Any idea when Carcomm will be releasing the CNM-168 (the one that has the TMC AND audio pass-through connections)? It may take Carcomm awh ... |

| There's a simple solution to the wires. Drill a hole or holes in an inconspicuous location on your dash. Then route the wires through the holes. I added a hidden 12V DC outlet in the driver side gl ... |

When I said integrate, I meant having the GPS unit plugged into the car's head unit via the GPS unit's cradle (to route the GPS unit's audio to the car's speakers).
With the new mount on these TomT ... |

It's a curved surface and adhesive disks don't stick well on it. I tried doing that with the adhesive disc that came with my Garmin and it just kept coming off.
I guess I could just use self-tappi ... |

Yup. I'm aware that they're on the 940's mount.
I wish someone made an adapter with a TomTom sized mounting ball on one side and a socket for a Garmin sized mounting ball on the other side. |

What connections are on the mount?
I'm assuming one is for power, one is for the accessory port (iPod cable, TMC antenna, etc.), and the last one is and audio out / headphone jack? |

Just another small udpate. Looks like Carcomm is developing separate mounts for the new GO x30 models:

Just a little update.
Carcomm has a new version under development that also has the audio out pass-through:

Brodit have just contacted me to say the version with a clamp for the TMC antenna has now been designed and a sample is on its way to me.
