Correct. And pricey too

so does anyone know if the car kit will enhance the GPS signal of the navigon or co-pilot ? can't seem to find an answer to this online....

In the above link on the second or 3rd paragraph it does say it enhances the GPS signal .
It's a bit pricey in my mind , I got a incar 3gs windscreen holder and a incar charger also for £7.99 from a eBay shop called ecell .
Works a treat and fills my needs , only downside was I have to take my phone out of it's case when placing it in the holder.
This might be a problem with the Tom Tom aswell.

Do they have a pass thru connector at the bottom of the cradle? I have a Dice silverline iPhone kit for the car stereo, I'd be tempted with this cradle if (hopefully when) they lower the price due to a lack of interest at the €100 price point, add the €99 for the software and for your money you have a very good stand alone SatNav which will do a better job all round. I was expecting a 50-60 euro price tag for the cradle.

I understand that it does enhance the signal for the TomTom software,but nobody seems to be too sure if it enhances other software ie Navigon and Co-Pilot...

the software would have to be written to specifically use the external gps rather than the internal one, so it might be impossible for co-pilot to use it, would be nice if they could though
