Improving the quality of navigation instructions

About Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP)

This Bluetooth profile defines how multimedia audio can be streamed from one device to another over a Bluetooth connection; it is also known as Bluetooth Audio Streaming.

Switching on A2DP

Tip: To see videos about connecting your headset to your Rider 500/550, see: https://uk.support.tomtom.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/25643/locale/en_GB

If you know or think that your headset has A2DP support on channel 2, then do the following:

  1. From the Main Menu, select Settings.
  2. Select Bluetooth.

  3. Select the name of your headset.
  4. Select Activate A2DP setting.

    The status should change to Connected within one minute.

    If your headset status doesn’t show as Connected after one minute, then it doesn’t have A2DP support on this channel.

If the quality of navigation instructions coming from your TomTom Rider doesn't improve, do the following:

  1. Forget all the Bluetooth pairings on both your phone and your TomTom Rider.
  2. Pair your TomTom Rider to channel 1 on your headset.
  3. Pair your TomTom Rider to your phone.
  4. Finally pair your phone to channel 2 on your headset.
