Help Bluetooth GPS - Paired but not connected

Hi all. I have an old (2003) ALK Co-pilot Bluetooth GPS unit. (This is it >> clicky <<)

I turned on my Bluetooth, and within seconds it showed up as BTGPS 2A6884. I selected it, entered its passkey (0183) and it came up paired but not connected.

This was on 2.3.1 - I have upgraded to 2.3.2 and now 2.3.3 - and am still having the same problem.

I have downloaded Bluetooth GPS from android market and under 2.3.2 managed to get satellite readings (9 visible and in use - phone GPS off) - but no lat/long.

Any ideas? Is it a driver issue or is it because it is old tech?

The reason I want to use it (it worked fine on my N97) is because I have it connected to an external antenna in my car.
 
Update - On 231 BTGPS gave no messages when trying to connect, neither did it get the time. 232 gave no messages but did get the time anyway located and "used" 9 satellites. 233 gives a Cannot connect to service error (or something similar).

I have enabled mock locations.

Is there any way to roll back to 232?
