Im not sure what receiver it is it came with the XDA I thought I should be able to just plug it in and play.I have set the receiver up in the car and powered it up while plugged in to the unit. Do I have to go to programs on XDA to enable it?

if its wired, no, you need to open TomTom goto:

Preferences > Show GPS Status > Configure > Other Cable NMEA GPS > Set the Baud Rate > Select the Com Port...

Try that!

It trys connecting but then says cannot connect.
I then get a box that says the answerering modem has disconnected. to check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap settings.
then I have an option of settings or dismiss.
I think i need to input settings or something??
