I fitted a dummy shark fin, looked good, also the small program is called 'gpsfix', speeds up finding the satellites, mine was updated a couple of times a year and worked perfectly even through the heated screen

Now I have LR SatNav, using the WYS speech function means that by the time I have finished talking to it and it has repeated and confirmed everything I say, I am almost there

Yes mine worked fine so long as I updated the gpsfix program (which I found out about on this forum!).
Prior to the TomTom I had a Garmin Nüvi in the cubby hole which never seemed to need updating. Only fitted the TomTom because it looked better. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

Just put my tom tom in and it looks great. One complaint about the instructions I spent ten minutes trying to figure out were the two spare torx screws went when refitting the dash. I always have this problem when stripping something down and putting it back together, you always end up with a handful of screws and springs. Finally worked out they were from the cubby hole now not needed. Thanks for all the info.

I'm fairly sure the screws were mentioned somewhere - but it's quite a long thread now! Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

Hi Same here. I bought mine yesterday and downloaded my drive but no option to customize your sat nav. Emailed tomtom who replied that its not available.

Hi all, this has been such a useful thread, thank you so much - thought I should share experience in return... due to lack of logo option went for old style Start 60, second hand only now, from ebay 50 quid with UK maps. Then updated software and put European camper and caravan maps on it (another 40 pounds, from Tomtom) which also gave me latest speed cameras. Then added a TMC traffic lead for 19 pounds from aliexpress - it was the 4UUC5B (4UUC.001.05B), 5V 1.2A Micro USB Car Charger - and it works very well (in Kent) TMC just placed unfixed in the speaker hole under the cover mesh (do remove sponge from hole). I added logos and landrover icon from earlier posts. Installation was very easy. Best with a small to medium flat blade screwdriver covered with a sock. Just three clips, the left and right ones are quite high up on either side. Once one has popped the others will come. I went for double sided foam (in a roll, £1 from poundland) cut into thin strips round the hole and backed up with cable ties which could be fixed to existing fittings on the moulded plastic surround. Then wedged some sponge/packing foam between the ties and the tomtom to keep it firm. Worked very nicely. Currently I have run the TMC lead out to the existing cigarette lighter for power, still waiting for the new socket and fuse wire to come (few quid from ebay hong kong). So all in 115 quid for built in, latest, European caravan towing gps with speed cameras and traffic info. Brilliant. I haven't had the courage to sand off the tomtom logo yet, thought it might make it look really bad - has anyone successfully done that?
BTW, I have used tomtom products for decades, going back to Psion days. When my last one packed up I used google maps on a phone for a year. Pretty good, especially liked traffic display, but often slow as reliant on internet to find places etc and no good for caravanning abroad. Really nice to be back to user friendly clarity of tomtom, and I've uploaded caravan club poi sites (which you can download from their website if you are a member).
Anyway, just thought it would be good to let you know all you need for installation is still available in July 2015

Just fitted a simple disc to the top side of the Cubby Box and then stuck the Magnetic Holder to it.

Hi
Can some put pictures on how the the electrics go as Ive bought all stuff which I need but dont know how to do electrics. I couldnt see any pics in the galleries if there are any could I be pointed in right directon. Im not very savy at this stuff but will give anything a go.
Thanks

Hello.
i bought a 7'' gps but... it does not turns on and off with the ignition.
It just goes on and off if i press the upper button.
it is not a good gps for a retrofit.
Now, i got to sell it.
If i buy the Tomtom Start 60, does it turns on and off with the ignition, if pluged to fuse n. 5?

Yes if you change the settings in the menu.

Ok, thanks.
Now i need to sell...to buy a new one!

i bought one of those that has Igo8 ans Win CE. it works pretty good!

Hello everyone,

I'm about to apply this mod to my Freelander 2 (2009) that I recently bought.

I do have some questions (and mind me, I'm absolutely not technical or anything):
If I fitted this mod (with help of course), how can I reach the on/off switch when for some reason the TomTom needs a reset? Have you guys applied mods for this aswell or do you open up the cover each time?

Kind regards,
Moonscar

You can reach the power button (just) by removing the little rubber tray beneath the cubbyhole - the tray just lifts out. This reveals a hole through which your little finger can reach the button at the rear of the TomTom. I've only had to do it a couple of times in 18 months.

I just love this site as so much info....I have read this thread 10 times now and......now look what you have done

OK I have ordered a tomtom 60 to add to my FL2, but I will have problems I think even before start as I think the electrics will cause me to have a breakdown They always do.

I think it would be better to have the power source inside the glove box and USB access to the tomtom for updates etc? What do you think?


Would it be better to hot glue the screen in place instead of trying to fix with tape? Hot glue does not get that hot to damage the plastic I dont think.

I also have one of those bluetooth or wired speakers, would this of use with the tomtom?

Thanks for any help you can give. Sorry so many questions.
