Carminat Device ID with out SD Card

Hi,

I've just purchased a 2010 Clio Dynamique Tom Tom. The SD Card had been removed from the carminat sat nav. I'm looking to replace it with one from ebay but the seller is asking me for the device id to they can register the card to my specific device. Is there any way of obtaining this without the sd card in the unit? As there is no sd card I can't access the usual menu's to get at it.

If all else fails, I'll have to purchase a new card - where would I get a brand new card for a 2010 carminat unit (not carminat live! - apparently there is a difference)

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

-Martin

I don't think it is that straightforward to move SD maps to another TomTom device. Would be very interested to hear if you succeed. Best to buy a new card and purchase the maps you need online. Maps as well as SD cards (I believe) are coded to a specific machine. This might help Compatible memory codes for map installation

Thanks for the advice, I had the same problem!!

Best way is to buy a blank SD card 2gb upwards, switch off the Tomtom insert the SD card in slot switch the Tomtom it will write to the card to enable you to download the maps.

This done by downloading "Tomtom Home" to your laptop/computer and registering with them you will then be able for a price to download the maps on to your SD card :smile2:

There is no need to buy any "special sd card". Insert blank 16 GB card (you need at least 8 to download Europe map),
After it initializes, turn off the car, take sd card home.
Download TomTom Home 2(not tomtom mydrive) and insert your sd card into cardreader (you need to buy one if you don't have it - pound shop will be ok).
You will need to create new account (if not registered with tomtom yet) and then it will ask you to link your account with this car: agree. Afterwards it will restore all purchases that were done for that navigation. If there were no purchases - you can always buy map from the app.

Sounds like you have a corrupt file on your SD card, insert card into your computer locate "Loopdir" file delete it then place SD card back into your Tomtom start car and switch on wait until it finishes reading and replacing the file it will then replace your possible corrupt file "Loopdir"

Hopefully it should correct any corrupt files on your card and should now read correctly in your TomTom.
