Ours locks to the window so either your suction cup is defective which could be checked by trying to lock it on a flat window or your windshield is curved or has some kind of coating on it like an antifoging agent.

I thought it was somewhat difficult. Not as easy as my iPhone . But I had put a protective screen on the device which might contribute to the problem. To be honest , I haven't used my GPS for the past year but many people seem to like it. Be sure to read all the reviews. Good Luck

Good to hear that those instructions worked out -- I should be able to figure out what is going on w/ the cut-off speech of the street names.Can you tell me if your TomTom is cutting off only some of the street names, or is this happening with all street names?

My Tom Tom charges from the bottom and I am able to use this dashboard mount with no problem. My Tom Tom has a snap on type adjustable suction cup mount and the charging cord connects below this mount. My only problem is with the Tom Tom Sunction cup! The suction cup bracket would never stick to the windshield or to the plastic mounting disc. I have always used self stick Velcro to mount it to my vehicle even when it was brand new. I currently have a Ford Edge and I purchased this portable dashboard mount because I couldn't find a suitable place for the Velcro. This universal mount works fine for me plus I can remove it easily and tuck it in the seat pocket when not in use.

Haven't tried to update since I just got my GPS. HOWEVER - it gives the wrong directions....When the map clearly shows to turn one direction, the voice prompt says to turn the opposite. Finally, I just turn it off and follow the road signs!!!! Not happy with my TomTom!!!

I've always found the locking part to be tricky...but have always managed to get it to work by doing something like this(best I can recall): place the key in the lock, turn the key to the unlock position, slide the lock onto the bolt (while still having the key in the UNlock position), then release the key from the unlock position and remove the key. Give it a shot and let me know.Barry

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 had the same problem also but I think it was after I made my new Tomtom acct, I should have closed browser and relogged in instead of working off the same page I made my account on. After I logged back in it worked fine. All updated. 2 hrs in all for me.

According to the description it works on a Tom Tom Series One model 130. I am not familiar with the Tom Tom 130 but most GPSs connect to the adapter using either a mini USB or a micro USB connector (most cameras use the same connections) and some may even use a standard USB connector. You'll have to get some tech savvy person (i.e., a teenager) to can look at your GPS and tell you what type of connector it uses. While your at it check you car to see if it has a standard USB connection. You can use that instead of the cigarette lighter. Then look for a cigarette lighter or standard USB to mini or micro USB adapter you need. Alternatively look for the TomTom 130 car adapter.

Because it has no cellphone radio in it. And trust me, I've had tomtom with that capability --- you do not want it. Using your phone to get the data is much more reliable. The old way left you traffic-less way too often.

I based my original review on the unit my friend has. I ordered one based on that. However, when I received mine it won't lock on to satellites and I'm having to return it for repair. I have since read several reviews and they have had the same problem. At this time I wouldn't recommend this unit to anyone.

It must be attached to a smooth surface, like the windshield. If you have a smooth dash it should stick. But if it's a textured dash it won't work. I attached mine to the windshield and it works perfectly! Good luck.

Breath on the suction cup to get it slightly wet, press it hard against your windshield, then rotate the dial to lock it in place.I don't know what red thing your talking about, I don't see red things on it.I hope I was a help to you.

Have you tried using your windshield? I found the adhesive disc to also not work for me. As my phone would fly across the car on sharp turns. But it has stayed intact with the windshield. You can pretty much toss the disc.

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 did not had any luck with this disk adhering to the dash, and only is designed to adhere on the bottom. Although the disk is the same size as the base, it toppled off the top of the disk, also. My Volvo dash is not flat, could be part of the problem. Even bought a 3M velcro to stick disk to the dash, and that did not work with it either. As a result, do not have my TomTom mounted. I even question if these disks are really original. I may have to spend more and go straight to TomTom, not take another chance on Amazon.
