would hear all my conversations, I actually only want it to update me using Plus.

Is it a case that it wont be highlighted unless i am subscribed to Tomtom Traffic?

Are you certain it' is a 300 and not a Classic?

I have just checked the details underneath next to the docking area and its Tomtom Go 4D00.001.

Does that help you guys at all, i was told wehn I bought it that it was a Tomtom 300?????

Tap the signal strength icon on the main screen then tap the version xxxx box.

The next screen will tell you which model you have.

Thanks Darren, bad news for me I am affraid.

It was described as a Tomtom Go 300 on eBay but now its here its a plain old Tomtom Go which is far inferior in the respect that is does not have Bluetooth and I bought it for that reason. I am opening a dispute via eBay.

It says i can connect it to the radio and Car Headlights, does anyone know how????????

Sorry to hear that. As the Classic and 300 were visually in-distinguishable it's not an uncommon occurrence either Sad

The link to headlights and radio required a different cradle which was hard wired into the vehicle.

As it was substantially not as described you should be able to get this resolved via eBay/PayPal, good luck.

Just to finish this thread, I opened a dispute via Paypal and had £20 refunded. Poor Guy didnt know the difference between TomTom's. he thought they were all TomTom Go 300's. Happy now its settled.
