TomTom Installation Help

Gizmo · 08-06-2005, 12:27

So I've had my Fabia 3 months and still haven't got round to installing TomTom in it yet. I've got the proper TomTom car kit with the coiled power cable so connecting it to the cigarette lighter in the Fabia is a bit of a pain. The only options I've come up with so far are making a straight power cable or fixing some sort of hook by the ashtray so prevent the cable taking the route of least resistance and getting in the way.

How have other people connected theirs in and has anybody got any suggestions?

I got my soldering iron out and replaced the socket on my cradle with a long wire which gets tucked under the centre console trim and approaches the power socket from the rear.
