Purchased Go Supreme as it offered free updates but upon switching on asked to activate and then asked for payment for speed cameras which stated as being free, now about to go to ACC and Consumer as their phone numbers are bloody disconnected.

    Hi @ozind

    When you first turned the unit on after purchase and you had gone through the Initial Setup procedure were you offered any updates and did you activate any of them. If you are ever offered any updates you should do them one at a time and any Operating System updates must be done first.?

    The problem is the unit has not set up correctly on the TT servers and @VikramK has asked his colleagues to sort that out. Can you try the Reset again to see if that sorts it now. Once it is sorted the promised services will be available.

    If a further Reset does not do it then I would do the following.

    Tap menu
    Tap Settings
    Tap System
    Tap Reset device

    This performs a factory reset which , whilst it will not affect any Map updates or Operating version updates that may have been done it means that you will have to go through the initial set up again which hopefully will sort it.

    Let us know how you get on in the mean time where are you seeing the payment requests .

    Doug
