I purchased a Belkin Bluetooth CF that came with an adapter for a laptop, (dont use this bit)
but the CF BT is a F8T020 Type 1.
Installed it into my Dell Axim X5 300Mhz PDA and it will not work, just says it cannot start the Bluetooth radio connection and I should do a soft reset which does not work.
So if you or anybody has any thoughts on this or what I need to do to make it work then please advise
Thanks.

All working, Tried the Belkin Bluetooth CF card again, this time installing onto device rather than SD card previously done to save device memory. It started OK and the bluetooth light on the card started flashing. Used the software, Bluetooth Manager to search for devices and pair the TomTom receiver. Started TomTom on the X5, set GPS to use "TomTom wireless GPS" (the option for bluetooth) and it would not find the receiver. So changed the GPS setting the X5 to "other bluetooth GPS" and it worked. SUCCESS. Now have 2 PDA's and son's Nokia N95 all running TomTom. Just need more of these TomTom Bluetooth GPS receivers now.
