Learn how to install a RAM-A-CAN cup holder mount for your TomTom GO GPS. This step-by-step guide covers placement, assembly, and device security.

Quick answer

Install the RAM-A-CAN cup holder mount for your TomTom GO GPS by placing the base in a standard cup holder, attaching the flexible arm, and securing your device with the included cradle.

Why use a cup holder mount for your TomTom GPS

A cup holder mount keeps your TomTom GO visible and reachable without drilling, gluing, or sticking anything to your dashboard or windshield. The RAM-A-CAN design uses your vehicle's existing cup holder as a stable base, making it easy to move between cars or remove when not in use.

The flexible 6-inch arm lets you position the GPS at a comfortable viewing angle, whether you're driving a sedan, SUV, or truck. Just make sure your cup holder is deep enough to hold the base securely—shallow or angled cup holders may not provide enough grip.

Installation steps

Choose the right cup holder: Select a standard round cup holder in your vehicle that is at least 2.5 inches deep and not tapered. Insert the RAM-A-CAN base firmly until it expands and locks into place. A shallow or angled cup holder may cause the mount to wobble—test stability before attaching your GPS.
Attach the flexible arm: Screw the 6-inch flexible arm into the threaded socket on top of the cup holder base. Tighten it by hand until snug—do not overtighten. Leave enough slack in the arm to adjust the GPS angle later; overtightening can limit flexibility.
Secure the GPS cradle: Attach the TomTom GPS cradle to the ball joint at the end of the flexible arm. Press the cradle onto the ball until it clicks, then tighten the knob to lock the angle. Position the cradle so the GPS screen faces you before tightening—once locked, you may need to loosen and readjust.
Mount your TomTom GO: Slide your TomTom GO 520, 630, 720, or 920 into the cradle until it snaps into place. Tug gently to confirm it's secure. If the cradle feels loose, check that you're using the correct adapter plate for your specific TomTom model.
Route the power cable: Plug the included power cable into your TomTom GPS and route it along the center console or under the dash to your vehicle's 12V outlet. Use cable clips to keep it out of the way. Avoid draping the cable across the gear shifter or steering column—it can become a safety hazard while driving.
