Go 910 Handsfree Internal Speaker Only.

[andypenn]

Hi All
I have connected MY GO910 to my ICE via the ext speaker socket but cannot get the Handsfree to play from the radio it will only come from the 910 is this correct?.

MP3's and navi is ok from radio but Handsfree still comes from the internal speaker.

Any sugestions.

Welcome to the forum, what you have found is quite normal, the 910 will only play phone hands free through the actual device speaker, all other audio can be routed through the car deck except phone calls - Mike

Hi
Thanks for that quick reply, Do you think it is worth asking TOMTOM to add the feature to allow handsfree via the external speaker as I find it a bit quiet in the van when at speed, you can always turn the radio up a bit more.

Cheers

They are adding an accessory that does say you can route the audio through the car stereo its called Car Connect, no information on prices or when they will launch to market with it - Mike

Hi Guys,

Just to confirm that the file is placed in the tomtom main drive( not a folder within the drive?)and new txt file is produced called enable_lineout_hands_free and making sure the wording txt is not placed at the end???

This will be most valuable if it works.

many thx

Correct, create the file in note pad, use save as then use Windows Explorer to rename the file, simply delete the .txt file extension, OK to the windows warning and then copy the file to the root directory of the device and enjoy, it certainly works - Mike

Where do you hook the cable to the car radio?? Id love to get this working. I was one of those fools that bought the new fm transmitter mounts only to find that its Sh*te!! Poor reception sound is really low i disapointed so i would love to hook this up to my car radio by a cable.

Have a read of my post Here it details a few options depending upon what your vehicle is fitted with - Mike

the lines between the text are they spaces ..can you tell me step by step the instructions this seems an excellent discovery ..would love to use it thanks

[mikealder]

the lines between the text are not spaces they are shift - which produces _
(the key combination is Shift and - which is on the top row of the keyboard between the 0 and = key).

Or you could highlight the actual text in the post then use copy/ paste to re-name your empty file - Mike

Mike,
Great article mate thanks for the info, however still having no luck with the wireing on my car. Its a megane 2004 with a tuner list vdo head unit. It hasnt a aux out but does have a connector for a cd changer which i gather from reading other forums is a sort of aux out put in put. Just trying to figer out which is the cables to attach!! Failing this I may just get a external speaker for my Tomtom although trying to find one that will connect to cars 12v supply is proving even more tricky!!! As for the tomtom fm transmitter if anyone wanting info on saving money then dont buy this gadet as its pretty well useless! Volume on it is dreadful complete with interferance makes this a complete waiste of dosh. Still im hopeing that Tomtom can improve the software over time so im holding out a little bit longer. Anyone else who can provide info on this will be most welcome.


Kind Regards
