Hi all
I Realise lots of this has been asked before but
I've read through the forums and there seems to be lots of it works with this and not with this!!!! help!!! Does anyone have an exact answer?
I've had and XDA1, leadtek 9532 mouse, Arkon powered mount(crap interference from the phone :cry: ), TOMTOM2 and the stereo hands free and its been a rocking system :D ....apart from the fact it looks like the cable monster has puked all over my dash. So I'm now about to invest in an XDA2.....fantastic apart from I now know nothing about Bluetooth.....what reciever do I want???.....what handsfree system do I want??? :?: ....and what cradle do I want???? Can the XDA2 deal with talking to the bluetooth handsfree and the gps at the same time????

Recomendations for something neat would be most appreciated. Whats the situation with charging the bluetooth GPS?, it currently takes 4 and half hours to put the cradle on the dash, plug in the xda, plug in the headset, clip on the mic, plug in the radar detector, put the face off stereo in and pick my nose. something easy would be good!!! Thx 4 ure time. M

Hi Mattw

i use an xda 2 and ttnav 2.24 with bt fortuna recieiver and a bt cellink headset. they all work fine together. the nav instructions are given from the XDA and when the phone rings the bt headset cuts in. sometimes after a phonecall i have to start ttnav agian but is still remembers the route so its no real problem.
i also have the Arkon powered mount :cry: its horrible isnt it? as soon as there is a decent powered XDA2 mount available ill get it. ( im waiting for Seido to release their looooooooooong awaited unit)
