Hi everyone, this is my first post on this forum, and I am really hoping that someone will be able to help me.
I have a XDAIIi, and a new road angel. I bought TomTom 5 and a lead from Holux. The instructions that accompany the lead are good, but seem to be for a different version of TomTom software, or I am doing something really wrong. Anyway I cannot get the software to recognise a GPS device . The TomTom website is about as useful as lead lifejacket, so I was hoping that someone here, would be able to help. But please don't get too technical with your answers or suggestions, I am a newbie to the whole XDA and TomTom scene .

Many thanks in advance

john

John, go to start/ settings connections tab IrDA and de-select the receive all beams check box, then try again - this will hopefully work if its a cabled setup you are using - Mike

Hi Mike, firstly sorry for the double post, I hope I don't give people a bad first impression.
Secondly you are a genius!! I have just tried it now and it works a treat. Thank you very very much.

John, glad you got it working, it was a guess but - seen it before (it caught me out last year with my XDAIIs) seems like yesterday though, hope you find the forum a fountain of knowledge and of use, get the safety cameras installed, warnings and the POI capture utility to make the most of it all - Mike

i was gonna go for this exact setup

but decided to het the thinknavi gps car cradle
glad i did too!!!
as i've noticed i never loose signal with my TTN5 on my Qtek 2020i (XDAIIi) with the gps cradle

but do experience loss of signal sometimes with the NEW RA2 (thought it was faulty once so had a replacement) but replacement is the same Laughing Out Loud.

best o luck (with regards to signal)

This forum looks more like an Ocean of information, :D

I only went for this set-up because I had already owned the road for while, and then got a XDAIIi as a cheap upgrade. I hadn't even thought about a sat nav setup until I read that the road angel can be used as GPS device. It's a fun roller coaster of learning from that point onwards. Until last night that is. It seemed like I hit a brick wall, when I couldn't get the two devices to talk to each other.

I have another problem though, I can't seem to get the XDA to establish a GPRS signal, is this related to the new setup?

Thanks for the advice alix776, but it is still not working, so I think I will go to the nearest O2 shop and they can sort it out.

it could be you have an xda2i that is not from early batches as there was a change in the productionprocess that ment a wired gps is incompatablewhich is why o23 only offer the bluetooth package for the 2i
