 Not worth the money October 15, 2008
J. Barbee (New Albany, IN USA)
The audio quality is horrible. Pops and clicks constantly. I have a 720, and the user interface leaves you going through too many gyrations to make this something you want to do every time you turn on your car. I find the direct lineout connection to my iPod much more usable, because you don't have to startup the iPod again when you turn the car on, and you get the benefit of charging the iPod, that you don't get with the TomTom in the middle.
There simply isn't enough benefit to justify putting your TomTom between your car and your radio.
Nothing Great May 19, 2008

My car stereo could connect to ipod directly using its ipod cable which looks to be a better option in case you want better sound quality. Routing voice through tom tom go 720 and then input to car stereo using auxiliary input audio cable deteriorate the sound quality.

Tom Tom iPod Connect Cable and Audio Cable
Pros:
1) Allows touchscreen control of your iPod on your TomTom
Cons:
1) Sound quality poor and volume was lacking
2) Doesn't resume song when turning TomTom back on
3) Didn't work correctly with my 3 Gen iPod (wouldn't pause iPod when turning off TomTom, but seemed to work correctly with my iPod Mini)
4) Doesn't charge iPod
Don't waste your $30 (you can have mine)
Harmon Kardon Drive+Play is a MUCH better option for controlling your iPod.
 Easy solution to shoddy sound quality January 29, 2008

Hey guys I was thinking about buying this for my TomTom but heard of the poor sound quality which was a huge deal to me. I normally plug my iPod in through the auxilary port of my car but that will be taken up by my nav system now.
What did I do? I went to radio shack and got an audio splitter for about $10. This allows me to plug both the iPod and TomTom into a single port with no interference. The only downside is no controlling iPod with the TomTom but I'm used to that anyway.
 Great Add-On December 27, 2007

I am not sure why so many other people had issues with this device. If you use it correctly and are using a tomtom 720 or higher there is no background noise and it even works with my iphone. I am glad I do not have to touch my phone while driving ever again.

The Benefits Of A Car GPS System
By Andrew Winthorp
Driving from point A to point B has gotten much easier over the years, as tracking technology like GPS (Global Positioning System) brings the added convenience of many different capabilities. When looking to purchase a car GPS system, a new world of easier traveling, enhanced safety, and property protection becomes accessible. To fully comprehend the many benefits of car GPS, consider the following:
Lost on the Road?
When written directions are no help and you find yourself traveling a dark, intimidating road that doesn't look too familiar - one of the best benefits of car GPS comes when you are able to find your way out of the darkness. All of this is made possible with a technology that enables you to pinpoint your exact location and then use a tracking system to create a course to follow that gets you where you need to go. Many users simply use GPS to create a mapped-out plan before taking to the road and running the risk of getting lost.
Safety and Protection
In this day and age, you never know when you will become a victim of a crime, such as car theft. When criminals are aware that a GPS tracking system is installed on a vehicle, it makes drivers less susceptible to this illegal act, which sometimes involves violence. If you have found that your car has been stolen, a GPS tracking system can aid the police in locating your car in less time by pinpointing the exact position of your automobile - no matter where it is.
Depending on the kind of GPS car system you choose, various features are included. Some consumers enjoy built-in roadside assistance, monitoring services, and access to emergency help. Certain models of in-car systems are automatically keyed in to alert the nearest 911 operator if an accident should take place.
Small Size and Ease of Use
The benefits of car GPS systems are connected to a small unit that easily attaches to your windshield or dashboard. Following the directions of a GPS system for the car is rather easy, as you input your desired location and wait for further instructions that deliver turn-by-turn commands given by a voice in real time. Now days, it is quite common to see rental agencies installing GPS in their vehicles to entice their customers. Also, if a rental car is stolen, GPS easily finds it without losing any time.
Save Money
The benefits of car GPS systems also places more money in your pocket, as some companies are now lowering the rates of car insurance for drivers possessing this added advantage. Companies are now acknowledging those who purchase a car with this type of system already installed, as well as offer savings to those who have GPS car tracking installed after the purchase of a new or used vehicle.
In the long run, you stand to save money when buying a GPS car system even without the car insurance discounts. Consumers spend less money on gas when they are aware of their exact positioning on the road, and have the means to quickly get where they want to go in less time and without wasting gas.
