Does this work with a TomTom Start 4EF00? If I use this cord, will I still get traffic updates?

This item is made by TomTom, so I feel sure it will work. I use it with both a TomTom (model unknown) and a Magellan. Whether or not you will still get traffic updates, I don't know, but I can't imagine why this would be any different from the cord you previously used.

I have no idea. I only have a TomTom. You could probably ask the manufacturer.

i have a guess, and i want to stress that this is *only* a guess, that tomtom averages the amount of time that people take to drive any given route. if the road is wide open -especially for longer drives- i always beat the original estimates; if the traffic is bad, i'm always later. i know for a fact that tomtom is taking information from your device, and vice versa, when you connect to tomtom.com. the tomtom is definitely learning new routes (from roads that people drive on that the device doesn't know about -- i've seen roads show up on my device after friends have logged them with their tomtoms on) and new shorter paths (my device doesn't direct me "wrong" again after i've gone a shorter way than it originally knew about. so i think they're conglomerating data and giving you a point-to-point guess based on what their users have actually done. it wouldn't surprise me that if you used the external traffic sensor that this would be even more accurate based not only on the traffic of the moment, but their data base on the history of your route at that particular time. for what it's worth, m.

Sorry, I can't answer that as I don't have a TomTom unit. Recommend you contact seller.

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.

Yes, they are the same. Garmin separates the model vs add-on components (like a traffic receiver), which this unit comes with.There is nothing to do to activate the traffic feature. Just plug it into you car's battery port (cigarette lighter) and if you are in an area that has traffic service, it will work. And if you get a screen telling you to go to Garmin's website and "activate" the traffic feature, ignore it.

I believe the answer to both Questions is YES. You can View and/or Download the Documentation from TomTom.com.

First of all the traffic update is active ONLY if you use the car adapter with the built-in FM traffic supplied with this unit. You also have to 'Web Update' your unit before using it. Go to this link http://www8.garmin.com/products/webupdater/howtoinstall.jsp Most of the problems like locking up and/or unit weirdness can be fixed with this simple procedure.

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?

I have had this over a year and it is still working. When connected to my TomTom XXL the XXL detects it and searches for a data source then locks on. On a recent trip from Long Island, NY (for those that don't know just think TRAFFIC NIGHTMARE) it was constantly telling me of delays.

I used it traveling from Germany to France just last december. Coming back to Germany i realized some major roads where outdated, it was as easy as hooking up the tomtom to my mac, create a username on the lifetime update for my unit and there, updated maps for free!!! Beware that they are quite heavy updates, so depending on your connection speed it may take a while.

1st: Examine the ends and the holes they go into. If they fit right, the USB is correct.2nd: If that doesn't work, call TomTom's free tech support. They are good.

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 think so. It does not have the traffic antenna. It did not give me traffic on the unit I used it on. Other than that the cord worked fine.

Not sure, but I would think you should. Best bet would be to contact TomTom for this answer.

The data connection to your phone via Bluetooth is used to update your itinerary with current traffic conditions (and reroute if necessary/feasible). That means that if you terminate the data connection, current traffic is no longer displayed on the TomTom and not used for routing. The idea behind it is really to leave the data connection on throughout your trip. To what extent traffic conditions are factored in during initial routing (instead of live traffic conditions during the drive) I don't know. Because they are ongoing, how much data is used by the traffic updates, would depend on the length of your trip. I used the feature recently on a 1,400-mile trip, and total mobile data usage for the TomTom was 1.13 MB.
