GO 520 and Bluetooth audio streaming

[Greenglide]

Has anyone managed to stream audio from a GO 520 to a BT enabled car head unit (it is a Pioneer P65BT).

The head unit supports A2DP and works quite happily with an AXIM 50V PDA but the TomTom unit refuses to connect.

The instructions and the on-live help are no help at all!

I have managed to get this working previously, the key seemed to be proximity of the TomTom to the car deck, put it as close as possible when initiating the BT connection, I am not too sure if this was needed due to where my deck is installed or poor BT range when in a vehicle. Once the connection was established all subsequent connections were automatic and it worked very well - Mike

Hey Mike-

Have an Alpine kit installed including this screen:

Want to make sure I understand your response. You were able to get a TomTom device to transmit navigation data/audio to your deck which then was played over the speakers in your car. Can you confirm what model TomTom device you used? I'm looking at either the 720 or 920.

Thanks,
Jason
