There is only one that's guaranteed compatible and that's TomToms own external antennae. You could try a re-radiating antennae but I think it might be more expensive.

Hi deano
I had the same problem with my TTGo and a heated screen. I found that the wires in the screen do not extend completely across the screen. (ie on the bend of the screen to the left & right.) Unfortunately the space at these points was not big enough to allow TTGo to sit there, so I brought the TTGo external aerial. It works just fine now and I don't have the receiver outside the car, but on the front window sill (where there are no heater wires).
Problem solved !!
The mount that was supplied with your TTGo is repaced in the external aerial kit with one that has the receiver wired into it. Also you plug the power lead into this mount aswell.
I have posted pictures of the complete set up on my web site - if you would care to take a look. It is under 'Just some useful links' at http://www.justallwoman.co.uk
