A couple of weeks ago I replaced one of the 2 12v sockets in our 2012 A-T Apache (Fiat based) with a USB socket. Easy job thanks to the info found on here.
It seemed to work fine but it wasn't until we went away this week that I realised that my Tom Tom Camper & Caravan model really doesn't like this socket!
The problem is that when I turn off the ignition the TomTom goes dead immediately - no message saying that it's shutting down because the power supply has been disconnected - it's just dies immediately! As a result, when I switch the ignition back on the TomTom doesn't restart and the only way to restart it is the 'hard reboot' - i.e. hold down the power button for 20 seconds.
Before I put the old 12v socket back, does anyone have any idea what the cause of the problem might be?
