Hi, I am trying to pair my new Go 520 with my Sony Xperia XA via the MyDrive app. When I tap the "Scan Code" button, it says "An error occurred. Please try again later." This is not helpful. Please, what is the error and how can I fix it? Just telling me to pair the devices via bluetooth is not good enough - the whole point of buying this model was to get the traffic updates. As far as I can tell, my phone has bluetooth v4.1, which should be good enough to do the job, so therefore is the app bugged? Please help!

Thanks, but not very helpful as I didn't even get as far as scanning/pairing. The app failed to activate my camera. I'm not sure if there's some weird hidden setting on my phone preventing the app from this (other QR code scanning apps on the phone work perfectly) or whether the app is just poorly coded and doesn't like Sony?? I will try calling the UK support number when I have enough time in my life to waste, or reset my phone to factory settings (last resort).0

Hi Igzilla,
Thanks for coming back!
One reason for this could be that the app doesn't have permission to access your camera. You could check this at Application Manager - MyDrive - Permissions. Camera is the first one listed there. Alternatively, you can re-install the app and get prompted to give the permissions anew.
Should this not help you get this sorted, please do indeed contact Customer Service. They'll be able to get to the bottom of your issue and help you get it sorted.

Thanks. I have looked and the Camera permission is enabled. Disabling it and trying the app, I get the message "Please go into the MyDrive app settings in your phone settings and enable Camera in your app permissions. Then try again." All well and good. I re-enable the Camera, but get "An error occurred. Please try again later." I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app several times. I have now called Customer Service and they have escalated to 2nd line support, so fingers crossed they can help. It is clearly some obscure setting on the phone that is at issue, not the app, as I have tried the app on my partners Samsung and my old HTC Desire (unfortunately the battery is kaput on this phone so I just can't use it) and the app works fine.0
