Hi

Does anyone know the connections that need to be made to achieve this?

The x10 models are the only ones I never got to play with.
So the windscreen mount doesn't have a USB socket?
In that case, if no-one else can help, you might have to open up your original Home dock (that came with the 910) to see what pins you need to connect to.
Unfortunately, it's possible you might find there is additional circuitry in the Home dock to enable the USB connection, in which case you won't be able to get your project going. |

Thanks for the pointers Andy_P.
I’ve scoured the internet for more info and have come to the following conclusion.
The home dock is just a few simple connections to the TomTom 910 for connecting through the USB.
However when the TomTom 910 is on the windscreen mount the USB I/O is used for controlling additional hardware which is contained in the mount e.g. serial comms for RDS-TMC etc.
So it looks like it’s not possible
Oh well it was worth a bash.

It might be worth having a look through This article for some clues on using Bluetooth then see if you can find any other details on Open TomTom such as This - Mike |

You may want to edit your post to delete the 3rd link since that leads to a site where hacked and stolen software resides. _________________ David |
