Guest Larnsky Posted November 9, 2005 Report Posted November 9, 2005 Yes it will install, but you need to do it by copying the .CAB files across, and installing them from the device! I have 5.1 running on mine.... works a treat!

Guest Larnsky Posted November 9, 2005 Report Posted November 9, 2005 hmm thats strange, i just got the TomTom 5 CD, copied the 5 CABs across onto my SD card and ran them from there, i also copied the other files across with them (they have the same names as the files) not sure what extension they were now, but you may need them with the CAB's. I then ran them all one by one from the device and it worked from there. I then installed the update the same way.

Guest sunilbass Posted November 9, 2005 Report Posted November 9, 2005 does your gps connect with ur m5000?? if so, can you tell me how you have done this please?? i've installed tomtom5 plus maps on my xda exec but cant get the gps to connect with the phone although it still works with my c500!!
Guest Loukas Posted November 10, 2005 Report Posted November 10, 2005 Have a look here for a detailed description on how to set it up. It worked for me (after hours of fiddling with it though) Loukas
Guest Markda2000 Posted November 10, 2005 Report Posted November 10, 2005 Has anyone got TomTom working with a wired gps. I have a gps mouse with a PS2 connector and that will do the job for me but before I go and purchase the TomTom 5.0 software I really would like to know that my existing receiver will work. I know I will need to obtain a PS2 to mini USB lead.
Guest iwilliams Posted November 10, 2005 Report Posted November 10, 2005 I still cant install the software The cabs have been copied over and install all but one. The one which doesnt install is the tt5.cab Its fails at the end saying unsuccesful
Guest MSPENCE Posted November 10, 2005 Report Posted November 10, 2005 Could someone let me know do you need a seperate GPS Device for Sat Nav programs etc on the M5000? Some people I have spoken to say yes and others say no and now I am getting confused..!
Guest JamShady Posted November 10, 2005 Report Posted November 10, 2005 Could someone let me know do you need a seperate GPS Device for Sat Nav programs etc on the M5000? Some people I have spoken to say yes and others say no and now I am getting confused..! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, you need a GPS reciever which will locate your position. Your M5000 will connect to this (via bluetooth) and use installed software (TomTom etc) to display your position.
Guest Larnsky Posted November 10, 2005 Report Posted November 10, 2005 OK heres the setup that i have: Got my M5000 with a 1GB SD card and a TomTom Bluetooth Receiver. I'd previously been running tomtom on my M1000 so the maps were already on the SD card (but the program was not) I Copied across all of the CAB files from the tomtom CD ROM and placed them onto the SD card. I then ran them all one by one and installed the program onto the SD card. I tested out tomtom and it worked I then repeated the process, copying across the 5.1 update CABs, i ran all of these and it again worked. I don't know why one of your CABs would fail, as it seemed to work smoothly for me, and for several other people from comments i've read on other forums.
Guest Confucious Posted November 13, 2005 Report Posted November 13, 2005 The cab files will fail if it is, or thinks it is, already running. A soft reboot should help. To pair with a wireless GPS receiver the 5.1 upgrade needs to be installed. Is it up to TomTom to get the install program to work with AS 4 or up to MS to fix AS so it works with the install program? Does anyone know if it will be fixed?
Guest Wizard Posted November 18, 2005 Report Posted November 18, 2005 I just got me TomTom 5 Navigator off ebay along with a TomTom bluetooth GPS device. The device seems to hook up over bluetooth ok, but I'm completely stumped with how to get the software going. - I have a CD with it that only seems to have manuals on it - I have a SD card with it that only seems to contain maps - The 5.1 upgrade won't let me install the software, I assume because it can't find v5.0. I am wondering if the guy I bought it from has not included the software CD, but from what has been said he it doesn't sound like I need it, and just need the cab files for v5.1, but where are they? I have a (hopefully!) valid product code, so I just need the software itself. Anyone? I've a trip to do later today and it would be deeply helpful to have the device working before I leave. Thanks in advance... Wizard
Guest Wizard Posted November 18, 2005 Report Posted November 18, 2005 OK, so I found the cab files on the SD Card. I ran them and now have TomTom running ok on the M5000, and it talks to the GPS device fine. How do I upgrade to v5.1? The installer on Windows only offers me options to install free demos. I don't understand that. Help? Wizard
Guest Confucious Posted November 18, 2005 Report Posted November 18, 2005 To install 5.1 you need to start the install, then when it fails you should have the cab files on your PC (there is a conflict between the instal program and AS 4 and above). Copy the cab files to your device (all 4 of them) and run from there. Once you have installed 5.1 you will have to register it and away you go. Good luck.

I went through Remove Programs and took all of TomTom off. I am now finding (like a previous) poster that it won't install at all now. the ttn.cab file says it cannot be installed, even despite there being loads of space on both the SD card and the device itself. HELP!!? Wizard

Guest Confucious Posted November 18, 2005 Report Posted November 18, 2005 Try a soft reset - it won't install if it's in memory.
Guest mattgod69 Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 Does anyone know how to add the correct english voice to the pocket pc. There are so many cab files to choose from. Also, Io cant seem to find the CAB files from the flaied 5.1 update. Does anyone know where they are extracted to? Many thanks in anticipation.
Guest Shaunfarris Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 Mine installed perfectly and registered direct first time. I do though have version 5.2 of TomTom, and have done the latest Orange ROM update from the website
Guest mattgod69 Posted May 24, 2006 Report Posted May 24, 2006 Thanx Shaun. I managed to get it going in the end with no problems. I just wish the M5000 had a little more memory! Matt Mine installed perfectly and registered direct first time. I do though have version 5.2 of TomTom, and have done the latest Orange ROM update from the website
