I had a very similar issue today with my 2750.

To solve I removed all blutooth settings from my PPC, started up the tom tom wizard, went through all the yes's then into bluetooth connection wizard, selected the explore a bluetooth device, found the device then selected the device and connected. By magic all was solved.

In navigator, I had the serial port set to 5.

Hopefully this was some help.

I've got the ame problem on my 4700, been round and round in circles. tried fixes mentioned on pocketgpsworld all to no avail.

Got mine working but not 100% sure how, downloaded leadtech winfast navigator, used comm port 8 and nmea in the setup, asked it to factory reset my gps receiver and bam all sats found, loaded tomtom and selected other bluetooth, baud rate 38400, comm 8 and away it went, had no problems since

Good luck let me know how you get on

How did you get COM port 8 to show up in the TomTom GPS settings screen?
