Hands free performance has always been poor on these with it routed to just the passenger side speaker. I was forever having to use a flash tool to repair corrupted files and there was compatibility issues with a range of different phones. I have a modern TomTom with Live traffic which I bring with me on longer journeys, I had an old TomTom model like this (but not integrated) a few years ago which worked in a similar way to the TomTom Toyota II, it was equally awful and glitchy. I suspect that the iPhone and unit are permanently incompatible. Tested a Windows phone as an alternative and it worked fine, if fairly quiet volume wise though. I've found that the iPhone5 receives calls but no sound on answering, rings through the door speaker but silence when answered.

There are a lot of engineers who would be happy (and capable) to solve this.

If they acknowledge that it is an old device and that there won't be any support on it and make the whole thing opensource. What would be a good solution for TomTom. it's on the limit but to be a good company: Just fix it ! Can't be that hard because it works more or less with some (irritating and dangerous) workarounds.

If you can't follow your out.īut the connectivity problem doesn't seems to be restricted to Apple branded products thus TomTom on the other hand has to maintain there products to be compatible for at least 5 years, in this case. The just go with the/their flow and only use the newest standards. In my experience Apple doesn't do sh*t for it's customers if it doesn't fit in their strategy. Who's to blame ? Apple of course they did something in IOS that broke is. Bought it new in 2011 and I had never any problems until IOS 10. Tanks for the reply, my car is a 2011 Aspiration Red Navigator.
