I usually do not reply to youtube videos. But I must admit this is really interesting as I was planning to buy the app and the kit.

Anyhow just one question my friend.

Can you tell me if it is possible to install additional languages in the tomtom iphone app? like custom language pack?

[theunits3]

Theres about 25 different languages to choose from i.e. spanish, french etc... if your talking about funny voices i.e. simpsons voice, a-team etc, you can't do these. You can do these with the standalone TomTom units - but not on the iphone version. Hope they do bring it out though, would be cool.

i am wondering if anyone knows if this kit will eventually be compatible with any of tom tom's usb rds-tmc traffic receivers, or if they will ever use the internet capability of the iphone to live update traffic

[theunits3]

dont think the USB rds-tmc (i had one yonks ago) will ever be compatible with them because theres no spare USB ports. Also, I think they may gradually just add that feature in the TomTom app. Remember, theres a 'car kit' app coming out for the TomTom this month also - interesting to see what that will actually be.

Excellent videos (unboxing, review and this FAQ)

I've got one question, what is the handsfree phone capability like of the car kit? I'm guessing it just uses the built in iPhone Voice Control, or does the TomTom app have additional support for true handsfree, for example like a Parrot MKi9000

[theunits3]

Not too sure what you exactly mean. When your using TomTom and a phonecall comes through, your voice goes through the iPhone itself (as per normal) although the receivers voice comes through the loud speaker on the TomTom car unit. Let me know if you require further clarification.

Does the GPS cradle works without the USB connected?

[dstein111]

The cradle is adjustable. You can slide it up or down. There's your stability problem solved

[TheLarouk]

Hi! Do you know if it is compatible and fit nicely with iPod Touch 4th gen? There are forums saying that iTouch 4g can't fit nicely into the Tom Tom iTouch dock. Thanks

[BidCrushr]

Awesome video review, You definitely answered all my questions and were very clear in doing so. definitely the best review i have watched on youtube. I'm getting my kit for Ipod touch in the mail today and can't wait to play with it. Already have the app downloaded. Thanks again for the great video review of this car kit.

[sebastiaan1997]

does it work for the ipod touch 3g non mc model?

[JeppeRotten]

The sound out of the Audio jack is great! I have installed it directly to a car amp and it sounds absolutely super.

[MrDentonai]

[bramcodoss1Pinguin]

can you recharge the car kit, can you use it later without cable?

[bramcodoss1Pinguin]

Is it possible to recharg it before you use it and after that you use it without cable?
