Instructions

Fitting the TomTom Unit

Go to the speaker looking panel on the dash above the cubby - using a plastic lever (or a covered/protected wide flat blade screwdriver - so you don't mark the interior) - start at the top (near the windscreen) just off centre and carefully lever the panel up (there is a clip top dead centre) - then work your way gently either side (the are two more clips - one either side about half way down).

Once all three clips are popped then the panel will lift off - move it up and slightly towards the windscreen to remove. 



Next remove the daft little bobbly rubber tray below the cubby.

Put your fingernail down the top lip of it slightly off centre and lever it forward. Then gently pull it up from the top whilst pushing it slightly back. 



You can now see six Torx screws - four at the top and two behind where the bobbly panel was - remove them all using T20 screwdriver.



Take hold of the top of the cubby/radio surround panel and start to ease it forward. It is a fairly big panel, one piece that goes all the way down to the the terrain response knob area but pops off fairly easily with just a bit of pulling pressure. Once the four or so clips have released then the panel will come free.

Reach behind it and disconnect the multiplug behind the hazard switch area. The panel and cubby are now free to remove from the dash.

Lay the panel face down, fitted the double sided tape around the old cubby opening, then pressed on the TomTom and connected its USB lead. 



Refitting the Trim Panel

Offer panel back up, reconnect multiplug, push panel back into place so all clips click.

Route USB cable through to glovebox and (in my case) connect to iPod kit USB port.

Refit Torx screws (only four because cubby is not going back in).

Pop bobbly rubber shelf back on. Then tuck in/press top panel back on until all three clips click in.


Fitting the Electrics

This is fitted in position F5 which is ignition switched, make sure the blade is the right way round, so that in the event of a fault it will blow.

It also can be removed quickly and has not broken into any wiring or upset any potential warranty claim.

The earth was taken by placing a crimped ring on the negative wire and bolted to a chassis point behind the glove box. 

On the other end of this lead is a flying cigar lighter type socket, Maplin have them, this is shown in the Picture with the TomTom USB charger inserted and the nav plugged in, this allows a laptop to be connected for updates to the Nav.

A surface mount socket can be fixed in place to get rid of the flying leads.

Great Post on fitting the TT60 - I fitted my TT60 about 6 months ago as per the instructions. I like many, have had issues with the unit not starting due to battery being low in the unit having not used the car for a while.

I was removing the centre speaker cover and removing fascia to allow access to the unit to switch it back on, then realized that all I needed to do was remove the daft little bobbly rubber tray below the cubby and able to get my pinky through the left fixing hole behind the rubber tray and switch the unit on or off at will. This also allows you to hold the button for 10 sec to totally switch off the unit or re-boot when required.

Apologize if this has been stated before, hope this helps, certainly helped me.

Anyone can help me with putting a black background on the LR Logo splash screen as shown above , managed to download and resize the std white background one and import to Start 60 but would prefer the black one .

Bit lost , new technology old user

Why not just download the one that's already got a black background on it?

Ha Ha like I said old user , thanks just done it

All I have been reading this post for the two weeks we have had our freelander 2, but I really don t want to tackle this myself (I'm rubbish!) I live near standard, bishops stortford, anyone know anyone who would fit?

I would love to do this in my car if only my 2013 didn't have the (horrible) display for the radio in that space.
I can't really see how to get around the problem either.

To facilitate this is your 60 fitted showing the TomTom logo on the top right of case as opposed to bottom left as some have fitted as per pics above ? , or does it matter ?

Thanks

Julian

The Logo needs to be top right and you will be able to reach the button with a finger through the palm rest holes, you will need small fingers though.

Mine is the other way round and I can't reach the button

This Pic is of mine, you can see the logo (blacked out) in the lower left corner, yours needs to be the opposite way round

Thanks taz much appreciated

You'll love it when its fitted, great piece of kit. I have the TMC thing as well but it only ever works in one spot on the M6 Toll and nowhere else?
Make sure it is all updated prior to fitting and stuck in well, you will be pressing the screen a lot so needs to be secure, mine is stuck in with hot melt glue and is very firm

I will make sure the garage is aware of your comments re secure fitting .

I have the TMC and it works in more areas that not, although it doesn't seem to like sections of the A1M.

If you want any tips on how not to mount it then I am your man. It fell out for me more times than i care to mention, but eventually my single brain cell worked out what was wrong. The lack of contact area is the main challenge, which allows the weight of the unit to overload what little adhesion is there.

Not being the practical type I stuck with double sided tape, and the bottom is pretty easy to keep in, but the top edge doesn't provide much area for contact. I layered up the no more nails tape at the top right and left corner which gave it the final tip over the edge to stay in.

All the help on here has been brilliant so thanks to all contributors to this thread.  Never tell me the odds.
