930 RDS-TMC docking mounts

[MrDJ]

now im up and running im thinking of getting the RDS-TMC receiver. i would prefer one of the all in one docking mounts http://www.tomtom.com/en_gb/products/accessories/mounts-holders-docks/active-dock-traffic-rds-tmc-with-ipod-support/ but i notice this one does not support the 930
any ideas if there is a all in one mount for the 930 and i just cant find it after much searching.
thanks for all your continued help.

Have a look at Carcomm as they make a few suitable holders, try This One for starters - Mike

[MrDJ]

thanks Mike. that would be perfect but it hasnt got the built in rds-tmc built into the cradle like the one i posted.
just found the original aerial at argos for £31.99 but only 1 left.arghh decissions decissions.

i see theres 2 versions available. original has the oblong box that plugs straight into 930. the other has a rounded box that plugs into ciggy lighter and 930.
is there much difference between them.

There is quite a big difference between the two items:

The one from Argos will work with a 930

The one from Halfords will NOT work with a 930 (well its not intended to work with it, even if you manage to hack it in order to get it working, which is possible there is no way of knowing it will work all the time with the 930)

There is no mount for the x20/ x30 that has a built in RDS receiver, the Carcomm unit I linked to earlier simply lets you connect a receiver to it - Mike

thanks mike,thats what i wanted to hear. shame they dont make a dock with built in rds for all models.

[MrDJ]

just an update.

was just about to purchase an rds-tmc and was asked which one id like??
seems to be 2 model numbers available but he didnt know which was the latest or best for my 930.(dont think he could read as i thought it would say on the box).
9v00.101 or 2v00.017

had a read through this old thread back from 2007 but they are also different numbers http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=56106&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=330

so any ideas the great members of gps world.
thanks
jim

If you are interested I have a brand new totally unopened RDS-TMC reciever Part No.9v00.017 which is the recommended receiver with the circular (not usb) type connector.

The part number in my signature is the tag on the antenna of my usb version, which I believe is the latest version. I recall previous discussions were it was found that the box that the antenna comes in has its own part number, and this is the one that the salesperson seems to be confusing. I got mine by ordering from the amazon website where the picture showed a usb connection......
