Bluetooth connect to GPS for phone

[eenieMINI]

I have an HPrx5915 that has the TOMTOM software on it and has bluetooth. It advertises data capability with phone. What I am wanting to do is use it as speaker phone in the car. Connect the Treo to the HP via BT and let the HP answer the phone, use the contact list, microphone, speaker etc becuase I can hook the HP to the stereo. I was thinking instead of investing in a Parrot system I might coud do this as most of the newer GPS units are used as handsfree phone.

So I make the BT connection but the only service the Treo is offering is serial port. Does the treo not support handsfree with gps units??.. I'd hate to go out and get a separate handsfree system as a solution and still have it not work. At the moment I use a BT earpeice just fine but wanted the speaker system.

Any ideas or insight appreciated.

I'm having a similar dilemma. But to answer your question, the Treo can be used as Hands Free, I think it may depend on the GPS though.

I recently purchased a Garmin nuvi 780. I wanted it for the same things you mentioned. It works as a speaker phone, but that's about it.

I can't transfer my contacts or phone numbers. And I can't dial through the GPS. I can connect to it as Hands Free, but it's limited. If an incoming call comes in, I hit "answer" on the GPS, and also have to hit the green phone to answer it on the Treo, and talk through the GPS. And if I want to make a call, I have to dial it on the Treo, and then the audio comes out of the GPS. Another quirky thing, if I call a LAN line, I have to hang up on the Treo to disconnect the call even after the other party hangs up. But if I call a cell phone, once they hang up, I'm disconnected.

From what I understand, it's the Treo's limited bluetooth capabilities that makes things difficult. Some things work, but not entirely.

Good luck!
