TomTom GO XXX World HD Traffic, the perfect active holder
with the use of HD Traffic:

Problem
description: I want a perfect active holder for my TomTom go 930 World HD
Traffic and be able to use the HD traffic option.
If you take a
look at this site: http://www.gpsshop.nl/accessoire/51715/3353/tomtom-go-930-world-hd-traffic.html
you will notice that you can�t use any of the active holders in combination
with �HD Traffic� (at least not without altering them!).
When you buy
the TomTom go 930 World HD Traffic (this is the PND), you will find in the box a:
Desk dock������ ����������������������� Windscreen mount������������������ HD
Traffic�-receiver/car-charger
�����������������������������������
��������������������������������������������������� 
� And other not to this article related items.
So why
shouldn�t we use the default �Desk dock� as a active car holder and use the
default �HD Traffic�-receiver/car-charger� as receiver and connect the two
cables to each other!


For this purpose you can use a �USB Adaptor A (Female) to
mini USB (Female)� from for instance Expansys.nl

So now I have
a perfect active holder (the one that came in the box) and taped it to my dash
with double sided tape (so I can remove it later without leaving marks).

And I am still
able to use TomTom HD Traffic!
Another nice
issue is that I have hidden the �HD Traffic�-receiver/car-charger� beneath the
dashboard and connected it with permanent 12 volt! So no more cable or car
chargers (HD Traffic�-receiver/car-charger) around in the sight of the car
(better against burglars).
This is working
like a charm!
Note:��
�
Vibrations
from the car are the same as via the �Windscreen mount� so that shouldn�t be a
problem, also the bottom of the �Desk dock� is made from rubber which absorbs
vibrations;
�
The
�TomTom go 930 World HD Traffic� remains nice and steady in the holder while
driving, even on rough roads.
�
This
solution also works for the: TomTom GO 520 , GO 520 T, GO 720, GO 720 T, GO
730, GO 730 Traffic, GO 920, GO 920 T, GO 930 Traffic, ONE - 3rd edition, ONE
30 series (new), ONE XL, XL 30 series (new), GO 930 * if a default �Docking
desk� is available.
