I have a bluetooth GPS device in each of my two cars.
It seems it is not possible to pair both devices and use my navigation software with the device in the car I am driving.
The phone seems to select only the last paired device.
Does anyone have an idea about a solution?

got my qstarz bluetooth gps device today. once it's paired up and the bluetooth light on the gps box flashes every second it works fine with tomtom.
the problem comes when i switch off bluetooth on the phone and switch off the bluetooth gps box. when i come to switch it all back on again the phone can't communicate with the gps box unless I go through the re-pairing process.
anyone else had this problem or know how to sort it?
Hi,
I was wondering, is it possible to use bluetooth car kit on a Wizard at the same time it is using its bluetooth connection to talk to a bluetooth GPS dongle (Holux 236)?
TIA
i use a parrot car bt car kit and the same holux gps receiver sometimes at the same time and have no problems.
I also use a Holux 236 and talk with my earpiece at the same time. I haven't had any problems yet.
Nice one, thanks for that.
This should be perfectly possible.
The Bluetooth standard v1.2 allows a device to connect to multiple devices via bluetooth at the same time.
Not sure on the exact specs, but can imagine the device time splitting data from multiple devices with certain connection types having different priorities?!?!
So, having a BT Headset and GPS at same time - headset device should be ok, but GPS data may be slower to update....
Thanks again.
I never used bluetooth GPS device so what I found so far with IOgear GPS receiver is strange.
Whenever I switch on my Wizard and GPS device within a range, I'm prompted to establish pair with it (even though I already done it before), then I have to manually setup outgoing COM port in Bluetooth manager and only after that mapping software can see GPS device.
I have to do each time I switch off and on GPS bluetooth receiver, is it expected or something is broken with my Wizard OS or GPS receiver?
I use WM6.
Recently I purchased a Pioneer F900BT for my car, which is a stereo, GPS, and bluetooth enabled unit.
I am able to initially pair it with my HTC x7501 with no problem. And for a couple of days the 2 devices will find each other when I get in the car and the stereo turns on. But eventually they just stop talking and I have to re-pair them over again.
I find this bizarre since both machines still list each other as paired devices in their respective bluetooth setups. They just stop talking to each other.
On the HTC side, in an attempt to remedy this, I upgraded to a 6.1 ROM and the 1.58 radio version. But that did not change the behaviour at all.
Any thoughts? I will be posting a similar message on the avic411 site which is for my Pioneer unit.
Alright,
Quick question, is it possible to make your phones bluetooth connection strength very good, like for example, let's say I've got 5 s8's, and a car that plays bluetooth audio, I've paired all 5 phones to the car, is there a way to make one of the phones pair automatically? Is there a setting on the phone? Or will it be from the car?, if its on the phone,am I able to do this to all Bluetooth devices? So if I go near a Bluetooth device, that I've paired with,and there's someone else beside me that's paired,I want it to connect to mine first,
Thanks
You should first try looking in the Bluetooth settings in your car multimedia system. It's really dependent on each system if it allows this kind of behavior.
