Hi lads and lass's.
I have heard (don't know where) that you can somehow, turn your TomTom into your mobile phone receiver?
Does anybody know if this is true and if so, how to do it?

Only on certain models and it requires a bluetooth link. I used to sync my 720 to my old phone which worked well but if you then added a traffic info receiver it would properly crash the system. I did some research and I wasn't alone, it was a bit problem with the firmware. They kept adding new features onto an old platform and they were starting to cause conflict.
Hopefully the newer systems have fixed the problem as the idea was great.
All I used to do was go into the menu and go to the phone icon. There was a sync phone option. I turned bluetooth on on my phone and set it to allow device detection. The TomTom would then scan and detect the phone and pair to it (with a passkey inputted into both devices).

Cheers Chris, Ill give that a go.
So I guess, when someone calls you then, your TomTom takes the call via bluetooth and acts as a handsfree then?
Mine is TomTomXL it's a couple of years old now so I don't know if it's upto the job, but I'll try it anyway.
Thanks mukka,
