TomTom connection to head unit

paul4pcp · 14th February 2007, 23:21

Can this be done using the audio cable provided and is it worth doing?

Rich · 14th February 2007, 23:23

TomTom model?

TomTom version?

Headunit model?

Cable provided by TomTom or MGR or Connects2 or etc.

More info Paul...

Sorry Rich it was late. Tom Tom 910-new. Symphony head unit. Im using the bluetooth link to my mobile and the only cable I have is the one provided by Tom Tom but im open to ideas. Thanks.

IVe just removed the head unit to see whats there and I guessmy new question is is there an aux input into the symphony and if there is how do you switch to it?

Rich · 16th February 2007, 13:35

The Symphony has no aux in so you have two options I guess Paul.

1) Buy a Connects2 type kit which will sit inline with the cd changer and route your audio in there

2) Buy something like what Parrot use that mutes the radio and plays the audio out the car speakers

Neither option really are ideal, but that's about all I can come up with!

Rich · 16th February 2007, 13:37

Can the 910 stream audio out via Bluetooth?

If so, would a parrot kit (which can also be used for your phone) paired up to TomTom work?

Thanks Rich. Ive spoken to connect 2 an they dont do anything specific. Tom Tom have just launched (still limited availability) an FM transmitter mount which solves most of the issues, so ive ordered one. Watch this space.

Rich - similar question to Paul's.

Do you know if there's a way of feeding the sound from a Navman F20 into the car's audio system (Symphony & CD changer)?

Rich · 21st February 2007, 16:31

All of the above applies to anything you want to feed into your existing ICE really, be it mp3 player, tomtom, ps2, etc

My TomTom fm tranmitter mount arrived yesterday upgraded the software and it works brilliantly. MP3's through the car stereo, hands free phone and sat nav instruction mute music. A good solution.
