New Go Mounts Available

The answer is probably "no", but would this work with a 730? Looks to be a better mounting solution than the standard sucker...

Its a real shame the rds-tmc version of the mount didn't add an aerial connector onto the clip part of the mount itself next to the other connectors and provide a short aerial. This would have given people the option of connecting into the car aerial and not limited the mount movement

I find even the standard x40 mount doesnt work well on my Saab 9-3 dash with dash disk. Its bearable but the screen is inclined slightly up as the dash is highest near me and falls away towards the screen. The mount just doesnt adjust enough

I'm not clear from the tomtom site if the Fixed Install version has the ipod AND line out connector. I contacted tomtom last week and asked if any of the mounts supported this, they said No.

Only the new windscreen mounts mention ipod/line out connections, but I thought I'd seen a picture showing these on the fixed mount somewhere.

Can anyone confirm? As I'd rather have a fixed mount for my 940.

So you can get 360+ degrees of movement from the mount - in which case I would consider what this rotation is doing, and the aerial wire will snap if you keep turning around which it shouldn't be possible to do - Mike

Yes, that was exactly my point! I mentioned to TT that it was going to snap as soon as I got it, which is maybe why they've modified it now.

Andy

have you used RDS-TMC with the new mount yet, and if so what's reception like? I've just ordered a new 740 live, and had intended to get a USB TMC receiver and hook it up to an external Fm aerial as my previous one.

Whilst I don't mind discussing the new mount in terms of form factor etc the actual performance isn't something that should be compared, those of use with Beta test hardware have no way of knowing if a production version would perform better or worse than the hardware we have.

Eitherway it is easy to connect an external aerial to the mount should you find one necessary - Mike

Probably a stupid question with TomTom, but does anyone know when the RDS mount will be available, I dont want to get a USB version if it's due 'soon'
