Unhappy Garmin mobile pc

Hi, everyone I ran in to this problem. I'm trying to set up cf2 and Garmin mobile pc, but somehow to be able to use the GSM module in CF2 I must use the bluesoleil BT software to communicate with my mobile phone. But GMPC won't work without the bluetooth stack from Toshiba. So at the moment i have to choose between either GSM or Garmin, does any of you now a fix for this.

You will need bluetooth for the phone, but why do you want GMPC to connect to the phone?

Some of us are using GMPC with this setup

I don't want GMPC to connect to the phone, i want to use GMPC for navigation and CF to connect to my phone as a handsfree carkit(via bleutooth). As stated GMPC wants the Toshiba software and CF wants the Bleusoleil software but i can't have them both at the same time. So i need a workaround or fix to either use CF with Toshiba BT stack or GMPC with the bleusoleil software.

Now this is from a complete numptie (more money than sense some would say) but why use bt gps why not a usb ive got 4 in my landie and a bt one as back up they are cheap enough?. i have found i can use 2 on a 4 into 1 usb and they work just as well as i use 1 for cf designator as the interface works well, 1 for gmpc as it has better poi ie camera alerts, 1 for off road mapping and 1 for Navigator 8 with poi camera alerts as backup. I also use a bt for my spare nokia 7110 and my nokia 6110 navigator connected to my parrot 3300 gps wich is pants for sattalites but ok for mobile hands free.

Does anyone know if it's possible to start GMPC with a switch to stop having to always agree to the notice at the beginning ?
