GP-27 Conneting to Nokia 6680 Passcode HELP

pimlicolion · Occasional Visitor Joined: Aug 06, 2005 Posts: 4

I have just bought a GP-27 Bluetooth GPS receiver and when i try to connect to my 6680 I am asked for a passcode but the one supplied with the receiver it is incorrect "000000". Has anyone used one of this type and have a different passcode. I have tried lots of other codes but no luck.

Please note this is NOT a code to acctivate any software just to allow my phone to talk to the GPS via bluetooth.

Thanks in advance

Alway thought that BT receivers and phones etc have a four digit code to pair up?

May be wrong though

Yes it should be 0000 (four digits).

Never heard of anything other than "0000", best get back to who supplied it.

Cheers

Odd, I downloaded the manual and you are quite correct, it does indeed claim the passcode is '000000'.

Darren, Vmlopes thank you very much for the help/advice.
I have just recived these instructions and they seem to work without the passcode. I dont know how but they do. I am wating for a reply to a e-mail from the supplier to see if he will change the unit in the future if there is a problem with the passcode(say i change phones and it needs the passcode). And will keep it if he agrees.

RED LED : Battery status (red light always standing on)

GREEN LED : GPS signal status (slow flashing: no GPS signal available –
fast
flashing: GPS signal available)

BLUE LED : Bluetooth connection status (fast flashing: no devices
connected – slow flashing: the GPS receiver is trying to make a
connection
with a Bluetooth device – blue light standing on: Bluetooth connection
activated)

GPS configuration with TomTom Mobile 5 and Route 66:

• Turn on the GPS receiver and wait until it catches the signal (the
green
led must flash fastly). The blue led flashes fast too (no devices
connected).

• Run TomTom Mobile 5

• Execute: Menu à Change Preferences à Show GPS status à Configure à
Choose
Other Bluetooth GPS and Select.

• Now we need to find the cpit-GPS. Start to search Bluetooth devices (if

in the start you see no devices persist until you see the GPS device),
choose cpit-GPS, then select it and press Done. Exit the program. While
your
exit you should see the blue led flashing slower than before. The
pairing is
done.

• Then (and for the following times) execute only the steps 1) and 2)
and
just wait till the blue led flashes slowly (if your device ask you the
protection code, ignore it) . Follow then the step 3) and choose the
cpit-GPS already standing in the list; the blue light will turn always
on
without flashing and you should see the GPS signal shown on the display.

Thanks for everything
Steve

I just bought this receiver as the Purple Grid K3 from gpsforless.co.uk and I am having the same trouble with Route66. It won't pair but if you cancel then start the software it talks to it. I am not happy with this though as I want it as a trusted device and don't want to keep fiddling around getting it to connect first before I can even start planning.
I have e-mailed support at 'gpsforless' but if it can't be cured them i'm returning it as faulty. Angry

If anyone can recommend a good cheap BT unit instead then can you suggest anything?

dont know if this will help either of you, more likely to help tomtom user, try renaming the receiver in bluetooth settings.

for tomtom rename to "TomTom GPS Receiver"

hi everyone

i have just bought one of these gp-27 devices and i am suffering from passkey failure on three seperate devices,

can anyone help?
is there any other passkeys out there?
is it a 6 digit code or the usual 4?

thanks

Problem is Aliendad we or at least I cant get the device recognised so that it stays in the bluetooth menu to rename.

Same here, can't rename the device as it doesn't appear. Out of interest I thought I would try pairing from a laptop, whilst the laptop could see it and says it was connected the led on the GPS kept on flashing as though it wasn't there, it didn't ask for a passkey either!
I'm going to return mine but as the gpsgforless website says they are moving at the moment it's proving difficult to contact them.

very strange?

hope you both paid by credit card!

JorgenvonStrangle · Posted: Thu Aug 18, 2005 10:22 am Post subject:

It doesn't make any difference does it as credit card purchases are only covered if it's over £100?
Anyway, I'm sending it back under the terms of the sale of goods act for a refund.
