 |
|
Hi
I have just bought a TomTom Holder for my PDA.
I tried to install it in my 2003 right hand drive VW Golf, but there doesn't seem to be a straight forward solution.
Can anybody help?
Thanks
Simon |

How do you mean, a straight forward solution??
Do you not just stick it to your windscreen??

| That's what you would have thought! I bought the TomTom kit and if you stick it to the windscreen you'll need binoculars to read the pda! |

Is your Golf a mark IV or V?
If it’s a Mk IV you could use the Brodit 652526 ProClip dashboard mount:
Use the above with an active Brodit mount for your PDA and you’ll have a good solution.
Finally if you use Brodit 213005 Move Clip Mini you can swap mounts and quickly remove the PDA holder for security reasons.
Here’s the Brodit website link.
Regards,
