Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of TomTom USB RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver for all TomTom GPS Except Go 740
Customer Review: Difficult to review
Summary: 3 Stars
The first thing I will say is that once I eventually got the right RDS-TMC it was fantastic. Works like a dream in the Bay Area to get you around traffic. Anyone that uses I-880 or I-80 in the morning to get to work needs one of these. One morning it saved me an hour by getting me around an accident I did not even know was there until I was passed it, then I heard about it on the radio!
The only negatives are (1) that it needs to be plugged in to work so there is no listening to my iPod through the radio if I want traffic also. (2) It can take a few minutes (sometimes up to 5 mins) when you first calculate your route to find all the traffic info it needs when its set to automatic searching. I have not tried manual yet though.
Unfortunately the reciever sold here did not work with my TomTom as stated in the description. The ONE-130 has a USB connection and this one is a pin. It is not part 9V00.180 which is the USB one sold by TomTom.
[...]
So be careful. Check the connection you need. There are a lot of sites that sell this pin connection and say it is for the ONE series. There might be TomTom ONEs out there with pin connectors but mine certainly is not.
On the plus side though, the company was great and allowed my return and refunded my money very quickly. They say they are even trying to have this ad updated to make it more obvious.
