I bought the TomTom car kit because I have one of the iPhones with a dodgy GPS chip. It now works perfectly. it is not just a mount, it boosts GPS, can link sound from app to car radio, has a built in speaker, and also you can pair using bluetooth. Most importantly though, my app now works perfectly, and I can use my iPod in it with the app if I want. You get what you pay for, and this is quality!!

Thanks to a number of misfortunes I needed a new mobile, MP3 player and a Satnav.
Answer: iPhone. Easy.
Purchased the TomTom app for it and yes it is good (safety cameras etc come included) but a bit of lag and in built up areas with high buildings could get a bit messy.
So traded up to the bespoke cradle and HUGE improvement: works superbly. Also can now connect via Belkin radio link to my car stereo, which previously was a no go for the iPhone.
Do not dispute it is an expensive fix but you get what you pay for.

This is fantastic and it works with other apps such as Navigon. 10 out of 10!

I tried this product now for few weeks. My iPhone 3GS GPS is already not bad, however a get the no signal note every now and then and sometimes it takes around a minute to find a signal, plus some minor lags. However, since using the TomTom car kit i get the signal immediately, and no lags at all. I strongly recommend the product for travelers.

Pleased with this:
Small, neat, unobtrusive,
Suction cup works very well
Bluetooth connection very easy and totally reliable
Amplified sound plenty loud enough in my vehicles- a sports car and a van, both with above saloon car cabin noise.
I’d buy another if the need arose…
