Hi, Does anyone know where I can get an external antenna for my TomTom bluetooth receiver?

Thanks.

You should get a re-radiating antenna such as:

This does not require connection the the BT unit so it helps keep it portable.

The re-rediateing antenna looks good, but I would prefer a hardwired solution. Do you know of any?

Thanks.

Why get a wirefree unit then hardwire it, you might have well have bought the hardwired GPS unit?

THere was a discussion on this a while back and someone named an antenna that would fit, but it was not from TomTom. You may be able to find it in a search of this forum.

if you have the tomtom bluetooth cradle, you can hardwire the cradle in the parcel shelf like what i did.

or you can wire a cig lighter plug to hardwire the re-rad.

Post back if you happen to be in the US. I have the distributor info (not handy at the moment) on who carries an external antenna that fits the bluetooth unit. It was a pain to find.

As to why use it? I have my bt unit hard wired in the trunk and the antenna significantly helps in the signal reception.

Yes, I'm located in the USA. A US based company would be great!.

Thanks.
