bluetooth/BT-48 GPS/Ipaq-problem: no GPS found

Hi,

I'm breaking my head on this one for two days now...

I bought an Ipaq/Alturion gps-set a few months ago. This worked like a dream!

Until last week someone found it neccessary to break into my car and steal my bluetooth GPS-receiver (it was the only thing he took, why why why !!!). This week I bought myself a new GPS receiver : A sanav BT-48 (bluetooth)

Now I can't install the damn thing...Here are my steps, i'll try to give as many details as possible:

- Turn the GPS-receiver on and wait until the blue light fixes (implying that the GPS-signal is received well).

- Bluetooth(PDA) : Turn on

- In Bluetooth manager: tap "new"

- "Explore a bluetooth device"

- Double-tap on the icon "SANAV BTGPS_142.1"

- Select "SPP" and tap next

- Finish

- Shortcut is now created

- In the "bluetooth - My shortcuts" menu double-tap the "SANAV BTGPS_142.1:spp" Icon

- The shortcut is now connected

- Stilll in the "bluetooth - My shortcuts" menu, tap tools > Paired devices > ADD

- Device : Browse to " SANAV BTGPS_142"

- Passkey : 6666 (according to manual)

I must have completed these steps x 100 the past few days, and every time i tried it replied 'Authentification failed' when submitting the passkey.
Then, when i gave it one last shot they finally paired!!! Verry strange since i didn't do anything different then the 100 times before.

I opened Alturion: no GPS found appears on the bottom of the screen.
This is the configuration i found in GPS settings:

Custom
com port COM 8
Modify advanced settings on
baud rate:57600
parity: none
data bits: 8
stop bits: 1

i also tried the wizard for autodetection:always crashes on the second block (+-2min)

is there anyone who has had the same problems or who knows anything about this that could help me out?

Thanks in advance!
