TomTom iPhone Car Kit is disappointing.

I received my TomTom iPhone Car Kit last Friday. I have to say I have had only one chance to use the TT Car Kit but I was really disappointed. First, my very thin Griffin iPhone case had to be removed before it would fit in the TT Car Kit. Second, when the iPhone is connected to the TT Car Kit and the TomTom application is running the TomTom application continued to notify me of turn's after I had passed the turn. I did experience this often with just the application running but I expected the TT Car Kit to resolve this problem. Unfortunately I continue to get a weak signal, so weak that I had my doubts that there really was an internal GPS in the TT Car Kit but the TomTom web site claims there is an internal GPS in the TT Car Kit. On the box it claims 'Enhanced GPS Signal', nothing of a built in GPS.

I was not impressed with the Bluetooth hands free calling either. I made two calls and had a difficult time hearing both calls. However, when I asked the recipient of the call how I sounded they said it was ok.

My wife is so busy at work she uses the drive back & forth to work to catch up on her phone calls. For me the safety benefits of Hands-Free Calling would have been worth the price of the TT Car Kit.

I will experiment more with the TT Car Kit but if it continues to perform like the initial test I will be returning it for a refund.

I was really hoping the TomTom Car Kit would be a great experience.
