Understood Andy...but do we know if TomTom do intend to release version 9 for the x40 at all? |

Does anyone have a clue as to whether Navcore 9 would work on an x20?

There are ways of getting it to work fine, you just need to know where to find the answers .............
Beware of the bootloader though. |

You and I may know that...
I was trying to state the situation as many people do NOT want to meddle with un-approved versions, and the situation was getting unclear. |

True, hence why I have posted in another thread about the dangers of using x50 Navcores on other devices.
If you aren't prepared to risk turning your device in to a brick then don't meddle is my advice - should have made that clear I suppose. |

I hope the XL LIVE update is released before then - it is advertised heavily on the TT site as the flagship ONE model, yet the ONE IQ Routes devices have had Navcore 9 released for a week now.
Seems odd that the XL LIVE Navcore 9 hasn't been released yet.
Or am I just biased / impatient  |

How disappointing - why bother calling it Navcore 9 if it still looks like Navcore 8??????? |
Minus the GPS signal strength meter?!!!  |

Greedy - I haven't even been offered 8.419 yet (by TomTom, that is). Maybe I'm lucky and Navcore 9 will come to me direct AND complete with TTS?

If you are still running the version of 8.417 I think you are then HOME won't offer you the upgrade.
I had to remove the LoquendoTTS folder and revert a couple of files (I think you know which ones) back to the original versions and then magically HOME offered me 8.419

I haven 't heard that 8.419 offers me any more than I've already got on my vintage 8.417 with you-know-what! So I'll sit back and wait for Navcore 9 with TTS.

| As soon as Navcore 9 for the XL LIVE with TTS is available I am sure someone will let you know |

TomTom have released in some countries 9.022 software for the xl2009-plus and the xl2009-plus-tts and for the same One models. As I am not familiar with these models I have no ideas on compatibility.

Depends I suppose what the "plus" means..
In the UK, the v9 software has been released for the 'ONE IQ Routes' and 'XL IQ Routes', but not the LIVE models. |

Coz they're still engineering TTS and v9 postcodes into the Live models.

AFAIK the plus is not the same as the LIVE.
I have tried these and wouldn't recommend them to any XL LIVE owner.
To be honest, Nav 9 is a waste of time until the HD Traffic problems are sorted out anyway - too much toggling of flight mode to force a connection ..... |
