connecting a bluetooth GPS and a Blutooth phone for GPRS

[nikpro]

I currently have an XDAII which has TomTom Navigator 5 installed and connect to a Parrot CK3300 as the Sat receiver. I have upgraded my phone to a Sony K750i and this is also paired to the parrot car kit. The phone functionality of the Sony is far superior to the XDAII with the car kit however I can not connect the XDAII to use the GPS of the CK3300 and at the same time connect to the internet through the Sony to get traffic.
All devices connect to each other fine and individually but as soon as the GPS is connected the XDAII can not contact the Sony via bluetooth - it's as if it knocks it out.

I have the XDAII paired with only a serial port connection to the car kit and the XDAII is paired to the Sony with neither headset or serial profile - it works fine untill the GPS is active; any suggestions/fixes.

I think you will find that whilst the CK3300 can be paired with up to 5 phones it will actually only allow one connection to one phone at a time.

You find that most bluetooth pairings will only allow one active connection at any one time. I am using the K750i with the TomTom it will only run the TomTom connection and not a BT headset at the same time. I believe this is a bluetooth protocol limitation right now. Which of course may ultimately change.

Pocket PC will allow multiple BT connections at the same time, but AFAIK only for different types of connections, or services. Handsfree phone kits normally use the hands free service - so you can only have one of those at a time. However my Ipaq opens up two BT connections to my Parrot CK3300 at one time. One for the phone (using handsfree service) and one for the sat nav receiver (using serial port service I think)
