BRODIT ITEM 215470 active mount for TomTom 1005

LesP2008

I have just received my mount from DSLDevelopments and whilst i am happy with the item it is not BRODIT at all but merely a TomTom item marked TomTom and in a TomTom box.
I have had to wait for these to arrive from Sweden and paid the DSL price when i could have ordered from Tom Tom at a cheaper price and probably recieved it sooner.
Anybody contemplating ordering one just bear this in mind the item is not Brodit although you will need the Brodit Proclip to mount it.
Having had my whinge i must say it is a very good mount and is rock solid.

One other option is to use the mount supplied with the device but slightly modify it to fit on the Brodit "Ball" there is some additional information in This Thread, I haven't published the Go-1000/ 1005 mount conversion as yet but I can assure you it works in the same way as all the other conversions published to date.
Whilst this is a cheaper way to mount the 1000/ 1005 on to a Brodit Pro-Clip it won't give you the audio line output socket like you get with the true "Brodit mount" from TomTom, but if all you want is a dash mount its a very viable option worth considering - Mike

I too have noticed this. Where my mount for my 930 had a similar swivel it was a much neater unit. the ball system on the new mount does make it stick out a bit but perhaps im lucky mine is rock solid even when dismounting the unit

The USB connector comes out of the rear of the mount. The mount is L shaped and the conector and audio out fit into the junction on the horizontal and vertical.

I must admit I am none too impressed with the quality!

I paid £32 for mine i think via Amazon.

So let me get this right - this is a method of using the Brodit iphone mount 533091 (cost £20) to convert the existing TT suction mount, instead of the Brodit TT100x mount 215470 (cost £44)?
(I couldn't see any mention of Brodit mounts on the TT site.)

Yes but they are quite different. The more expensive mount has line out on its rear and is a one piece mount with dock connector built-in rather than using the two-part mount supplied with the GO 100x.

If you don't need the line out though, then the cheaper solution does much the same in the end.

And don't forget to factor in the cost of a replacement car charger lead if you go with the Full Brodit mount from TomTom with the line-out connector as that needs a mini-USB style car charger, my method avoids the extra cost of the car charger cable by using the cable supplied with the device - Mike

As I mentioned before I can't find a Brodit mount on the TT site.

However the Brodit 215470 adapter seen on other sites (cheapest I've found is £36) does come with a cigarette lighter charger cable. I'm prolly going for this as it means it's easier to keep the original suction mount intact for use in other cars and the original USB cable for use with the PC.
