|
|
Hi,
I left the screen mount for my One in the hire car in Spain
Ordered a replacement from an online store for £4.99 + P&P (came to about £6.50). The new one seemd a little flimsy compared to the original one and eventually fell apart leaving the rubber sucker on the glass and the One hanging around my feet!
Can anyone suggest a source for decent quality replacement One screen mounts??
I know about the Brodit mounts, but I just want a direct replacement for the original screen mount.

Hmmmmm,
I saw that, but I certainly don't need "another" car charger !!
I have a car usb adapter and a 3 meter usb cable "plumbed" into the car with all the wiring hidden - all I really want is the screen mount, but like you say "sneaky bu**ers"!!
I just wondered if anyone had managed to find a 3rd party supplier that was decent quality??
Thanks for the reply - guess I may have to shell out the cash to TomTom _________________ tomtom one v2 - 7.162

If you search on ebay for TomTom One v2 windscreen mount there are lots of adverts. Some of them look more substantial than the original TomTom version

Where did you get that, please?
I haven't been able to find a male to female "mini" USB extension anywhere! |

eBay - search on:
usb a to mini usb
loads to be found - I got a 3 meter one as it was more than long enough.
also search on:
usb car charger
and you'll find the cigarette adapter.
Should be able to get the adapter and the cable for under a tenner.
good luck

Ahh.. so you aren't extending the lead on the original TT USB charger.
To do that, you need a mini usb plug to mini usb socket (both 5 pin variant), and they are as rare as hen's teeth!
You must be using a different cigar lighter adapter with a large USB socket on it? |
