Tom Tom (for 750 LIVE) Fixed Mount...

DaveNN

So, I nail the fixed mount (from TT) to my Brodit holder..only to find that when I've finally managed to get the right angled micro USB into the slot..it fouls on the bracket, so preventing the TT to be angled downwards as far as I would like.
So, apart from butchering the mount (by cutting out the bottom right hand corner- near the screw hole) any ideas how I can get around this obviious design flaw?

I remember getting a Brodit mount for my old Go300.
I couldn't work out why there was such an oddly-shaped cutout on the back plate.

Got a picture? How much extra room do you need? A pair of MOVE clips would move the mount a half centimetre further out, would that be enough?

The issue is that some TomTom chargers have the cable exit straight out of the back or the plug, the oriantation is 180 degrees out so the plug doesn't fit the socket due to it fouling on the body of the Brodit Mount.

Easy option is to use a different car charger cable with the cable exiting to the left or right rather than the charger lead you have at the moment - Mike

You must have the mount at quite an angle then to cause it to foul in this way, there are some 90 degree angled addaptors available from e-bay etc that might offer a solution although it will put more of the cable on show - Mike
