RIDER 550 and phone connection

TigerRider

My problem is that I use a DUMB phone on my bike which worked great with my TomTom Rider 2. When I got obsoleted up the a Rider 550 I was expecting to find the same Rider 2 managed phone book but the numpties at TomTom didn't see the point of including it. Most places I get to the data connection is either marginal or nonexistent which is why DUMB phone worked for me. Rider 550 doesn't work for me anymore.

Hi
@TigerRider

If you need a basic Phone and Data Connection you don't need the MyDrive App
Just a Straight Bluetooth Connection see option (2)

On my GO 520
Tap 4Dot (.... Menu) --> Bluetooth
Add Phone
_____________________

Option (1)... Tap (?) Follow the on screen instructions to pair Bluetooth If required install & Sync the MyDrive App on the Phone
Or
Option (2)... (Scroll up to... If your not interested in using the 'MyDrive App' and its features)
Note the next page of info is off the bottom of the screen
Tap Not interested in all of theses features

On Most of my devices (And when using my Windows Phone, no MyDrive App for Windows Phones)

I use Option (2)
______________________

On the iPhone with Bluetooth turned on
Tomtom GO 520 appears under Other devices
Tap the offered Tomtom GO 520
Agree to 'Pair' on both devices
If required Agree to Allow Contacts & Favourites to sync
Tap Done

Edit...
Wi-Fi is definitely TURNED OFF
I am not using the MyDrive App
Just a simple Bluetooth Connection

Live Traffic shows a Connected

My iPhone showing as connected

I am not using the MyDrive App
Therefore 'Smart-Phone Messaging' is unable to connect
Edit... I suppose could set the switch to 'Off'

Live Traffic over Bluetooth
