Does anyone know where to buy the latest version but wihout the USB connector, as the I use a Brodit holder that uses the min USB to charge the 720. I need to one with 3.5 jack.

E-Bay is probably your best bet but please take care to select the correct one as there were three different types of the RDS-TMC receiver all with the round plug, I hope the following makes it clearer for you to understand:
The original 4V00.000 with the plastic bubble at the end of the cable
DO NOT GET ONE OF THESE AS THEY ARE HOPELESS
The European 4V00.010 with the plastic bubble near the connector
These are better than the one above but still far from perfect.
The New 4V00.013 with ferrites and straight connector
This is the one you want.
Also if you are purchasing from E-Bay make sure its a European receiver as the ones from the USA don't work in Europe, finally if you want to improve reception even more and remove all the wires strewn across the dash have a read of a guide I wrote in This Thread - Mike |

Mine is the .013 one and has previously been connected to a car aerial but has been reassembled. I can split the egg and desolder the original 'string' aerial ready for you if you want. |
