So this is probably possible, cause I've read on TomTom site, that the kit is compatible with any GPS app available on iphone... so it should work, I should be getting the kit soon for iphone 1st gen... so I'll report when I got it working. By the way, google is your friend... use it to find tomtom or magellan's software... easy as cake... If your iphone isnt jailbroken already, you might have to do it first. But who would possible want to live with the constraint apple put on the iphone anyway. I'm wondering the same thing, but if you read carefully:

I just started using Motion-X and love it (and the tiny price) and want to buy a windshield mount for it that offers a GPS boost, integrated speakers for turn-by-turn voice directions, and charger. I'm doubting that Tom Tom's will work. Anyone else make one? I'm wondering the exact same thing!

Personally I like the idea of the mount given the features that it has, but do not want to purchase the TomTom app. If/when I get a better answer I will update this post. Hopefully once its in the hands of the public we can get this answered. @Karl, Excellent question and one that I am trying to find an answer to.

Could one possibly combine MotionX or some other, cheaper GPS app and the car kit, or is it proprietary?
