I have a 910 and connected my friends 520 to my PC to update his software as he doesn't own a computor Confused Home asked to update my account which I did but when I swapped the 520 back to my 910 I was informed that as it wasn't now linked to my account i would have to wait 6 months or connect customer services!! Please can any one tell me how to do this as for the life of me I cannot find any mention on the TomTom web site of customer services.

Hi, I did this a while back in error. I had done it a few times before and not changed the device which is what you should do if only doing a temporary connection.

I contacted customer services, they couldn't help and I had to wait for the 6 months to expire before i could change back to my own device.

I think you can create a new account though, although any PLUS services might be a problem to transfer.

Tom Tom support contacted me today and agreed to reset my account back to the original 910 one, so I'm as happy as Larry Very Happy

I'm giving a laurel, and hardy handshake to the support staff Wink
