How do you get the silicone seal to last? It never sticks for more than 5-10 minutes. Had same problem with prior TomTom generation.

You can apply some pressure as you mount the unit to the windscreen. Cleaning the silicone surface from time to time does help. Or there may be some temperature differences as when you mount the unit and it then gets exposed to sunlight, where the air inside the mount expands.Anyway, even with a secure mounting, it won't stick forever (over a course of several days), so you might have to remount occasionally.I usually detach the unit whenever I have to park the car in the middle of sunlight for extended number of hours. I didn't do so with my previous unit and it bluetooth appeared to stop functioning as I assumed the electronics should have been worn due to excessive heat.

I cleaned my window with rubbing alcohol to get all grease - oils off. Wet my finger to put small amount on suction cup. Press it on and lock. Stays on my window for weeks. If closed car gets really hot the suction cup releases. I just repeat and good to go. Good luck.

I have no idea. I only have a TomTom. You could probably ask the manufacturer.

I have had the same problem. It doesn't seem as though it's waterproof. Once the guts get wet -- history !!! I think I solved the problem by smearing some silicon on the internal parts. It doesn't hurt anything, and it seems to have worked for me. Good Luck, Dj !!!

I had the same results as the DIY Review.. It worked great the first summer, but just weeks after the warrantee ran out, interior seals started 'spurting' and caused unit to lose pressure and cycle on and off. I would say the actual use was about 25 hours. Local repair shop says it's not worth the price to fix it.. (?)KPM

It shouldn't be sticking... I would call the manufacturer. They should be able to tell you how to fix it or send you a replacement part!

I would try another battery.... I have read that batterys can be bad or go bad. Other wise you may have a bad transmitter

You need to use the suction cup mount which came with your TomTom GPS and attach to the round disk in the middle.

Push the round suction part in all the way with your thumbs before you attach it to the tile, mine stays for a very long time, maybe every 2 month or so you have to redo the suction. Hope it works for you! make sure the tile is clean and dry.

Maybe you might open and re- close battery door. It doesn't always close well. I have never seem that message. If that doesn't work, call Garmin. They are very helpful.

To fix mine I just had to smack it against my hand (without the brush head on) on all four sides a few times. I think something may have been pressed against the sensor and causing it to stay on.

Tammy, I figured out after that happened to me was to get the motor running and pour the mixture in using the slot in the top. I haven't had any more trouble with it sticking. It does seem to freeze up quicker than the time it says in the booklet. I scrap it out with a rubber spatula and put it in a container to finish in the freezer. I got a good hint from another web site to put a little acholol ( rum or tequila)in it to keep it from freezing rock hard. Hope this helps

Mine was trying to charge me as well until I activated my lifetime maps. If you have the TOMTOM home downloaded go to tools (at the top left of the page) and down to use latest maps guarantee. This worked for me at least. If that doesn't work for you then I would call the customer service number.

I also had this issue. I called TomTom at 866-486-6866 and had the issue fixed within minutes. Their customer service was excellent.

The dash mount uses an adhesive plate. the TomTom mount itself will then be used to stick onto the plate. Once you decide where to use the plate, it is pretty much permanent. You could buy another mount kit but I think it costs about $29 for the full kit. Or alternatively you could place the GPS on your lap (preferable passenger side) so the driver can focus on driving. Not ideal, but you will still get a signal and be able to use it without a mount.

It does not work well for me when counting laps. Hoping it is a software thing, tomtom has claimed they have an update in the work/soon though, so keeping fingers crossed.

I used it with two different Bluetooth devices, neither of which was your device. You will get NO support from TomTom unless you're using the Cardo device supplied with the GPS (if their still doing that.) I used the Cardo and it was a good unit; however, the batteries are permanently sealed and have to be returned to have them changed. I caution you that TomTom will not repair your unit under any circumstances once it's out of warranty, and some parts are not available in the US.

I'm sorry, but I can't answer that question. It might best be addressed to TomTom itself. All I know is that I got qn updqte this week. To be quite honest with you, though, I don't use the product. The first one I got was defective, the GPS that I got to replace it sent me hundreds of miles out of my way, and I concluded that good old paper maps work better for me. For in-city sites, I use Siri or a free GPS app on my on my iPad. I would say that the TomTom was a waste of money but I will donate it to my son-in-law when he comes back from Afghanistan. Maybe he will be able to use it.
