TomTom One v3 - GPRS Traffic & Bluetooth Carkit

[gaz_0001]

I have a tomtom one, v3, silver one, quite slim. Not very good, only about £100.


I want to use the tomtom traffic services via bluetooth on my phone, i think it works via GPRS??

My question is will it work whilst also working on my car kit??

My equipment it.

HTC TyTn II
TomTom One v3
Parrot CK3100 - Bluetooth Hands Free Kit.


I was going to get the FM TDS transmitter addon thing but heard its not worth the £30 as it works very badly.

any advice appreciated, Thanks

If you have a TomTom One Third Edition (which is all silver and has the RDS-TMC connection point on its base) then you can forget GPRS and bluetooth as the device has no BT connectivity.
Your only option is the RDS-TMC receiver with the Third Edition TomTom One - Mike

it only seems to have a usb cable input in the bottom. It does seem to have an antenna type connection on the rear.

There is a bluetooth option in the menu. Is this just a standard button?

OK you must have a standard TomTom One (if there is such a thing these days) - It will have Bluetooth for a data connection only, have you tried connecting the phone to it via Bluetooth and found it doesn't work?

The problem is down to Microsoft not including the BT DUN profile in your phones ROM, this is required to communicate with the TomTom, help is at hand by installing the DUN profile to your phone by following the instructions and link in the first few post you find in This Thread.

Once DUN is active on your PDA phone the TT should see the data connection, but bear in mind this is a subscription service so make sure your data connection works before paying out for traffic by trying to use the Weather service as this part is free and is a good test to establish the GPRS is working - Mike
