This sounds like the connector on the TT or the plug on the RDS cable is at fault. If you continually plug and unplug the RDS and do not have the entry angle exactly perpendicular every time this can damage the socket ion the TT and effectively make it loose. I had this happen with a TT TrafficMaster and ended up replacing the on board RDS socket and then no more problems. Alternatively the right angled RDS plug may have a problem ith the cable at the point where it joins the plug. If you move the cable (not the plug - hold this steady with one hand) gently when it is connected to the TT you may see that the connection gets broken. If so then you can replace the plug on the RDS cable for a higher quality metal one. If you have room use a gold plated straight entry plug with cable strain relief rather than a plastic plug without strain relief. If the unit is out of warranty and you are capable of using a fine point soldering iron then you can replace the onboard socket for a higher quality gold plated socket.

    I am experiencing the same problem with my TT Go 930, but now it has stopped connecting entirely. I believe the socket in the TT is at fault. Where can I buy a gold plated socket???

The tomtom device prompts me to connect the traffic receiver.How do I do that

This is for the RDS-TMC antenna.

Plug the end fitting on the antenna into the bottom of the Tom Tom. Plug your normal power cable into the antenna.

If it's working, when you turn it on, you should see a new display, narrow, vertical, on the far-right side of the screen.

CANNOT ACCESS TOM TOM TRAFFIC

If you're using a RDS-TMC, then you don't need to go through Tom Tom Traffic. The traffic bar should show up on the right-hand side of the screen, and you're good to go.

If that bar isn't showing up, here's what to do:

Reset the navigator (use a paperclip in the hole on the bottom of the unit). Plug the RDS-TMC antenna into the navigtor. Plug the car charger cable into the RDS-TMC antenna. Turn on the Tom Tom.

Is there a traffic information bar now?

I have a Tom Tom One T purchased about 7 months ago. It has suddenly stopped receiving Traffic Information. When the RDS -TMC is plugged in my Tom Tom does not detect that it is connected. Can anyone offer...

Try resetting the Tom Tom.

Use a paperclip in the reset hole in the bottom of the navigator. See the manual for more details on resetting.

Often this problem is caused by unplugging from the antenna while the navigator is still turned on.

Unable to get it connected

Is this the RDS-TMC?

Try resetting the navigator (using a paperclip in the reset hole in the bottom of the device). Then plug it in again and see if anything's changed. Remember that the antenna must be connected to power for it to work.

Are you seeing the vertical display on the right-hand side of the screen?

If the thing is constantly searching but never showing traffic updates, it's possible that you don't live in an area that has active RDS-TMC broadcasts.

TomTom GPS

Hi Shadmink.

The Tom Tom 930 actually on sale for $499 on both our website and in our Best Buy™ stores. (In order to see this price on the website you have to click the "See Price in Cart" button on the product page for this GPS on www.BestBuy.com.)

As far as the 930T model, I don't have any specific information about whether we will be carrying that particular model in the future. We are always evaluating our inventory and bringing in new models based on customer demand so it is possible that we may stock that unit as some point in the future.

Best regards,
Ken
