TomTom car kit - is this a joke?

[wildonrio]

This costs $120.

Features:

-Secure docking - there are TONS of mounts for under $30 that do this.
-Enhanced GPS performance - GPS on iPhone works fine, we don't need a boost.
-Clear voice instructions - use an auxiliary cable into your aux jack on your car deck.
-Hands-free calling - once again, the auxiliary jack. You're gonna have echo feedback either way, so this is a waste without echo cancellation technology on your deck.
-Charges iPhone while driving - WOW.
-Rotates for optimal performance - search "iPhone mount" on amazon. I think every single one does this.
-Line out for music playback - Funny, I thought the headphone jack on the iPhone can do the same thing....oh yeah, it can.


DO NOT BUY THIS.

Agreed! Ver 1.1 is a decent improvement and I even pick up a GPS signal in my home. Total waste of money!!!

I bought a cheap kit on the internet for $28 (car-charger + mounting kit), and it's working just fine!

Check out the navigon mount on my blog (link in sig) - looks like a pretty sweet alternative.
