Thanks for getting back to me.

I was wondering if you have mamanged to use TomTom Plus services on your unit. I tried to do it in the shop and would not automatically set it up.

If you use Plus service did yours set up automatically.

Do you get on well with the unit as a whole.

Hi,

I got my Go 700 last week, after a couple of days I tried to use it with my Motorola V600.
Within 10 minutes, the phone & Tomtom were connected using Bluetooth, and I was able to make and recieve hands free calls. The sound quality was excellent and I was more than happy.
A few days later, I tried to connect again, the phone recognises the Tomtom unit but cannot connect, the Tomtom unit cannot find the phone.
I e-mailed Tomtom who replied saying the V600 was not compatable?

Anyone else have any thoughts or advice?

Lots of thoughts. Most of them not very nice.

In a lot of ways it's not even TT's fault. When BT first came out I was a huge fan. BT was the bee's knees. It promised cable connectivity without the hassles.

Unfortunately BT has yet to deliver that promise. At best it's flakey. At worst it's a have. Each manufacturer wants to implement it differently, and none of them seem interested in interop. Even within their own products. You have a mismash of hardware and software incompatabilities at every level, and the vendors just don't seem to care.

My Nokia 7710 suffers from almost the same problems. Except I can't quite bring myself to blame JUST the phone. Once the phone doesn't want to talk, the TT unit itself seems to get into a snot as well.

The only way I've managed to get mine working again when this happens is to pair my TT500 with my wifes phone, go through the setup & then pair it with my phone again.

YMMV of course. I wish it were easier. The bad part is the frustration. Mine has done it twice now in 3 weeks. (Last Tuesday, and today funnily enough [Sorry. Did I say funny? I's not]).

Thanks for the info, I'll give that a try.
As my wife & I both have V600's, and use the car seperately, I'm going to have to spend a lot of time messing about with bluetooth even if your advice works.

Tomtom say the V620 is compatable, so maybe it's possible to upgrade the V600 to V620 spec. I'll have to try the V600 forums for advice.

I managed to get my old V600 to pair with TT GO 500 but it couldn't connect to the internet for traffic. It was fine as a hands free unit.
