You can connect your iPhone or Android™ phone to your navigation device either with or 
without the 

MyDrive app

. To take advantage of all three features listed below, we recommend 

that you connect using the MyDrive app. If you choose to connect without the app, you won't 
have access to the smartphone messages feature. You also won't have access to TomTom 
Services unless your mobile service provider allows Personal Hotspot/Bluetooth® Tethering.  

Connect your phone to your navigation device to use these features:  

 

TomTom Services  
Receive real-time traffic information, speed camera updates and MyDrive using your phone’s 
data connection. This feature uses approximately 7 MB of data per month.  

Note: Smartphone Connected devices only. All other devices receive services via the built-in 
SIM. 

 

Hands-free calls  
Receive and make calls on your navigation device. Get full access to your phone’s personal 
assistant - Siri or Google Now™. 

 

Smartphone messages  
Receive SMS and messages from other smartphone apps on your navigation device. Messages 
can be read aloud so you can keep your eyes on the road. 

Note: iPhones or Android™ (5.0 or higher) smartphones only.  

Click 

Android™ app

 or 

iPhone app

 for specific steps to connect using the MyDrive app. Click

need this information later if contacting Customer Care.
