TomTom news flash...the truth!

It is about time that someone gave you the right information about the TomTom car kit. Most sites out there have published incorrect information.

I got an e-mail from an account executive from Hill & Knowlton International Belgium, the official communication firm in charge of all the Benelux communication for TomTom. It is clearly stated that the the car kit will be sold seperately from the TomTom app.

Here is what they stated:

"TomTom announces today that the TomTom car kit for the iPhone will have a recommended retail price of 99.99 Euros.

The TomTom car kit will be available this October and will be sold separately from the TomTom app. It will be compatible with the iPhone 2G, 3G and 3GS.

All further details on the car kit will be made available soon."

If they talk about car kit, what are they talking about? If it's just this thing you fix your iPhone in your windshield with, the price is much too high. I bought one at 'amazon' ownstyle Premium Autohalterung fÃ¼r das iPhone 3G for about 20 EUR. The fixing is easy, moving the flexible is a little bit harder but once in place that's what makes it stable so that you do not have too much vibration while reading the screen. As i like to have mine on the very left of my windshield and if you do so, watch out with the length of the cable in case you've got, like me, only one supply in the middle console. Hope this little review helps, for further information feel free to ask.

Dear Laurent: The iPhone car kit for TomTom is much more than only a simple car kit. It has a supplementary GPS card, charger function, built-in speaker to amplify the voice, can be connected to the car radio so you can play your music of the iPod function of your iPhone over the car stereo system. So it's more than just a car-mount!
