Are you using the original version or the updated 5.0.1.48 ?

I'm using .48 and select Bluetooth for my GPS and it picked it up straight away

hmmm very strange - I installed the 2003 cab / TT5 and my MDA shows version 5.0.1.22.

I have received an email from ALK and they have stated that Co-pilot V.5 isnt compatible with Version 6.

I am getting a free upgrade to version 6 next week but thanks for your help!

How does Co-Pilot compare to TomTom 5? I hear CoPilot 6 is now out too.

.22 was the shipping version, .48 is a free download on their web site, just copy the .cab to your SD card, uninstall, and then run CAB, it should be fine

Haven't seen 6, TT was useless to be as it had no coverage of Ireland, neither the Republic or 6 Counties.

CoPilot 5 had the best coverage at the time

Do you mean CoPilot 5 not compatible with WM5 ? How come you are getting a free upgrade ?

Oops sorry about that that last reply of mine didnt make much sense did it.

According to ALK Co-Pilot 5 is not compatible with WMv5.0 - thats what they said in an email when I asked them about co-pilot 5 not working with mda pro.

I originally had the MDA iii with co-pilot 5 but found a fault with it within the first few weeks. If you are within 28 days then you can get a free exchange but luckily for me there were no more in stock and they were being discontinued by this time so I waited just over two months and got a free upgrade to the MDA Pro but my Co-Pilot stopped working so I had a winge at customer services and they arranged it with a store to swap the co-pilot out when they get it in stock.

SWEET! :wink:
