 Posted: Fri Nov 03, 2006 3:27 pm Post subject: Hardwired external antennae for tomtom blue tooth |
 |
|
I have a PDA with TT5 Software and a bluetooth gps receiver also tomtom. I have just got a car with aythermic windscreen and I can get no signal as I was half expecting.  Is there an external antennae that I can plug into the bluetooth receiver and locate under the bonnet or externally? or is there antennae that you can hard wire, mount externally and has blue tooth thus doing away with the tomtom receiver?
I am open to any suggestions.  Thanks.

If you give us the details of which model of bluetooth receiver, that will help us help you! Does it have a socket for an external antenna? The original one, reviewed here has | Quote: | | External Antenna MC female |
The review of the "MkII", makes no mention & I can't find anything on the TT site, but given it is SirfIII, I suspect it may not.

I have a MK2 and it has no external antenna. It is SirfSTAR 3 so shouldn't need one, though, and I use mine in my wife's Renault with no problems.

| Try moving the receiver to another window or the rear screen, that's what I do in my Peugeot. I am also looking for a means of connecting my TT extended antenna with an SMA connector to my bluetooth receiver which has a mcx socket. |
