Anyone have 1.72 working with Alturion + BT GPS ????????????

[ronald2oo2]

What ever I try I can not get my Globalsat BT GPS working in Alturion 5.3 with i-mate 1.72. However I can see the responce of my GPS blue LED when I switch on Alt. with the correct com setting!

I tried e.g. hard-resets with/without WM installation of com5, with/without BTHTools installation of com7 and any combination (all with fresh Alt. installation, no other applications)
Beam "receive all incoming" is always off

TT3.03 however works fine in all conditions (installed after I try Alt.) with settings: SiRF Bluetooth/Bluetooth GPS

If anyone has Alturion 5.3 working with 1.72 ROM please let me know the details of your config e.g.:
- version of Alturion (I have 5.3.1.4 and don't trust some updates)
- BTHTools version/ port
- WM com port
- what GPS
- any special utils
or anything else you think is helpfull to try

Anyone knows if TT "SiRF Bluetooth/Bluetooth GPS" works via the serial port or does this somehow works differently???

Thanx for any suggestion.

Thanx for the info lou

I have exactly the same ROM like yours !?. Is your "i-blue GPS" a SiRF II type?


The 5.3 upgrade you can download from www.alturion.com with this exe http://www.alturion.com/update/AlturionAutoUpdate21.exe It probably only works if you are a registered user.

I have 1.72 and Alturion PRO 5.3.

My Bt antenna is Emtac.


It works fine in this configuration.

When you make your connection to the BT antenna , do it through the bluetooth settings on your qtek where you activate the COM5 outbound. Then bond your device with the antenna.

it should work then.
