The TomTom Car Kit for iPhone has reappeared online in several European Apple Stores.

The kit costs £99.95 and this time the iPhone app is corrected marked as "sold separately".

TomTom Car Kit features:
Secure docking
TomTom's specially designed, award-winning EasyPort mount attaches your iPhone securely to your windscreen or dashboard - perfectly within reach. It lets you rotate the screen for widescreen route display. And it folds flat for easy moves from car to car.

Enhanced GPS performance
The TomTom car kit's built-in receiver increases the GPS performance of your iPhone to give you a truly reliable signal - even in high-rise urban areas.

Clear voice instructions
With the built-in volume controls and superior speaker, you'll hear every voice instruction loud and clear - so you'll never miss a thing.

Easy charging
Dock your iPhone in the mount to charge it as you drive, so it's always fully charged and ready to go.

Hands-free calling
Receive calls without taking your eyes off the road, using the built-in extra-sensitive microphone and speaker. And the app automatically starts navigating again as soon as the call ends.

Your music on the move
With the audio out connector you can play all your favourite songs through your car's audio system with the optional audio cable*. It even fades music out when receiving calls and giving directions.

The car kit is marked as shipping within 1-2 weeks and pre-orders can be placed now.

I think it is still unclear if it really is a full GPS built into the holder or not. If it is, why will they not sell it to all ipod touch users, that souns crazy to me. I can cleraly see why you need this on TomTom because it really sucks at keeping the GPS position. I got a refund and bought Navigon instead and it works a lot better! And If I really want the best GPS connection I will jailbreak and use the app in Cydia that allows you to connect to a BT GPS, like my Gpslim 236 that gives fantastic GPS connection.

You can buy a stand alone GPS, 4.3Inch touch screen w/e for the same price... Ex garmin 255w which is better.
