Hi,

I am trying to connect my Rikaline GPS to my Vario. This unit works fine with my IPAQ and SPV C550.

I have paired the devices and am able to input a blank passcode (which is the default) to sucessfully pair the two. I then add a new outgoing com port and add it to the Rikaline device.

The problem starts when I point TomTom at the com port. I then get a message saying that the Rikaline wants to connect to my unit and prompts me for the passcode again. At this point, I can't enter a blank passcode sad.gif The "next" button is greyed out until I type something and if I try another code the connection gets totally removed!

Any ideas on how I can either pair it properly so the 2nd passcode is not requested or get it to accept a blank passcode in the dialog box the 2nd time round?

Cheers,
Neil

Don't know about the Wizard and TomTom but I had a similar problem with my Universal and Destinator. Try pairing with a passkey of 0000 initally, then select serial port as the service to use from the GPS, then set up an outgoing COM port with security disabled. On my setup I could only choose 0,4 or 8 as my outgoing ports , which destinator was unable to connect to, needed to use a hex editor to edit the destinator.ini file and manually set the GPS port as COM 8 (which is what I'd decided to use).

No problem, sounds like tomtom is much easier to work with than destinator. Its just a pity they don't use the navicore maps, tomtom's coverage in Ireland is a bit of a joke outside the bigger cities here.

i found the same problem with secure ports...but only after i upgraded to the latest AKU2 rom.

with the original t-mo rom i had it set to secure, but after the upgrade it needed pairing each time...untill i unticked the secure box!
