Sounds like the Midland PMR is set to the correct frequency but not the correct CTCSS privacy tone.

Did the Kenwood come with it's handbook? There's a table in there of the settings for each of the preprogrammed channels. This states both PMR frequency and CTCSS frequency. The Midland may just have numbers for the CTCSS tones, in which case try cycling through these until you hit the right one.

As to Bluetooth connection between sat nav and dongle, I assume that you have followed the pairing procedure.

Don't know the 'flavour' of Bluetooth each uses, though the dongle should handle both A2DP and the earlier mono BT. I have a 765T Nuvi that pairs up with my Autocom 1273 dongle, this dongle is the earlier version and the 765 A2DP.

You will probably be only able to connect one device at a time to both the Nuvi or the dongle. This means you'll need to make a choice between having phone or sat nav hooked up. Despite my 765 having two BT channels, one for phone and another for headset it wouldn't connect them internally to pass through to the Autocom. I now have a Zumo 660 which does do this.

Coming to think of it; does your Nuvi have BT for connecting a phone for hands free or for connecting to a headset/BT built into car audio system,. Check the manual or YouTube for video demonstrations. If it's for hands free phone connection using the Nuvi mic and speaker then it might be a complete non starter.

TBH, and sorry to say, but I think you've left it a little late to sort this out before you trip.
