leggtnut Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 So I finally got around to making a DIY mount for my new TomTom. I will post pictures tomorrow. But It sitts just above my STI gauges (your pockets for those w/out the nifty STI guages). I used ShapeLock to form it and then used the supplied windshild mount and suction bace to mount it to the dash. Pictures will do it much better, but needed to get the camera from the wife and it is too late to take pictures. Will take a fiew and post them here tomorrow.

leggtnut Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 So here are the pictures as prommised. I have tested it on ruff high ways windy roads at a good pace. I don't think it will move unless I want it to.

Sponge Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I have mine stuck in the left corner of the windsheild...no oozing white on the dash. How did you get the Subaru logo on yours? I just got my TOM TOM last week and haven't really played around with it much... My vB Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggtnut Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 The oozing white is plastic which still needs to be painted and trimmed to make it look better. Out here in CA, it is illegal to mount anyting on the windshild below the rear view mirror so I had to find a alternative. And the left side of the stearing wheel, though a great location, didn't work too well for me becuase I had troubles operating it reliably with the left hand, and made it impossible for my wife to use it when being a passanger. Install TomTom Home 2.2 and it will be in the options for installing voices, sounds, etc...

Sponge Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 gotcha that all makes sense...that law must kill all the GPS sales out there. Thanks for the tip on the TOM TOM 2.2 that seems like a great download! My vB Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggtnut Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 It doesn't seem so, and it doesnt' stop people from doing it. But I just don't want the added ticket if I get pulled over. It's a much better app than Home 2.1. It seems that they have fixed the prices on the traffic and what not in eruo's and they now apear in dollars. They also have added a connection to the tomtom forums to download startup and shutdown screens like mine.

Sponge Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Gotcha I tried to add the subaru logo like you did but I can't seem to get it to work right? I didn't see a download for 2.2? But I really didn't look to much either...thanks for the tips My vB Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggtnut Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 I would install the version that came in the box of the TomTom and then update it, or it will ask for an update in a short while.
