I've just bought a Go 750 live, and what I'm trying to achieve is to have the spoken warning come over the car radio which also has bluetooth.
The radio is a kenwood BT50 U, they can see each other but don't connect.
Is this possible or am I trying to achieve the impossible ?
Cheers.

The important thing is that the radio needs to accept the Bluetooth audio protocol (A2DP) as well as the handsfree protocols.

The Kenwood's specs says:

Bluetooth General Features
Hands free Profile (HPF) Yes
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) Yes

So it should be possible....

I can do the same with a cheapish Sony MEX-BT 2500 car radio.

Presume you have
a. switched on BT in the TomTom BT preferences menu,
b. changed the audio output to BT in the TT speaker preferences menu
c. Set the radio and the TT to search for each other at the same time?
d. entered any default passwords needed (usually "0000")

My 2008 volvo does not have a bluetooth function and I bought a BT / aux adaptor like this

TomTom 930 T would not recognise this as a A2DP AV interface but I found this fix which worked perfectly. It may help you ?
