|
|
Hi all.
is there a bluetooth earpiece/ headset that will pair with a tomtom go 530? i don't have another £350 for a tomtom rider so iv used a ram mount to mount the go 530 on my handlebars. the scala rider family does'nt and its waaaaaaay to expensive.
or is there another way of getting the directions to my ear?????
iv looked everywhere and tried everything (i think)
Title changed to something more helpful. PaulB2005 |

Sorry for the delay in answering, but I had to find if it worked first.
I connected my Sony Ericsson BlueTooth headset to the 730 and it did not work, I then tried it with my Jabra BlueTooth stereo headset and it worked OK. _________________ (GO 730)(One v2 New ED) and still no wiser |

Another trick you can try with the TomTom is detailed on This Page. It adds a few files to the device and allows it to see more devices via Bluetooth - it might make your options a little easier for a headset - Mike |

I'd be inclined to take my TomTom to the shop that has the Jabra earpiece and try and pair it before you buy. I believe halfords will try a TT with a BT Radio before purchase, but i don't know if they sell the Jabra. _________________ Ric - TomTom 520 DEAD - Passed to the great traffic jam in the sky.
