GPS reciever?? Your best bet is to switch to a USB based reciever. I have no idea why your having BT connection issues without the phone on.

I thought about that but the thing is...I already bought this bt gps and am a little broke at the moment

so, until I raise some $$ for it, I'm trying to make the current setup work

CF only uses the BT for phone, you cannot use BT GPS and phone at the same time. Once CF activates the BT is dedicated to CF. Anything else trying to access the BT will crash or CF will crash. Depending on you BT GPS, you can simply buy a USB cable to convert it to USB GPS. I had the same issue with my BT GPS, so I bought the cable and that was that. I had some issues with GPS reception so I bought a BU-353 which most carpc people use. Its very cheap, but works good as h3ll!

I can not convert it with a cable, it is not supported by the gps device....

and I did manage CF and iGO to use the same bt gps, and phone at the same time, the problem is that if the phone is disabled, the navigation (CF nav and iGO) is a little slow and not so stable...

hope u understood my english
