TOMTOM GO PICTURES please

ok i have nearly decided on tomtom go but im wondering a few things
what type of mount do you get one that sticks to the window or to the dash?
has any one got pictures of the mount installed with and without go?
also is it powered mount or do you still have to wire in the wires each time?
if any one has it wired in and has some picture that would be good thanks

It's a sturdy suction mount consisting of three parts, with knobs to fasten them. You may have seen the news on the front page that Brodit has a replacement for the two parts that normally connect to the windshield, but re-uses the third part that holds the GO.

Currently only the passive mount is available It does have a power connector in the back, so your GO can be recharged when you snap it in.

But to connect an external antenna, or to link the GO into the car stereo you need an active mount - that one is still under development.

thats great thanks for the picture
i have seen the mount and it looks right up my street
i am looking to instead of mount it to the window mount it to where my dials are in my car do you think without another aerial the unit is good enough to work it will see the window but being behind the steering wheel and under the dials i was wondering how well it will work

thats what im worried about as im after the least wires and bits so the go is ideal on its own
i dont believe this one is heated or uv coated unlike my last which was a pain so i may have to buy go and then try it take it back after a week if it doesnt
thanks for your help
im still stuck between the go and mio 168 so i guess ill keep trying
cheers

I use my Go on the mount on the dashboard, with the suction onto where the dials are so its well hidden but can be seen by me through the steering wheel and my satellites are full strength and it only see's a little of the windscreen (where it sticks out)

I hope this helps your problem... :D
