Com Ports for TOMTOM and MDA Vario dont match

---

When setting up my COM port for my BT GPS my Vario only has PORTS 6,7
No matter which port i choose doesnt matter because in my tomtom it only has COM 0,2,3,9

I downloaded some software to give me extra ports but i was no help in my situation it only gave me PORT 5-8.

It is good software.

How can i link my bluetooth GPS with my tomtom without matching ports??

tomtom 5.12 works ok.... had the same problem with the older version

open \program files\navigator\navigator.cfg with a text editor and change the number after com to 6 or 7 (which ever you used in bt settings). Page is mostly garble but you'll see comx with x as the port currently set in tomtom. You can copy file to pc and open with wordpad. edit and copy back.

worked for me.

I use my Vario on ports 6 and 7 with 5.21 version upgrade

MDA vario

Do Varios Only have PORT 6 and 7??

I have a T-Mobile Vario and an O2 mini S.
I setup a new outgoing port for port 7 for the BT device (in the BT settings), but when I tried to setup the BT device in TT it did not show an option in the configure menu for the BT device of either 6 or 7.

As soon as I upgraded to TT V5.2 it showed the com port 7 setting available.

So I think you need to upgrade to TT V5.2.

Yes, try the latest update from tomtom.com which is available for free and install it.

here is the page:

This may seem dumb but now its asking me for a activation code any ideas on a cough**

I just copied and pasted the old one over can i use the sameone or do i need a new cough**
Were almost there with this dumby

Thanks for all the help!!

How Did you paste the update over the old. Was'nt it an exe file for installation ?

I updated without the need of a new activation.

But anyway... why don't you go to their webside and get a new activation ?
