BU353 and CF

Okay, before you all jump on me, i've searched this topic relentlessly for several weeks, so many times i've almost run out of my trial edition of CF2.0 without having found a solution that is suitable.

Ive had so many issues with the BU-353 i really dont understand how anybody has had a clean sheet with this one! I run my car pc from a laptop and it runs brilliantly, no hickups from centrafuse whatsoever apart from this bloody navigation! It just seems to run whenever it wants to, no direct reproducable concern, i can't replicate when it wants to work and when it doesnt, but its definately more not working than is. I've tried hybernating from windows and from centrafuse iteslf, sometimes it comes out and works, sometimes it doesnt. I've had perfect compatibility with other software, such as sygic. I'm rather gutted as i'd love it all to work :/

I currenty run it at 9600 on com1, gps info finds satelites without a hitch, and rather quickly! I have set the com to 1 from device manager, the baud rate is also set to this. I've searched and tried everysingle thread/idea about this and it still only seems to work completely randomly! The settings within CF-advanced are set correctly, i've tried the devcon method of disabling/enabling with a batch pid script. I've used sirfdemo to sync, tried with sirf and with nmea, upping and lowering the baud. This problem is the only thing stopping me from purchasing this nice piece of code! If i could overcome it i would sign up and you'd have my cash tomorrow.
