hey all,

a non 4x4 tech question...

Does anyone know weather you can attach more then one device at a time to a PDA/phone/XDA such as a
BT car kit
BT GPS

Im thinking of hooking a BT GPS up to my O2 Atom but also use my Blue tooth car kit all the time.

any help would be great.

Thanks
Gordon

Jock said i should ask this qyestion here too...

I am 99.99999999999999999999% sure you can, it would depend more on whether the atom can as Bluetooth is capable of doing it

NOMYS is running a GPS and heaphones of his JASJAM at once and I have run the same off my ASUS so you should be right

I would go to like Johnny apleseed and pretend to buy one but try it out 1st then go hit ebay

[teddy]

mmmm yeah i'll check out Johnny appleseed and see what they have to say...

[ben699]

yeah , depends on what item it is, most tho can do 2.


I can run a bluetooth gps and the head set on a nokia n80.

yeah it works... i have my O2 connected to my bluetooth car kit and my bluetooth GPS.

only problem i find now is that when ever i go through the Etoll lanes (gateway) the GPS drops it signal and will now reconnect... dont know what it is??? any idea's

[royce]

does it lose the bluetooth connection or the gps signal?

I have found with my asus (inbuilt gps) it would drop the gps signal and regain it every tunnel, would beep on the way in and beep on the way out

Yep mine does the same.

[royce]

its funny when you have someone driving that struggles with a tv remote, they think its beeping cause there is a radar in the tunnel

[teddy]

dont know about tunnels but it drops GPS singal (not bluetooth) every time i go though the Etoll lanes... (makes it hard now i live at Wynnum and go over it every day )

I get the same thing - ever since I got the eToll tag installed the GPS dies when I go through the gates.

The cause is the eToll tag's response to being interrogated - the energy being put out by the eToll booth energises the tag, turning it into a broadcaster. The interference is very local, but if it bothers you try mounting the tag further away from the GPS unit. A metre should do it.
