BT-74R GPS Receiver Not Connecting to N73 — Nokia N71, Nokia N73 and Nokia N75

Hello all,

I bought this GPS receiver from ebay 32 channel Bt-74R type.
The only thing is its not connecting or stablishing connection with my
nokia phone N73. It connects fine with my blue tooth dongle connected
to my PC.

N73 picks it up and I assigned it to auto connect. I can see it in the list and when
I select the device it doesn't give me any options to connect and the gps software
(tomtom 6.01) cant see it.

When I connect N73 with my bluetooth dongle it gives me option to connect and disconnect
but with this it doesnt give me that option. So its just there in the list with out
connected to N73.

Any help?

I don�t now that particular antenna... Try repeat the pairing process. Check if the antenna have the correct Bluetooth protocol as the phone. And least, could be damaged, or not:con?

I managed to get tomtom itself to connect to the gps device. Its working fine now.
I had to manually configure the gps receiver from tomtom settings.
