Hey there gang,
New to the forums, been scanning around for a while now in preparation for my purchase and I just received my CF-19CHBCXBM (Windows XP) from an eBay seller and now I'm trying to get things set-up to my liking.
I love this thing except that I am having issues identifying my Bluetooth and GPS 'settings' if you will. To be honest I am not 100% certain that both these features are present on my Toughbook and am only going off of the model number and the item description. I did, however, find a setting in the Setup Utility and enabled GPS and there does appear to be an antenna bump on the right side of the toughbook. No bluetooth option apparent.
I have scanned the forums as well as the panasonic driver and support website but did not find any driver that seems to pertain to either device nor do I see any options or setting in the taskbar.
Help?
Thanks very much!

You will not find the bluetooth drivers on any normal driver download site
Here is the link for the bluetooth drivers that I uploaded for another member on Robs Network

To check if your gps works
Download and run this application
It will probably be on com 3 or com 4 4800baud

Thanks for the response Tomcat,
The bluetooth drivers would not install because it could not detect any BT device, so I guess I am to assume that the capability was removed by previous owner? WinFast Nav also detected no GPS, I had earlier used a program called Simple GPS Tester to detect any hardware and it came up with nothing but suggested installing the drivers first.
The Setup Utility does seem to detect a GPS though... :S
I'll contact the seller for more information as well. -
Look in the bios then
See if gps or bluetooth are listed

BIOS lists GPS, no bluetooth. Tried changing between 'Auto' and 'Enable' to no effect.
Are there any driver updates that might remedy the problem?

GPS seems to be working now. Still no luck with bluetooth though...
