Go 940 Live Active Car Dock

Can anyone provide a link to where I can buy one of these, looking to minimise the wear when swapping between two cars. All the links I have followed show the product as "Discontinued".
Else, with all the expiring 940 and similar machines, where have all the car mounts gone?
Many thanks
John

I wish I had known , I binned the 2 spare ones I had a few weeks ago when I gave my tomtoms away . You might be better looking for a complete broken tomtom x40/x50 on eBay , just for the record I got mine off tomtom free of charge , I did it for my 940 & 950 just emailed them and said that my mount kept falling of the windscreen whilst I was driving and they sent me a new one out .

Thanks for the info...will keep an eye out but even Ebay seems "low in stock" as it were.

Even old reliable Buybits is out of stock. One alternative might be to put the satnav in a RAM cradle with a quick release attachment, then just have a mount in each car. That would allow quick transfers, but RAM mounts are sturdy and comparatively bulky.

Ouch £71.21+ £18 p&p just for that mount .
You can buy a second hand Go750 or Go950 from eBay for around £80 including mount and cable at least you would have a satnav for both cars .

Asda direct was knocking the same x40/x50 active tmc mount out for £35 when that first came out, just shows how the lack of them and the demand have pushed the price through the roof , only wished i had bought a van load from Asda .
If it's just the mount your after then it might be worth throwing a bid on this , it has no power cable but at least you can still buy them.

Thanks gazza70.. not got enough time at moment to keep searching Ebay. Need to set up a search for such events but the description can be so varied.
The issue with the cable (as we all know) is that it is a mini USB, not the more modern micro USB so the cable will need to be moved and plugged in. It is a part solution until I get another cable.

Thanks again.
