Can anyone tell me the difference between TMC receivers numbered 4V00.013 and 9V00.017?

Thanks.

Thanks. I'll have to wait until the post arrives to see exactly what I've bought then.

I have just got a tomtom 530 as a replacement (insurance) as my old 520 had a row with some tarmac, my old 520 used the single jack connector which worked on and off occasionally, ive plugged in the new one which uses a mini usb and i cant get a signal at all, any advice would be greatly appreciated Smile

Well, what arrived in this morning's post was a 4V00.013 which matches what I already have, despite the advertiser's description, and was what I actually wanted.

Having read a bit more on this topic, I believe the newer USB version needs the latest operating system software in your TomTom in order to work.

Whilst the newer USB version may be better, this would be a problem for me as I want the older software in order to retain the option to have the TomTom output transmitted to the radio so I can hear it with the roof down.

Perhaps a knowledgeable person can confirm whether this is the case.

8,010 will work with the mini USB style receiver and still provide an FM output irespective of the mp3 player being active - Mike
