PDA GPS Navi Question

Does anyone know any PDA gps that can connect to the TL via bluetooth with either a built in bluetooth or wiht a bluetoottj adapter. I was thinking about this unit at www.miogps.com but wondering how i can get sound from the audio speakers. the built speaker is VERY weakkkkkk.
Thanks.

You can get a vent mounted holder with a built in speaker. I have been scouting a pda/gps combo myself...thinking about the axim x30 with their new bluetooth mapping package. Also if you buy a larger battery off ebay you wont need any cables whatsoever and should get 8-9 hours a charge.

If that's what you want, I'm afraid that you're out of luck. The 04TL's audio gateway for the Hands-Free Profile (HFP) is for phone use only. There is no Bluetooth mechanism in place that will accept audio from anything other than a Bluetooth HFP capable phone.

Also, unless your PDA supports the HFP, there's no hardware in your PDA to get the audio to the Bluetooth portion, either. If your PDA was also a cell phone, and you could hack the software in both the 04TL and the PDA, it's possible - but huge enough a task that it's out of reach for a lot of folks.
