Stop! I've just learnt from TomTom support (suprisingly quickly for them) that "We regret that we do not support the hard wiring of the GPS receiver directly to your car power system". Well isn't that useful :x Does anyone know of a reason why this may be a limitation (trickle charge issue etc.) and does anybody know of the best work around - even if it means purchasing a different GPS receiver Rolling Eyes

Its been discussed on these Forums many times before (search under "cradle")

The basic reason is that most bluetooth units are 5V, so you need something to convert the cars 12V to 5V when hardwiring the unit. Cigarette lighter leads have a 5V regulator built in as did the now obsolete TomTom BT cradle.

Many of the better PDA car mounts have a 5V output that you could connect to the bluetooth unit with a suitable cable.
