My TT500 is getting a bit tired and its about time I replaced it.

Thinking the 550 Live is a good option.

Just one question I've a Arkon Bean bag mount and just wonder if the style of suction mount the 550 uses is comapatible with the Arkon?

I've just looked at the Arkon Bean bag mount GN112 on YouTube & compared it to the mount on my 550 & would say yes. The sucker base is just under 70mm you can get a full 90 degrees between the mount & the face of the x50 TomTom - If you want a photo of the base pm me

The normal mount for the x50 should be OK as Ian has mentioned, be aware though that the RDS-TMC mount has very restricted movement so that specific mount probably won't be any use.

I appreciate you haven't mentioned the RDS mount but just in case.... - Mike

Thanks for replies guys.

Did wonder if the mount had enough movement to be used with the Arkon.

Well I went and bought a 550 Live today, £149 at Comet which was cheapest price I could find and only £10 more than refurb unit from TT.

Not had chance to open the box yet so I'll be checking the mount situation during the week.
