Hands free no option

[walford58]

Hi
I've just upgraded to a Go Exclusive from a Go 5000 so it requires a smartphone connection.
Because it's a bluetooth tether, it appears that no other device can connect to the smartphone at the same time, so my bluetooth headset can't be used.
OK, so maybe the handsfree calling facility on the Go could work?
Nowhere to be seen, and following the video instructions with/without the MyDrive app on Android don't help (MyDrive doesn't connect to the device directly because there's no QR code generated on my Exclusive).

And irritatingly, the tethering stays even when the Exclusive is out of range, so to connect any other device (computer, headset, earbuds, smartwatch etc) I have to manually turn it off on the phone.

Anyone else have this problem, or am I unique in being able to break electronic devices by trying to use them for their normal purpose?

Hi
GO Exclusive does not have a hands-free function and it is not possible to connect it to a headset.

Once connected via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi you can only have real-time traffic information and radar alerts.

OK, thanks
I'll arrange for a return then, as it's a bit of a cut-down version.
