Whats with the fuel card is it something in the box you can use at a major fuel chain or is it just markleting hype where you have to send off and register and maybe in 6 months get something!!!

Answers appreciated before card is swiped thru the till

It's the 2nd. You have to find a secret number printed on the inside of the cardboard sleeve that the box is wrapped in. You then need to log this key on a website between 30 and 60 days from purchase. You then need to go fill up you car and send the receipt together with a print-out from the website in. Or at least that is how I understand it. Far from straight forward... but hey, for £50 one can survive having to do things the slightly long-winded way.

Of course, there's a risk that the website doesn't work. But naah, after all, it's TomTom, and they always test things well!

According to others here, you register on the site, they send you a £50 fuel card which you use at your pleasure. There may be restrictions on which pumps you can use and you do have to register 30 - 60 days after purchase but it's a genuine offer.

Cheers Guys.

Appreciate the info on the fuel card.

Any news on the maps. Are they the standard V810 the same as the last update for the x30 series?

The maps may well be from the same data set but they contain the additional data for the revised IQ Routes (day/ hour rather than weekday/ weekend) - Mike

You will also need the other four digits of the map so IQ2 needs v810.1934 - Mike

I hadn't even noticed a fuel card promotion was included when I bought it. Makes it that little bit cheaper. Hopefully get a little for my old TT One as well.
