I have a TomTom Go 940 with bluetooth.

Can this be connected to the bluetooth phone facility in my Freelander2 so that the instructions will play through the car speakers ?

I've tried to connect it but keep failing and I wonder if it's possible. David Hutchinson

The Bluetooth meant for the Tom Tom pairing with a mobile does not extend to the satnav commands being bluetooth enabled.

Thankyou for the reply.....I don't think that I phrased my question correctly.

What I mean is this.

Can the TomTom be connected via bluetooth so that IT will give ME the instructions through the Freelander speakers ? David Hutchinson

Reading my reply, it doesn't make a lot of sense either.
What I'm trying to say is, even if you could 'pair' it with your Freelander the instructions for navigation is not part of the 'bluetooth' protocol, it's not part of the 'bluetooth' transmission.

There is only one way it might work and that is to pull apart the Tom Tom, extend the speaker wires, put a 'jack' on the end, plug into centre consul 'aux' socket and switch radio to 'Aux' input.

Although you could be kept quite busy changing from CD/Radio to Aux everytime she has a direction announcement to give you.  2002 Honda VFR800

You just don't interrupt her instructions with music, just like a real woman let her rabbit on

Your TomTom will be the handsfree kit for your mobile phone, as in the TT will enable you to answer the phone using its speaker instead of breaking the law by picking up your mobile phone. (or connecting the phone to the car)

What your asking it to do is, broadcast its directions to a bluetooth enabled speaker device, I think you only be able to do this if the tomtom has A2DP (bluetooth streaming) and the radio accepts this which the current FL2 doesn't

though A2DP/bluetooth streaming is current in the evoque/d4 and RRS etc so you can play your tunes from a a2dp enable device (iphone etc) without pluggin it in, even this would then depend on the TT been able to do this

Anyway the simple answer would be No

Well that's a shame.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to send answers and comments.

I just joined this forum last week and I must say that everyone seems to be very helpful and friendly

no problems, most are here to help

I can A2DP in my tractor and pickup (cheap sony cd radio) LR needs to catch up .

Also my very basic nokia ca-rk1? bt kit in another tractor can A2DP but only through its own speaker not through the stereo, that really does sound bad and would even if I owned some good music  At work

What the above message means is beyond me.

I think I'll need the Bletchley Park Enigma code breaking team to decipher it.....lol David Hutchinson

You can get TomTom on an iPhone to send its nav. instructions over bluetooth to the car's speakers. It's dead fiddly and involves starting a music playback and then making a change to the iPhone speaker output. You may have to do this every time you start to use it. Worse is that because of the way things work, the first two or three words are missing from the beginning of very message which is a great nuisance and in a lot of cases renders the whole thing pointless. This was on a Disco 3 with a Kenwood/Garmin unit and may not apply to every setup.
