Need solutions and advice on various Tytn 2 / TomTom issues

I am so sorry for so many questions but thought it would be better for one thread than multiple ones. Even if you can only help with one problem, I would be very grateful.

1. This is the major problem. I got rid of my Go 720 in favour of this "all in one" solution, and whilst the GPS fix speed is awesom on the Tytn II, one major problem is the volume of the unit. I quite simply cannot hear the voices at all over the stereo. I had no problems with the Go 720. I am presuming I need a mount with a speaker? Would this play the TomTom navigation commands through the speaker? Can anyone recommend a mount for the TytnII with a built in speaker - preferably one that can allow me to use it landscape as well as Portrait. I would like one that would go on the windscreen.

2. I currently use a Parrot Blutooth carkit and its great. Works really well with the Tytn, and it routes the calls through the car stereo, muting the music. If I do get a speaker, would it be at all possible to still use the Parrot for calls, and route the TomTom through a speaker or is that not possible?

3. I have an unlimited data tariff on my contract. Can I use the traffic service I see on my screen under TomTom+ and will it automatically download the latest traffic problems? Do I have to pay for this service, or just use it, and if I just use it how do I know it's working?

4. When I start up TomTom the first time, the sound is automatically muted about 9 out of ten times. I have to go into preferences and enable it twice (the first time it doesn't work) before it actually works. Is there any way around this?

I appreciate I am asking a lot here, but any help would be really appreciated.

I have downloaded the speed camera database and POI database and look forward to trying them out tomorrow Smile

Thanks in advance.

Not 100% sure if its the same for your tytn2 but on my orbit i have to turn the volume up to full on the phone first before starting tt and then once on its very loud.I did notice if the phones volume is low tt stays low even if its set at 100%.

The traffic is charged via gprs so as youve got that inc with your phone contract it wont cost anything extra.

It is worth visiting www.modaco.com for PPC (tytn ii) issues - there is a lot of info on there
