Rikaline (Fuzion) X50 & SPV C500 Problems

[Stephann]

Hi there,

I've got an SPV C500 & Rikaline (Fuzion) X50 BT Receiver setup and am trying to run TomTom Mobile 2005.

I have ticked both the outgoing and incoming BT COM ports under 'connections' on the start menu, set the device name to 'TomTom Wireless GPS' and run the TomTom Traffic patch from TomTom's site.

The 'BT' light on the GPS flashes once a second, which indicates it's found a connection with my SPV, but the satellite light stays lit red all the time (which the manual says means 'inquiring position' rather than 'position fixed.' TomTom finds the GPS device but says 'No Valid GPS signal.'

Any ideas?


Thanks very much,



Stephann

I have also tried following the advice at the following thread: http://pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=12719

Which reads as follows:

There is a known bug on the C500 which makes pairing work but no application can use the GPS.

The best way to pair a device successfully is to

1) delete all pairings you have
2) go into configuration and disable outbound COM7 and OK
3) go back and re-enable COM7
4) power cycle phone
5) Go in and re-enable COM7 again (it's unchecked)
6) This will throw you into Bluetooth pairing
7) Create a new bond and pair key
8 ) Before doing anything else, power cycle phone
9) Go back in and double check that COM7 is now enabled under Configuration
10) Now use any GPS application and it should work.
