DriveCast allows you to synchronize any TomTom models (with mp3 support), so that you will be able to listen to your favorite mp3s while you are driving.


STEP 1: Connect your TomTom to your computer. Once TomTom is connected, two different disk units will be displayed: one named "INTERNAL", and the other, named with the removable SD card label (in this example "TOMTOMSD").

On windows example below, removable SD is the disk G: while "INTERNAL" is the disk I:

STEP 2: Go to DriveCast website and download the software DrivecastUSB, then install it inside removable SD (in this example, G:\ under Windows).

Further information about DriveCastUSB install are available at: http://wiki.drivecast.eu/index.php/How_to_use_portable_device


STEP 3: Running the DriveCastUSB software will take the content from DriveCast the the TomTom music area.

Please note that in TomTom devices, all the media and the playlists will be downloaded inside "Mp3" folder in removable SD (G:\Mp3 under Windows), to be also playable from TomTom itself.

After the synchronization you have to disconnect the correct procedure (dependent from your operating system)
