Have you upgraded to the new rom version? I heard it solves the bt-gps problems....

The navman pin code is NAVMAN

Doesn't work with Xda II BT, which expects numbers.

Oh well - put pressure on Navman t change their firmware and O2 to change Xda II.

The 4400 is a sealed unit, there's no way of hooking it into a PC to change any firmware.

As to the passkey issue, it's Microsoft not allowing blank keys which is the problem, the 4400 isn't the only device which wants to pair without a numerical passkey...

You'll find that loading the Widcomm BT stack on the XDA II (it can co-exist with the Microsoft one) should fix it from what I've been told.

It certainly fixes the issue on the Leadtek GPS units and I'm told that the Widcomm stack works with non numeric pins.

Search these forums for current location of the link to the Widcomm stack (The Towa fix won't help you BTW).

Cheers

I'm probably going nuts, but I can't find working links anywhere in the forum to a copy of the widcomm stack.

Can someone help? Please?

If you still did not find a solution please try the folowing

- Get the file http://www.angeltowns.com/town/bluetooth/EnableCharPin.zip
- Copy the file EnableCharPin.exe to you PDA
- Start the bonding dialog until you get the password screen
- Now launch the explorer and start the executable (you will get a small message)
- Get back to the password screen (if you don't find it click on the BT icon in the today screen)
- Characters are now enabled

Best regards,
Tobias
