TomTom Rider 400

[Polarbear]

Has anyone got or used a TomTom 400

Not sure whether to put this here or in geek but I am having issues with mine.

It works fine, but when I haven't got a route planned, after a short while it changes into a demo mode with pictures and how to video's until I touch the screen again.

I've looked on line and all I can find is that it doesn't do it with a route plumbed in. I know that, what I want to know is how to turn the demo off so the map, speed cameras etc. run continuously when a route is not entered. It's very distracting to have what is basically a mini television playing in your line of sight while riding.

I can't find anything on the TomTom user forum but I suppose I shall have to join and make myself look stupid if I can't fix this.

Here, this should help:

I don't have my TomTom handy to see if this works but try options, demo, off.

Their forums seem to suggest that this will work. Yours is going into demo mode (for displays in shops and the like) as you don't have a route planned in and it thinks you aren't using it.

Try a "drum-reset", hold power button until you hear the drum sounds, plan a route and ride it for a few miles. It should automatically decide that it's no longer in a shop. My rider 410 does this whenever I do a full wipe.

What system version are you running?

The TomTom forums are plastered with all sorts of problems with the newer Riders. TomTom appears slow down to be fixing them all. Seems like they shipped a half baked product.

I hadn't updated my year old 400 just incase it stopped working, but i did yesterday, haven't had a play yet.

Mine suffers from condensation inside the screens which is apparently a common problem...

That's the version I'm running, was out today and last night without a route planned. Was fine. Return to retailer.

I had a look through the menus on my 400, I can't see any demo mode options either.
I'm running the latest firmware/updates (I usually hook it up once a week to get the latest speed camera updates and anything else that's available) and I've never seen it go into a demo mode.
Maybe try a factory reset - settings->System->Reset->Reset

Some interwebbing seems to suggest that they come ready to run a demo mode but setting the first programmed route is supposed to disable it. There is talk of system resets but one guy who appeared to be responding on behalf of TomTom went as far as suggesting a full software reinstall.
