Bracket/clip to fix TOMTOM Bluetooth to sunroof?

JohannLondon

Hi I just got myself a TOMTOM Bluetooth GPS. A friend has a different Bluetooth GPS (don’t remember what type) that came with a nice sucker bracket to mount it on the underside of the sunroof. Is there such a thing for the TOMTOM?

Then where does the little thing actually “receive”? Will it work if I stick it upside down to the underside of the sunroof glass? Or is it the little “eyes” behind the little plastic cap between the two power sockets that do the “receiving”?

Placing it on the dashboard the silver finish gets reflected on the windscreen and I see the thing all the time which I don’t like.

I set mine on top of the sunshade between the sunshade and glass. There's a little indentation so it doesn't slide around... obviously each sunroof is different but maybe you can try it

Mine is screwed to the underside of my parcel shelf and it still gets up to 12 satellites in a good area

Thanks guys... "underside" of your parcel shelf!!! Wow! That opens up lots of possibilities then... Do you get a power lead for the GPS straight from a cigarette lighter socket? If so I can just have it running on its own from the socket in my boot? At the moment it needs the TomTom car cradle as an intermediate connection...

My car has a cig lighter in the rear passenger well. I bought a 3way cig lighter extension lead. Chopped the plug off, connected it to the terminals behind the cig lighter. Run the extension under the carpets through the door sills into the boot and have used the ordinary cig lead power connector to power my tomtom

:D Ok I won't mess with the GPS power supply then... the manual says it will last for up to 6 hours anyway so I guess that is more than enough... unless I drive right across Europe!

Thanks for all the tips guys.
