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

 

Which you can order here: http://www.expansys.nl/p.aspx?i=160989

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.
