in addition from Pocket GPS world a review of the mount

The only issue is the inability to connect to the wired audio jack other than that it looks great. It also looks like you can use a AMPS mount with it.

Check out Pro Clip USA. They have great options for the 920.

I wonder if it would be too hard to DRILL out the additional hole for an audio jack???

Holder with Tilt Swivel and Cigarette Lighter Charger

http://www.tomtom-proclip.com/?sect...egoryid=&p_year=&p_countryid=0&p_leftorright=

I am thinking of getting this. Does anyone have it? Does the 920 slip in and out of the holder like it does with the Windshield suction holder it came with or do you have to attach one of Pro-Clips clips to the back of the 920 with adhesive tape?

Just want to know. With the adapter for my car, this purchase will be over $100.00 with shipping.

Thanks,
Ed

I'm almost positive it's the same slip on mount as the windshield suction holder. I'll let you know, mine should be here any day. I have had many products from Pro Clip over the years and you can't beat the quality.

my proclip for my 920 just arrived. I will install it later today and will let you know.

Thanks WBWJR and Pedro2NR. I am eager to find out how you like it. I was just about to confirm my order, but thought I'd ask the folks on this forum first.

I'm lovin' my 920!

Just got the 16GB SDHC this morning and I put some of MP3s on it until I filled it up. This is three times more than the capacity my Windows Mobile smartphone holds on an SD, and I can play through my FM radio!

Just bought MobilNova and ripped three DVDs. Video on this 920 is much better than on my smartphone.

With the forum's help, I changed my splash screen and added a lot of POIs from Pedro2NR. Pedro2NR, do you ever sleep?? ;-P

With all the functions I am transferring to my 920, maybe my smartphone will just be used to make phone calls and keep my calendar.

Thanks all!

Ed

I am having issues with an 8 gig card. I believe it stems from the fact that the 920 writes to the card in some circumstances and it may run into the REAL directory structure when over the "NORMAL" 4 gigs that it is designed to support. When I attempt to read some photo folders, mine will go black and then spontaneously reboot. I found that it was writing a thumbnail.dat file. I think while writing this file it encounters an error. It appears to find my mp3 files and play those fine.

I've also got videos and so far it plays them but Mobilnova does also write *.pos files to keep bookmarks.

So I'm still sorting stuff out.

Thanks Pedro2NR. My order is in.

According to the website, we need to purchase both clips and holder.

It slides in and out like the OEM mount. No adhesive to the car mount.
Yes this is a 2 piece part. The car mount attaches to your car and the device mount attaches to the car mount.

I'm on my second one of these clips from ProClip for my 920. Both have a problem where the charger connection will not connect fully. If I really squeeze on the base and TomTom, it will connect but as soon as I let go it looses the charge connection. I'm going to try and modify the base as I like the clip, but really want a charger connection too.

Has anyone else had this problem with a 920?

Carcomm has a new version under development that has a pass-through for the audio as well:

CNM-165 NAVI-MEDIA CRADLE TOMTOM GO 520 / 720 / 920
http://www.carcomm.nl/carcomm/websh...ProductId=D10C5D38-5056-8659-08BEBFD6F8C2B61B


This makes mounting the x3x GO units much closer to the superior mounting system on Garmin's Nuvi 7xx and 8xx units.

Sorry to revive an old topic.

Can anyone tell me where I can purchase one of these Carcomm mounts for my GO920?

I have found several places that review them but I have not been able to find anywhere that actually sells them, including the Carcomm website.

tia.

 

[subarunut]

I looked arond for the carcomm mount, but decided to go with the proclip secure mount instead.

 

[IsLNdbOi]

Kuda USA and Expansys sells these mounts. They don't have the CNM-168 yet though and all of these Carcomm mounts are really expensive.

Can't wait to get more details on the new active mounts on the 940 units. I hope they're much improved over the active mount that the 910 used.
