Title
TomTom car 12V adapter 4UUC23B incl. TMC Traffic Data Receiver resolder broken TMC antenna Replacement
Introduction
TomTom offers 12V car adapter for e.g. TomTom START 60, including TMC traffic data receiver. The 'receiver' is integrated in the flat cable leading to mini or µUSB plug (depending on the used navi system).
Unfortunately, the cable material gets stiff at lower temperatures and can easily break close to the USB plug. 'no TMC receiver detected' is reported on the navi screen, no actual traffic data can be used for route warnings and alternative routes.
Fortunately, only the antenna cable is in the adapter, NOT a complete receiver!
So, open the USB plug, desolder carefully the cable, shorten the cable, resolder to the connector, close it with glue and you're done and spent your saved ~50€ for something better.

Conclusion
1. remount the USB plug into its housing using gel glue (Sekundenkleber)
2. Use textile glue tape to give better break protection for future
3. If you opened also the adapter itself, close the housing, don't forget the fuse and screw the plastic metal ring to fix the housing.
4. connect the adapter to your car and the navi. The navi should report a message 'TMC receiver detected' on startup.
