Changing device allocated to account

JudgeClarke

Hi,
I have had a Tomtom one since 2006 and it's finally given up,
I managed to source a second unit and have allocated it to my TomTom account
but I can't seem to use the maps that I purchased for the broken model ?
Can anyone help ?

thanks
Mc

HI @JudgeClarke

Maps are tied to the serial number of the unit they are supplied with or purchased for and can not be moved to another device.

Thanks

Hi @JudgeClarke

I regret to say that a number of one units have been declared obsolete and you can not buy maps etc for them. Can you advise the 2 letters at the start of the units serial number.so we can check this..

Hi @JudgeClarke

Regrettably this is the information re maps etc for your unit.

Important:​ Your device is no longer supported through phone , and it's not possible to buy new maps and services for your device. You can still get help through our user forum and FAQs.

Here is the link to the page this data comes from.

You scroll down the list of Serial number prefixes to E2

The other unit has the same result.

HI @JudgeClarke

Some would moan but the march of time I am afraid.

I have a Apple 5SE phone which is a model they were selling very recently. There are suggestions that the new software update due later this year will not be available for the phone or the 6 and 6s models. Tomtom are still updating units far beyond what Apple do for their equipment.
