Rather easy, really.
1. Download the 5.10 upgrade from TomTom (You don't have to install the original 5.0 from the CD first). The file will be either an exe file or ppcup510.zip.
2. Unpack the zipfile (don't run the exe directly from WinRAR or similar programs, that will make it a lot harder to find the directories you want, unpack it to somewhere first). Run the update on the Windows PC. When the first window appears, go to the directory where the update is run from. Don't close the TomTom window, or the files you want will be deleted. You will see some new directories there, and what you want, is "nvapp". Within that you'll find a subdirectory called "app". Copy the four cab-files from that to your PPC, either via the network or ActiveSync. Never mind the ini files.
3. Go to your TomTom CD and find the directory Voice. You'll need to find the correct voice file. For Norway that's nor.cab, for Denmark it's dan.cab and so on. Copy that to the PPC as well.
4. Finally run all the five cabfiles. It doesn't matter which one you run first.
You're done. Of course there's the GPS as well:
1. Pair the Bluetooth GPS with the PPC.
2. Go into Settings, System, GPS. Set Program and hardware port to none and remove the tick from the box "Manage GPS automatically".
3. Settings, Connections, Bluetooth, COM Ports. Create an incoming port (I use COM8). Some ports will give you an error. Also create an outgoing port. I use COM7, and that is called "HOLUX GR-230 (COM7)" since I use a Holux GR-230 GPS.
4. Open TomTom and go through the regular setup. When you come to GPS setup, choose "Other Bluetooth GPS" and set that to the same port as your outgoing port. On my GPS that means COM7. Within 15 seconds your GPS should send signals. And you're good to go TomTom-ing!
And this was my post number 100. I'm so proud! :wink:
Thanks
I have added this to wiki but am not sure that it is for both WM5 and Ce2003.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Install_TomTom
WM5. You can simply run the installation app for WM2003SE, at least if you haven't installed AS 4, I have a sneakin' suspicion that it is the culprit, and not WM5 itself. And 2003 doesn't have the GPS applet in Settings.
And thanks! I tried to add it to the Wiki myself, but I'm hopeless with HTML and I haven't done any Wiki work...
Edit: Saw the note in the Wiki. I have done this twice on my WM5 Qtek 9090, it works as a charm.
Wiki is a piece of cake has Zero to do with coding.
use the edit button and you will see it.
There are one about 5 things you need to know and all of them you will see if you edit a page.
Maybe you would like to add your notes to the page!
Yeah, that was easy. It was creating a new page and linking to it that I couldn't get a grip on. Comments added.
Woo, Thx a lot. finally, i got tomtom 5 running on my ppc.
but anyway, anyone who has USA maps can share with us?? Westcost of USA is most importemt area for me.
Thanks again!!!!!!
Mastiff
If you go back a page and edit it you will see how to create a page.
After you have done the link a ? comes up, you then have to click on that to enter the content.
All Pages strart with BA_ or BA_WM5.
To get a feeling for links just edit a page that has one in it.
Check out the Wiki development Page on the root of BA wiki, You can set up a test area to create your own pages, edit format them ansd then post them when they are done. (you will see my page, edit it and will be able to work the rest out.)
If you have issues then pm me, I will also move files form Upload to a proper place and correct the link.
Have fun.
OK, thanks. I'll try that if I ever have anything worthy of the Wiki again... :wink:
Well, Tomtom is installed succesfully, but the registration of The Benelux map will not work.
This problem wasn't an issue before. With the TomTom 5.00 version from Bakonl.
Someone suggestions?
i got tomtom 5 installed and running fllowed by this guide. however, i copy the California Map to the root of SD Card. but tomtom shows "map not find"??
how to install a map. or i did something wrong?
by the way, i got map from my friend, he bought tomtom from bestbuy. i don't have full copy of tomtom 5. just downloaded the update package from tomtom.com
I just want to thank you for the great info on BT setup for GPS. I was trying to setup my Iguidance and Mapopolis with a Belkin BT GPS and had no luck. WM5 takes some getting used to.
Cheers!

Just happy to be able to help. I've gotten so much help on this forum that it's good I can give something back. Also I struggled like crazy with this, and most of the stuff is just compiled from other posters.
I have installed tomtom 5 but I can't install language.
On my cd I got languages as zip files called **1,**2, etc
I don't find a cab file.
voices are ok now
but gps status is searching for 30 min,I got 2 blocks on status but still no gps connection!!???
Backlight Tomtom 5 with wm2005
The installation works perfect but when i start tomtom5, my backlight is going down. If i look at the backlight settings then they are OK. If i change one of the backlight settings while tomtom is active, the backlight is going on.
Mastif's solution is nice, but imho not conceptual
Mastif, thank you for your solution. But I think it isn't working at all. I'm talking about Blue Angel (WM5) and ASUS BT-100 GPS reciever.
I had big problem connecting TomTom 5.0 to GPS reciever under WM5. Devices were paired well, but TomTom 5.0 (and all other GPS programs) were not able to see serial port on which devices communicated. Avialable were just COM 1, 2 and 9 + BT UART. GPS was paired on ports 7 and 8.
After a lot of attempts I found a solution (IMHO supposed by MS as default):
- turn on Manage GPS Automatically in settings
- set correct hardware port where is GPS paired (COM8)
- choose port where programs should see GPS (COM7)
- start GPS application
- if I understood well, after first applications attempt to recieve GPS data, OS will create "virtual" GPS on port COM7, pair it with real GPS (the same PIN) and start to use it.
- voila! TomTom (5.0) started working!
BUT! This process is not repeatable! I spent a lot of time to start it again, with very bad success, sometimes ok, sometimes not. And I can't imagine that I will write PIN code for GPS pairing at every start of TomTom (eg in moving car
So I tried Mastifs solution with partial success, I upgraded TomTom at 5.1, turned off GPS sharing feature, paired GPS and TomTom 5.1 seems to be ok. But other programs not! They don't see paired COM port as well...
Any other advice? I need to complete this task to November, 1st, because I will drive Atlanta - Key West - and back. I need a satellite navigation! Last month I made a "little" trip Prague - Germany - Netherlands - Belgium - France - most western part of England and back, major part I drove alone and can't imagine driving without TomTom! But it was with MDAII (Himalaya), now with Blue Angel I am nearly lost!

Hi firstly thanks for this method I'm so happy to have it working on my pda (your a champion)...One issue i have encountered is that even after installing off the update of 5.10 in prefs it says it is 5.0 which is odd to me as I have it working fully and as far as I know it doesn't have any probs with the probs of 5.0 but saying this i'm not sure how I would know if it is having probs with my vga etc etc
thanks in advance
Kind of strange. Mine says "Prg. Version 5.100 (5160)" under Preferences, Show version.
Thx for the guide, I finally got TT working again on wm5 !
One snag though ... TT5 doesn't appear in the Today screen, even when I select this program in "system - today" :?

Hi to everyone,
I just installed HTC.Kaiser.Home.Eng.0409.5Tab.schen.cab and I renamed right dll (I have an italian wm6).
All ok, home plugin appears but... I can't add items to favorite people or launcher. I tried with 3 tabs version and seems all ok: I can add shortcuts to launcher simply tapping on an empty space. With 6 version if I do the same thing, nothing happens. I can only delete items...
Anyone with same problem and hopefully with a solutino?
I had the same issue. Then I have installed the touch plugin.
However if someone has any solutions regarding this....
nobody has any solutions for this issue ?
did rename all theese?
HTCHome.dll.0409.mui -> HTCHome.dll.0414.mui
HTC HDlg.exe.0409.mui ->HTC HDlg.exe.0414.mui
HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml -> HH_0414_WeatherCities.xml
htcbtql.dll.0409.mui -> htcbtql.dll.0414.mui
(0414 is norwegian countrycode ofcourse, yours needs to be the italian....ofcourse )
If not there is a whole bunch of HTC home plugins, why not give them a try?
I use the HTC.Kaiser.Home.Eng.0409.6Tab.schen.cab without any problems after renaming the .dll, .mui and the .xml files
besides, try use total commander for editing.
Another thing worth noticing is that all files in windows folder are read-only, and you cant change or edit them...
But, if you use total commander, then go to your windows dir, select all files within the win folder, go to properties, then uncheck the read-only box.
Then you can in.ex change the windows boot screen (not the splash from HTC) you can edit the welcomehead.png and be able to replace the original with your new one
Ok for the moment I have the HTC home of the THT Touch.
I will remove it and install the kaiser plugin again
(I use Resco explorer)
Ok I have installed a new time the kaiser plugin and rename all the files.
That is working correctly now
Thanks a lot itje
no problem, glad I can help out, allthoug I did only point out what someone else has figured out
btw, I cant get the kaiser 10 button to work, I get that the file dont have the permissions to install, even though i disable com manager, but I got the 8 button touch com to work, its good enough for the time beeing
yes, there were some other files to rename. Thx
I don't know if i'm missing something here, but the bluetooth manager folder in file explorer seems useless.It never finds any of my devices and i have no idea why. It says searching but can't find anything. It can't find my 8525 when it' on and visible. Does the 8525 have to have this for it to work? If not, how can i get it working? Thanks

I had problems with this too, couldn't find the receiver device when trying to send a file.
This worked for me:
You have to do kinda "shake hands" of the devices the first time.
Goto Start menu -> settings -> connections -> bluetooth -> devices -> add new device
(could be named a little bit different, I translated from my german device)
You will be asked for a password. I normally use 0000 (standard BT password), even if it's not the savest way I think
The other device will recognize this and also askes for the password.
Once the device is mentioned in the devices list, sending and receiving to/from it will be possible.
I hope this was what you asked for.
Greetz,
Hans Olo
My problem
I have done the whole pairing thing but when i do the discover services it say no services found and it's not connected please advise
u need to go in the BT configuration and under FTP tab check the Enable File Sharing.
For some reason or maybe for me only, this settings does not stick, and I have to do it anytime I want to exchange files. But once I tick the box, I am able to transfer files, contacts and such.
On the same FTP page you can choose to activate the BT explorer. This will browse other BT enabled phones ?! I guess. More like BT jacking?!
is there a cab for the BT Explorer as it is not cooked into the rom I have ??
I was looking for a solution to use my Sony Bluetooth DR-BT21G headphones with my TyTnII (stock Italian HTC 6.1 ROM). I read a thread here which mentioned a programme called A2DP Switch. I installed this, and it did not work, so I disinstalled it and used A2DP Toggle which works perfectly (especially in conjunction with QuickMenu, and not using the Today plugin which crowds out the screen).
However, in the process when I now install new cabs, I get the alternative to install to device, memory card or Bluetooth, instead of just the first two. When I look at my files with Total Commander, I can see a Bluetooth folder on my device, but with the same symbol as the memory card. This folder is empty, but I cannot delete it. Can anyone tell me where it comes from, and how I can delete it?

This appears when you enable Bluetooth Explorer. As far as I know there is no way to disable it without disabling BT Explorer.
Andy
Thanks, Andy. You are right. I did not switch on Bluetooth Explorer (must have been my son the other day when he used my phone to download e-mail on his computer while we were driving down the autostrada and changed the Bluetooth settings). Now everything is back to normal.
I cant get bluetooth explorer to work.
Whenever i tick the check box to enable bluetooth explorer in settings, once i click ok it does not save it and the box is unticked when i open up bluetooth settings again.
Anyone else have this problem?
Any ideas?
I try to fix:
****FIXED*****
Now the Problem just happen to hit me when my bluetooth explorer wasn't working on my Touch pro. From the stock rom it worked fine, then I applied some tweaks, and it stopped.. So I starting searching.. I have came up with no Fixes, so I was retracing my steps..
What had happened was I had set my File System Cache to 131072 from the registry. I never noticed it, till I fired up Advanced Config, and Noticed that when I clicked on the list of sizes, 8M was the higest, I thought that was strange, so I set it to 8M in advanced config, Soft Reset, and now my Bluetooth Explorer is working just fine..
So, recap..
Make sure your FILE SYSTEM CACHE is set to 8M Or just not some Huge Number, My FILE SYSTEM FILTER CACHE IS SET TO 131072
Notice where I got the mixup I set the wrong values.. Hope this can help some people out..
For those who don't know what the Bluetooth Explorer is, Its quite simple, You need to enable FTP Sharing on your Device such as your computer.. Then open the FTP Explorer on your phone, it will list the bluetooth devices it finds, once it does click the device, and walla all the files that are on the device(computer) folder you setup now show on your phone..
If anyone has any questions about this or needs help fixing it, just PM me.

I use mighty rom, window mobile 6.5
I had no issues when I was using WinXP and a Tilt, I could just pair the laptop and Tilt and transfer files back and forth.
I am now on a new Dell laptop w/ Vista (and Dell Wireless 360 Bluetooth module) and after pairing w/ my Fuze, I cannot transfer files in either direction.
Any thoughts????
Hi, I have your exact same setup and just got BT exporer working.
Things to check are:
1. go to settings under "communications manager " and select Bluetooth
2. add your laptop as new device
3. under mode, make sure "make this device visible.." is checked
4, under FTP, make sure "enable BT explorer" and "enable file sharing" are checked.
On your laptop I used the "Bluetooth Information Exchanger\File Transfer\Shared Folder" to transfer files and I got it to work.
It isn't easy to setup but it does work.
Cheers,
Connor
did you try this from the same thread?
