Hardwiring the Tomtom bluetooth GPS

[qwiki]

Since Tomtom no longer provide the cradle for their GPS, has anybody come up with a way to power it directly from the vehicles supply?

From what I understand of the cradle, it simply supplied 5v to the 2 connectors in the middle of the GPS covered by the plastic bung. The main advantage of this is that it would switch on/off with the vehicles ignition, so no button to press and therefore could be mounted out of reach on the back shelf or where ever.

So, anybody come up with anything and care to share?

Thanks in advance.
