Mio 168 and TomTom Plus

I've had TTN5 since June and out of idle curiosity only just activated TomTom Plus for the trial month . Like the look of Traffic etc (admittedly am only currently experiencing it at my desk, connected via activesync).

Question is: Am I right in assuming that there's absolutely no way I could reasonably bluetooth-up my Mio 168 and make it able to access Plus services on the move?

yup

You could craft a infrared connection to your mobile phone though...

Thanks for prompt reply. Have looked around the net quite a bit on this and now given to understand that IR port on Mio 168 will only work for file transfers. It won't work for modem comms.

But I don't suppose that's likely to cause sleepless nights to most other Mio 168 users Smile

... and, incidentally, even without the TomTom extras, I still wouldn't swap my 168 for all the tea in China.

been looking to do this all night and theres my answer, i have only managed to connect my Medion PPC250 to another PDA, my old nokia's 8210 and 8310 i can't remember if they connect at all, maybe i need to sell my pda off and buy a BT enabled jobbie.

But that won't help while you are navigating on the move as the bluetooth SD card occupies the memory card slot so where is he going to put his maps Question

my wi-fi card has also got 256mb of storgae space so maybe he can buy a bluetooth sd card with some storage space. I work for a computer reseller so i'll take a look and see what i can find for you.

The Smiley(?) Sad

say's it all. It's just wishful thinking, as is thinking Tomtom will put back the facility to alter the speeds asigned to the roads.

Ah well, we can all dream can't we?

Looks like all this will be remedied with the new Mio A201

Just a pity I might have to replace my trusty Mio 168 just to get the bluetooth I want. Still, I've got a month or so to think about it.
