Hi,
I have a problem with a Bluetooth GPS receiver (COPILOT) and pairing it with the XDA II.Why does it always asks me for a device PIN.I haven't got one.Why do I need one and why can I not do it without a DEvcie PIN ?
I am ROM 1.6 and Radio 1.1
Help would very much appreciated.

To prevent people from making unauthorized use of the unit! If you haven't got the pin then there's probably something fishy about the way you got it ........

Do you have a manual? it should be in there.

Nothing fishy about it.Bought it from expansys.Does every device need a PIN then.Got Software activation code and all the boxes and manual.
Are not explaining pairing in the manual at all.Should just work according to the Manual.

0183

All you needed to do was search the forum for Copilot.

I searched for Bluetooth and GPS,but Copilot did not come to mind.
I think I am a bit fed up in having so many problems.
EXPANSYS seem to have sent me an incomplete package.Only half the Vent mount kit and no instruction booklet for GPS.
Thanks very much.You made my day!
I am very grateful to you for that info.
Hope it will sort my problem.

I am step furher .I got the two paired now.
It seems that I have no proper manual for the GPS receiver would anybody know which Com Port I need to set it to and what speed ?I get a green tick for GPS Comp Port Opened and when I choose Setup GPS,
Automatic seems not to detect.I get error message "Automatic GPS connection failed.Verify that your receiver is connected.".
Any ideas?
Thanks Heiko

Try com 5, assuming you answered yes to the question about serial device when bonding the gps.

I think for future reference here is my painful configuration experience of COPILOT Version 5 with a Copilot Bluetooth GPS receiver and XDA II.
1.Check that the Quickstart Package is complete:
-GPS receiver User Guide,Ventmount Kit with attachment for PDA,Bluetooth PIN code for GPS receiver.
- User/Installation Guide
- CDs and 128Mbyte SD card
2.Install the Software from the SD Card according to the User Guide
3.Check the Version number and note it down.Go to the Technical Support section of the Copilot Website and see whether there are any Patches available.
3.Deinstall the software from your device and install the patched software which you need to copy onto your SD card.
4.Install the software.
3.Check that you have bonded your Bluetooth GPS receiver with the XDA II and enable Comport 4Inbound and 5 Outbound.(ROM Version 1.60)
5.Use Code 0183 as the Bluetooth device PIN code
6.Go into Copilot software and everything should work as it did for me if you haven't lost the will to live by this time !
7.read this first : Buy a SatNav system with your car and haggle with the salesman like mad (its quicker).
Hope this helps everyone else as people helped me here.
Thanks

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for the code

I was just about to give up, but the 0183 code worked like a charm. I have the new PPC6700 with WM5 and all of a sudden it wants the code. Previous versions never needed it. You just saved me $150.
Thanks again
