Obviously someone at LR has been reading this site and is out to maintain sales of their ludicrously expensive model! |

LR have just e-mailed me to suggest I buy their new satnav discs for £169.00!

I have just fitted the TT Start 60 in the FL replacing my Garmin 1490. The work done by Parallax, Kitchener and others has made it a doddle of a job. Many thanks guys it was simple when I followed your instructions including putting the Landrover screen on startup and shut down.

Not sure about the XL but my Via Live tomTom has the option to power up and down automatically when connected/disconnected. Although mine not permanently mounted I have this option enabled which I find very useful. (Coming) 2016 RR Evoque td4 180 HSE Dynamc (Going) 2013 TD4 GS Auto - Santorini Black with black leather. Cold Climate, UK Lighting & Armrest Packs. Privacy Glass. LR Rubber Mats. Full size spare. 60 000 miles averaging 35mpg (Gone) 2010 TD4 Manual GS - Stornoway Grey. Sold at 3yrs old & 64k miles. Final average consumption 39.2mpg. |

I have now connected the Traffic Management accessory to the Start 60 and because the Satnav is basically a permanent fixture now I have had to make some mods to the connections.

It's a cracking upgrade, I have ordered a TMC lead for it but heard mixed reviews, might have to connect an external aerial for it? I will post how I get on. |

Just a small warning - I've found the TomTom to be a bit temperamental (well, it's dirt cheap). There are errors on the maps, the speed camera warnings are a bit hit and miss (doesn't seem to cover the A1 south of the A14, for example, or parts of the A20)and I have had to remove the dash a couple of times to start it up - it doesn't like to start if the battery goes flat, and you have to press and hold the on/off switch. Note also that if you switch the ignition on, then off again before the device has completely powered up, it doesn't switch itself off.

The TMC works perfectly OK as long as with the USB micro to mini adaptor you ensure that the TMC sits at the top just below the covering fret.

I have been running my Start for a while now using a TMC receiver and am quite pleased with it. I have not had any reception problems but I did install the lead so the inline box (antenna?) was under the central speaker grille thinking it may help it along. I view the TMC as a nice add-on, cheap to get and without any subscription costs. It has proven useful on several occasions and the user interface is very neat.
