TomTom Go 930 bluetooth audio routing

[beanbag]

OK.....I've checked but I've not found this so perhaps I'm doing something wrong.....

I have a TomTom Go 930 connected to my iPhone via bluetooth for the handsfree phone while driving, and the iPhone is connected to my car through a dock connector to 3.5mm / USB output (for charging), for music

Everything works very well with calls. When I receive one, the music pauses and the call comes in. Perfect!

The only problem is the TomTom is very quiet, and it makes calls difficult to listen to. I'd like to know if it's possible to route the audio through the iPhone aux input in the car (so I can listen to the call on my stereo), and continue using the TomTom microphone which is of course much better than the iPhone one.

Is it possible to do and has anyone done this before?

Seriously? Nobody?

I'm certainly not an expert, but I believe that the TomTom 930 and iphone do not have A2DP protocol, so you will not be able to stream audio from the Tomtom to the car audio.

...but as I say, not certain on this.

Cheers for the reply. I've been searching about for days for this but it seems it isn't possible. A massive shame since it would be an awesome set-up if it were! The TomTom speaker is simply too quiet at times (especially along the motorway), and it just gets irritating not being able to hear people well.

An alternative is to use another line-out from the TomTom, but that's another messy cable to deal with and there isn't a chance I'm letting that happen.

In fact, when I take the car for it's winter tyre service, I'm getting the dealer to hide the TomTom power cable behind the dash and I'll see if it's possible to route the power from behind the ciggie socket.

I had that done in our previous car - cost me £40 labour plus £5 for some additional wiring - achieves a nice neat install.

I think the Tomtom 930T is an awesome piece of kit - particularly with speed camera spoken warnings etc - shame about the speaker quality. Is it possible to use the built-in FM modulator to route calls to in-car audio (or is that MP3 only)

I've got a 530 and have exactly the same problem. Route directions, camera warnings etc lovely and loud. But as soon as you use it as a phone its so quiet I can bearly hear it even at 100% volume. I havent tried it using the FM output through the stereo as thats also crap.

Got a headset in the end, much better solution.
