I have a Tom Tom VIA 1515M and was told by support that a 2UUC.002.02 would work on mine for traffic. Does anyone have any experience using this on their 1515M?

OK, I have found the link to clarify. I discovered that a tom-tom 350 series purchased without traffic, will accept the cable with the traffic module, THEN it has traffic. Discovered this by switching cables with another tom-tom I own. So I bought the new cable with traffic module and it works fine! One thing to check, I see that the newer 5 inch model with Bluetooth and voice etc. looks like the mini usb plug that fits the GPS has a different bend than the one for the 3 12" model. My GUESS is that if the plug fits, it will work!

Bought this for a VIA 1515M after being told by support that's the one to get and it doesn't fit the 1515M

When you connect your tom tom to your computer the tom tom needs to be on it will ask you if you want to connect if that doesn't work go into your settings on your tom tom an find factory reset and do a reset once in a while while driving it will start losing your position an putting you off the interstate do a reset that will fix that problem as we'll I drive a semi an use mine every day of the week in the past 6 months I've put over 50000 miles on mine pretty dependable but setes want me to do some thing illegal so be careful

There must be differences depending on when you buy. I got the unit itself, a window mount bracklet, a USB cable and a car charger cable which also gives live traffic updates. However I would NEVER buy or recommend TomTom. For the past year or more their after sales service sucks, there is none. Go to Garmin. After 15 years with TomTom I changed and it's a welcome relief.Cheers.

I did the update, went smooth. Do you know is there is a comprehensive list of what was fixed/updated?I have some issues driving on a divided highway (Dale Mabry in Tampa) when you go by all the turn lanes between median, the gps tells you to "stay right ahead", every half mile or so, very annoying and not needed. I am already on the road I should be on. Any word on the volume, I have sebring convertible, with the top up it is noisier than the average car, really can't even hear the gps.

I don't think it would be. The TomTom Go Live 820 appears to be a European mode, and this is specifically for TomTom XL models. It also has a built-in receiver that gets traffic information from certain American stations, so I don't know if that would work anywhere else.

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?

maybe you need traffic receiver. i do not have it and no more information, sorry.

There's a map available showing coverage by area at http://www.navteq.com/rdstraffic/According to the description of this unit on Amazon.com, "NOTE: Model number on the box is 765T because the traffic receiver is included; however, the model number on the device itself is 765 as the "T" in 765T refers to the additional component "

Yes, it works. You have to be careful to order the right type of connector. The correct connector is the mini usb, NOT the microusb. Actually what you get is an adapter cable that connects to the microusb and terminates in the miniusb, the correct connector for the 1605. I had called up Tom Tom to ask them if it would work. They explained the only difference between the models 1605m (Maps) and 1605t (traffic) is the inclusion of the traffic cable in the box. It works very well here in SoCal. I travel into LA, Hollywood, West LA quite often and it does work. I live about 20 miles east of downtown LA and have a metro express box (toll).You can travel alone in the HOV with this box. The GPS asks me first do I wish to use Toll road, then it will ask if I use Car Pool and map accordingly. I have had Garmins for years and I do like the Tom Tom better. Hope this helps.

Same thing. Unpacked my 255W and ran the updater and it just died. Software System Missing. What a piece of crap... I plan on taking it back to SAMs and buying a Tom Tom.

J. Chan has the same question I have. TomTom has a 340TM LIVE unit, but I cannot determine if the Lifetime Traffic service is Lifetime LIVE Traffic Service or a Lifetime RDS service subscription.

I don't know. The GTM 25 works with traffic. If you just need a charger, I would use google for your Garmin model and look for accessories.

Hi Sam, the TomTom HOME software reports that "Live" services (i.e. through a cellphone-like connection) are not supported by my 340TM unit. My understanding is that 340TM unit has an RDS service but not the "Live" services, i.e. the 340TM does not have the Google search, gas prices, etc. accessible when on the road.

Sounds like a good idea. I found another link that compares Tom Tom with Nuvi 350.. http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=67083 just in case you're still reading them up. Good luck with your Tom Tom!

Robert, I am not familiar with the TomTom VIA 1605. I have a VIA unit though and this Trafic receiver fits mine and has an additional plug that can fit as an adapter for a smaller micro connector into the VIA so my guess is yes your 1605 will work with this receiver.
