    Hi All,

    Is it possible to be connected to a carkit via bluetooth and a bluetooth GPS receiver? I dont think its possible, and it'll be a pain in the hole if I have to disconnect each!

    It is possible, and its very easy to disconnect them.
    I tried with a Parrot MK6100 and a Bluetooth GPS with an SE K850i.
    The only problem is that the carkit doenst work too well/at all when the GPS is connected, I couldnt hear the navigation commands that the program was telling me on the Phone.
    I tried it before with a wired carkit and bluetooth GPS and that worked great.

    Problem us the Bluetooth GPS taking over too much Bluetooth bandwidth and not allowing the car kit enough

    I'm using a cheap Holox GPS with a Nokia E65, and a Motorola bluetooth earpiece, and I have the opposite problem. When a phone call starts, the phone loses the GPS signal.

    Well I wouldnt mind that once it re-connects to the carkit/earpiece. I just dont want to have to disconnect carkit/gps everytime I want to use either. Ive no problem with it hopping from one to another automatically. I have an e65, with a SE HCB-400, and just got a cheap oul GPS receiver (to use with nokia maps).

    Think you should give it a go, it seems that different setups have different results, so you wont really know how your one works till you try it.
    I got a grand 42 Channel GPS with car charger and plug for 30€ on ebay, so you wont loose too much if it doesnt work exactly.
