find my tomtom activation code without cd or box

I ended up randomly choosing a different product and proceeded to wait on hold for twenty-two minutes. The menu is very specific directing you based on your product but the XXL wasn’t an option. Searching the TomTom support site I couldn’t find anything remotely related to my issue. Hooking the device back to my PC and checking for updates shows nothing. An OK button pressed brought me to a map selection which only listed one selecting it brought me back to the previous error. You cannot use this map on this device: USA_Canada_and_Mexico_P-165. I unhooked my XXL 540 M from the PC and turned it on to receive the following error: Problem with map. Off to map updates and began the installation of a 1.6 GB map update yikes! Again it completed without issue. Back to entering activation code which now worked. Went back and ran all updates on my device this was pretty painless and completed quickly. Tried three more times but the same thing. Installation was straightforward and I connected my device, clicked use my activation code and entered my number: I received “an error has occurred, please try again”.

Perusing the device once connected to my PC showed an autorun that launches and installs the Home software, but few of us let any autorun programs run and a mention of this in the documentation would go a long way. I was sent to a download page that listed all models except XXL but I downloaded and installed anyway. A card in the bottom of the box told me to go to listed my promotion, free lifetime maps, and in small print at the bottom let me know if I don’t have TomTom Home installed download here. Reading the user guide gives no information on connecting the GPS to a PC or updating it. On my previous TomTom One 3.5″ GPS my house wasn’t shown so I wanted to get this XXL 540M hooked up and using my free lifetime maps.Ī check in the box doesn’t show a CD: no problem, programs are updated all the time.

Nice and easy: screen was large and easy to read and navigate. I unpacked it and turned it on: very straightforward questions about date, time, home location, voice to use. Everything I was looking for in a GPS for the car.

Canada and Mexico maps plus lifetime map updates.

Five inch screen, spoken street names, advanced lane guidance, U.S. Dell had a fourty-eight hour deal on a TomTom XXL 540 M GPS with case for $150 CDN so I jumped all over it.
