Which TomTom?

[PDB]

Hi,

My daughter has just bought a new 500 Lounge that has the Tomtom sat nav socket in the top of the dashboard. I can get that Tomtom adapter that holds the sat nav and fits into the socket! but can anyone tell me which model TomTom will fit? My initial investigations suggest the Live 1000, which appears to have been superseded by the Live 1005, which presumably won't fit because it is bigger, or at least the screen is.
Also, what does the Blue&Me facility provide and does it need the Fiat branded TomTom to work?

Thank you,
Paul

Can anyone offer any help?

Has to be a specific one from main dealer I believe. Although I could be wrong.

Not wrong I am afraid, has to be the branded fiat one to give you all the correct interface with blue and me.

It is a 1000 as you suspected, and a 1000 will work and be powered up by the socket, however it will not interface with the car.

So no audio control from wheel, or phone or the rest.....

Sorry ....

Genuine Fiat Blue&Me TomTom 2

Considering i could buy a tomtom sat nav for about £150.00 the fiat satnav seems really expensive, i was tempted to buy one until i found out they are nearly £300.00

You pay the integration... and GPS become cheaper with the time, and Fiat did not adjust the price.

But it is still a lot cheaper thant an german GPS option...

No at a main dealer, can be done DIY but at a cost that's not viable as its not the best of systems anyway.
