QUOTE (garyparson @ Sep 27 2006, 18:31)  why couldn't they use the usb slot on the one? My guess is the USB on the ONE is a slave USB slot, and not a master USB slot. Hence, it can only be used to either charge the GO or have the GO *be* controlled (by a computer). The GO cannot control external devices with it. (like eg. a TMC antenna) --------------------

according to the axia website the won't charge you if you swing by to pick your goods up yourself..
axia delivery info edit: nice to see the price dropping, but it's still a long way from the 69 euros charged in germany. which i don't get, i'd guess the prices would be about the same in the uk as in the rest of europe. Post has been edited by Mick Random (Sep 28 2006, 08:41)

QUOTE (lsainsbury @ Sep 27 2006, 17:36) As it's an FM signal I assume it could be placed under the seat and it would still get the signal? What makes you think that? When I've tried an ordinary FM portable radio in cars (or vans actually) without a built-in one, the reception has always been awful unless it is perched on the dashboard. |

Not sure about postage but it's usually not too bad from europe. --------------------

I'm not happy,
Just checked Tomtom's website & it now says available quarter 4 for this TMC receiver. |

After 4 months of waiting I'm starting to become a little hacked off with Tomtom.They are acting like a small backstreet company akin to Del Boy.Its bad enough having to catch the b*****y thing when it falls off the windscreen, i was hoping the cable attached to the tmc receiver would stop it from hitting the floor. I'l have to find another way of suspending it from the roof.I'm beginning to doubt my sanity in purchasing this £500 lemon

1) Does the TomTom RDS TMC receiver work with an Athermic windscreen?
2) If not is it waterproof so it can be fixed externally? 3) Also can the cable be lengthened with a extension cable with a male/female 2.5mm connectors as it is only 120 cm long & will it still work or is there a limit on length of cable? --------------------

How is it that Tomtom still don't have the TMC on sale on their own site. Am I missing something?

Just ordered tmc from ebay Germany with delivery for £59.99p depends on exchange rate. If you go to ebay and ask for tom tom tmc on worldwide selection, it should bring it up. Only has, at last look 38 left out of 50.

If anyone is still interested, the guy who was selling TMC on eBay (thanks Wombat
) is still selling them on his German website at:www.sc-prestige.de I ordered mine yesterday (with the aid of my German neighbour!) and he sent me an e-mail today confirming receipt of my payment and said that I can expect delivery in 3-4 days.  Just got to hope TMC actually works now!! Cheers Paul --------------------
