  • TomTom dead following WNRO

    From Alan Browne@21:1/5 to All on Fri Apr 26 07:21:15 2019
    After a couple weeks, restarts and resets, it will not acquire at all.

    It'd dead. Giving up on it.

    Found a reset procedure on the TomTom site. There's a reset "hole" on
    the bottom. Paper clipped' that for 20 secs, then a 5s turn on sequence
    and it's up and running.

    Now need to see if it will do the times properly.

    Nope. ETA is borked (As TomTom indicated it would be).

    Time of day is correct.

    ETE is correct (of course).

    One XL. No idea what Navcore. Purchased in 2007 IIRC.
    (See my post 2018-04-04 22:28 (UTC)).

    It's off to the electronics recycling bin ...

    New car has a head unit and uses CarPlay...
