TomTom7 and Car Holder -No Sound!!?

[groover71]

Hi all!

I have TomTom7 installed which is working fine (almost).

When I place my Diamond in the car holder (three way output w. USB-Charge/USB-Headphones/3,5mm Headphone) all sounds from my phone are muted (believed to be connected to a headphone I guess).

I could connect the phone to the car audio system via a 3,5 mm audio plug, but then I cannot listen to the radio at the same time as navigating with TomTom.

Is there any known way to solve this so the TomTom7 directions and warnings are always routed through the Diamond internal speaker?

i have this carholder too, it's from brodit right? It's true, the moment you plug in the diamond it thinks it's connected to a headset, so no sound from internal speaker. Ideal for listening to music when connected to your car stereo ofcourse, but when receiving a call you have to take out the diamond, because the sound goes through the car speakers (if the output is connected to your car stereo ofcourse) but you can't talk back because diamonds mic is also muted! I hope there is a way to solve this. Maybe a little program that allows you to direct sound and mic settings?

It's also a similar problem with the little USB to 3.5mm audio adapters, they make the diamond think there is a mic plugged in when there isn't and when someone calls you while you're listening to music, they cant hear you unless you unplug the headphones.

I've also noticed that when the diamond is in my car and connected to my bluetooth kit, the calls come via bluetooth but TomTom does not, this particularly annoys me, as when I'm listening to loud music I miss the speed camera alerts and also obviously cant hear the voice directions.

There seem to be some fairly serious shortcomings in this area. A simple set of options that let the user choose what he/she likes would be best.

Yepp Glenner, it is a Brodit car holder!
A program to solve this as you mention would be great!

Anyone got the skills to solve this?

Yesterday driving home from my work I noticed that the ring tone on an incoming call was heard even when the phone was placed in the holder...

So there must be a way to have the sound re-directed to the internal speaker???

Solved!

Try this little program http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-btmusic.html It sends audio from you diamond to either BT headphone or speaker. Just tried it and seems to work fine, but does need .netCF 2.
Best of luck!

Hi, this BT music doesn't seem to work with my car kit... My car kit supports HFP profile (Handsfree profile)...
What did you do exactly to make it work?

if you rename btmusic.exe.config (not btmusic.exe!!) you can run it too with .NET CF 3.5
Trick i learned from the developer of BTMusic.

Rename to what?

I figured it out. Renaming btmusic.exe.config to btmusic.exe.configx does it.
