Installing TOMTOM on a Sony NV-U50

Is it possible to install? i seem to get an 'installation' screen but just stays there.

I also have 5 of these devices to sell, if anyone is interested. Aquired from a Sony BX2 purchase. Warranty and sealed boxes.

I doubt the Sony devices run either Windows CE or Linux (correct me if I am wrong). No chance to port TomTom onto them.

definately a form of windows. Uses activesync, had similar root directory structure to Windows Mobile.

Well, if it is Windows CE then you can try to "deface" it similar to how the Mio C710 is adjusted.

You can send us one of these and we can do the testing ;-)

The only thing about loading TT5 is that you will lose TMC and gain full seven digit postcodes. Not worth it I think.
Have a look at adding speed cameras by Dippy to see how to get back to windows if you must.

Yes, certainly. Want me to PM you my shipping address?
