TomTom GO 740 LIVE Questions and Answers

Question: I have recently acquired a TomTom go740 Live which has no car or mains charger. The connection on the underside is not usb and has a much larger aperture and connection point. What will I need to charge this on mains or in-car.

Answer: You would need to buy this item: TomTom Compact Car Charger (plus another cable which is no longer available): TomTom GO 740 Live Connect Cable.

TomTom expect that you still have the connection cable which comes with the original 740 purchase. The TomTom GO 740 LIVE Connect Cable has been discontinued by TomTom.

We explain all at the first web page link and illustrate the connection cable that you will require. We have had no stock of the connect cable for several years. You may find one on ebay – but you will still need the Compact Car Charger as well.
