I am not very practical when it comes to installation of things so I've taken the easy route and paying someone to do it , hopefully they will get it right ( fingers X ) .

Spoke too soon , son went out in car last night and on return said he thought the unit was sposed to fire up on starting the car up ( it hadn't) , so I checked and opened the glove box to see if the power lead had seperated and as I touched it the TomTom started/shut down as intended .
This morning afore wife took car to work I started car up and TomTom remained off , took the rubber palm rest thing below the unit off and attempted to get my little finger through to reboot ( as previous posters advised ) , sadly for me my finger is a little to large and I almost got stuck trying to remove it Crying or Very sad
Going to have another look this weekend and then take it back to garage on Monday if no luck , I made sure the unit was fully charged before taking it to the garage .
I was so pleased driving it away from the installation yesterday as it looked secure and was working fine .

Not sure if it helps and yours may be ok but..............

on mine I had to go into the menu and alter the settings so it turned off when the power was disconnected and back on when the power feed was restored (ignition on). It has been fine ever since Thumbs Up

Yes donny that what I set it to after reading these posts , and it did power up/down on ignition on/off , scratching head Rolling Eyes ,
was thinking of attaching laptop to it when wife returns from work to see if that would help ? but cant find a lead to fit to the usb in the glovebox so need to source one .

Met the missus from work and her little finger was easily inserted Rolling with laughter and she was able to switch on/re boot the TomTom via the hole beneath .
Appeared to switch on/off fine after that , will monitor over the weekend Very Happy

Hi All Very Happy Can anybody recommend anyone in the North East UK who could install this for me? I'm a little nervous printing out the instructions and taking it into a garage as I might get the p*** taken out of me being a girlie Rolling with laughter

Thank you Smile
