My brand new TomTom GO Premium X says Traffic and Speed Camera updates are "Expired"

prvincent · April 25

I have just bought a TomTom GO Premium X to replace my old GO 6000 (you can see both devices listed for my account [email protected]). However, from the menu, if I select System->About, it says that both Traffic and Speed Camera Updates are "Expired". But the TomTom GO Premium X is supposed to have Lifetime Traffic and Lifetime Speed Camera Updates. So what's going on, please? Surely it shouldn't be saying these services are expired, since they should both be active for the "Lifetime" of the device?

Mod edit: Please don't post private or personal information on a public forum. Thanks

Hi prvincent

Just reviewed your device and account information. I see that the services are now activated.

Looks like you already contacted customer service for this.

Hi Vikram,

Thanks for the speedy reply (still no reply via the customer service question, which is why I duplicated my question here - apologies if it caused any confusion). Sadly, the System->About screen still says "Traffic - Expired" and "Speed Camera Updates - Expired". (No mention either way of Lifetime Map Updates, so hopefully they're OK). Likewise, when I tap the row of icons in top-right of the main menu, it says "Traffic - Expires soon". Do I need to do anything else to pick up the activated services? Factory Reset, for instance? I'm connected to my home Wi-Fi, by the way.

Regards,
Paul

Hi Vikram,

Just noticed an email arrived in the last few minutes, regarding my support question, advising me to do a factory reset, so please ignore the above. I'll do that now, and hopefully all will be well. Thanks again!

Paul

All sorted now - the factory reset picked up all the Lifetime Subscriptions, and all is well. Thanks once more to Vikram, and to Richa from Customer Support.

Regards,
Paul

(Thank you to DougLap, too - the pointer to the support phone numbers was helpful.)

Have the same problem but only with speed cameras saying expired in 2012! Tried several attempts at factory resets but remains the same bit annoying for a brand new device any help would be appreciated considering returning

Stevemo1 - Contact Customer Support, and they'll sort it out. It was doing a factory reset AFTER they'd activated my services for me that solved the problem, not just the factory reset (see DougLap's link, above). Good luck!
