3.5mm bluetooth headphone receiver

[Pajoe]

The 3.5 mm connector on our Go920 has broken. I suspect from repeated vibration and plugging in and out one or more of the connectors broke loose from the circuit card but I did not try to open the TomTom.

I am hoping to find an inexpensive 3.5mm bluetooth headphone receiver. I have seen a video on YouTube that shows one that apparently works with the TomTom but I live in USA so it would be easier to buy from a store shipping in USA. I found more expensive models but hoping to find a less expensive model preferably less than $25.00, more importantly, I prefer to know it works with the TomTom go920 before I buy it.

Prior to this idea, I purchased a refurbished 730 to replace the 920 on the motorcycle, and planned to use the 920 in the car only - but if I can get the 920 working again with our intercom, I will put it back on the motorcycle, and give my wife the 730 for her car.


thank you in advance, just in case I can't respond to any posts as quickly and often as I should

I would say if the device is bluetooth, any bluetooth receiver will sync. I used to sync my rider to my Jabra headset. I purchased a bluetooth speaker at one point, but it wasn't fast enough to connect so I was losing part of the text each time. I don't have that specific device so I can't help there.

One of these days I should try to sync my car to it and see if that works. Hey, thanks for the idea!!!

There are many different protocols in use with Bluetooth, in order to use the Audio output feature of the TomTom the speaker/ amp must support A2DP (Stereo audio over Bluetooth) if the speaker/ earphone etc doesn't have A2DP it won't work - Mike

thanks, Ill keep in mind it needs A2DP

***************** on edit: ********

adding the A2DP to the search made the difference, it kinda looks like the one in the youtube video.
