Live Traffic update via Bluetooth   

Live Traffic update via Bluetooth

Postby naviboy » Sat Nov 16, 2013 7:05 pm

I have been told by connecting my TT to my Mobile using Bluetooth I can get Traffic Updates.

I can connect TT to my Mobile.

But when TT is asked to search for 'Traffic', it comes up on TT ' The required features could not be found for this phone'.

What features are required. ??

thanks

It appears from a search I've carried out.

That in order for TT to operate with 'Traffic' via Bluetooth on a Smartphone.

A feature known as "Bluetooth tethering" is required on your phone, which my Andriod phone has not.

So I need a phone upgrade, unless someone knows different.

On my SGS2 with official JB4.1, Bluetooth tethering is at Settings > More settings > Tethering and portable hotspot > Bluetooth tethering

As far as I know you need a paid subscription for the Traffic services.
Not quite sure if you can get Live traffic just by pairing with a suitable phone.

On mine, Bluetooth tethering is not listed. WiFi yes but not what I want.

Had this link from TomTom if the Mods want to use it.

It lists compatibility info between TomTom devices and Mobile phones, showing what services you can expect between the two selecting your phone or device.
