That's fine if you don't have the traffic system power lead attached. Like you I have mine hard wired but I have fitted a short fly lead between the micro input on the Start 60 and the trafficower lead. I can then pull the lead out through a small hole in the dash behind the rubber tray and then connect the normal mini to USB laptop lead. still a pain though particularly when it takes forever to update everything. I will try clearing the cache next time before I update hoping that this will speed things up. Ralph

I have two, both look genuine neither of them work, eBay so say no more, I went and fitted a roof mounted shark fin aerial and spliced it into the aerial on the pod but still nothing.

That is annoying. I really did have to think hard before I spent the money on Amazon to source it. It was not cheap compared to EBay, and I have risked Ebay on things before. As you say, it is probably not a necessary item for you these days, but I wanted you to know that the genuine article works ok. Never tell me the odds. |
