There's no mystery about it. In Germany they call it TomTom DUO. Here you find

No it's not 'causeThanks for that but it's still a mystery, considering we're in a Tomtom USA forum, and there is no DUO on tomtom's website, even under Deutschland.
Have a look at >>>that<<< and you will see that all the mystery is gone in a sudden and finally.Thanks for that but it's still a mystery, considering we're in a Tomtom USA forum, and there is no DUO on tomtom's website, even under Deutschland.

Edit: What the hell have the US of A done to get it in front of us europeans? Left the Iraq five minutes ago??
What the hell are you talking bout, or should I say about what are u talking? I could care less that tomtom is a European company, my point to you was that you were being a smart-ass replying to the original posters thread with your comment saying "There's No mystery about it in Germany it's called DUO", so I simply pointed out (see VERRRY top of your page) that this is a TomTom USA community, so to us it was a mystery. So leave your snooty European comments in Deutschland.
Oh, and if you want to talk about Iraq, go to a political forum.
I was going to say 'At least the USA showed up.', but I didn't.
I wonder how much is it.
Also, correct me if I am wrong. Aren't most car nowadays equip w/ proprietary audio/ video unit, virtually impossible to upgrade to after-market headunit w/out total rewire to bypass fiber optic cable, amp, etc?
Not to mention no space for 2-din Duo?
In most situations you can find an aftermarket spacer/box/mount/whatever to accomodate and aftermarket 2-DIN head unit in most modern vehicles. Of course, it depends on the popularity of the car make/model. Personally, I'm seriously looking at this as a solution if my GO700 ever goes belly-up. I like the idea of sticking with a mostly portable TomTom unit, and then having this nice docking station in the dash head unit. I also know that head unit dock will fit in my Toyota Sienna...
I recently encountered the fiberoptic debacle when trying to add XM radio to my wife's Volvo XC90 SUV. In trying to find a solution, I did discover that other manufacturers are putting in fiberoptic audio systems as well, but the majority of them are still using good ol' fashion copper. Personally, I think the fiberoptic stuff is a dumb idea, as even the quietest, most luxurious car is still going to have road/wind noise, so is it REALLY necessary to have a 100% fiberoptic system to provide the ultimate sound quality? My wife's Volvo even had fiber coming from the antenna, which prevented me from tapping in a wired FM modulator for the XM receiver. Is it really necessary to have fiber coming from the FM antenna? I especially found all this silly in the Volvo because (1) It's an SUV so it gets a lot of wind/road noise, and (2) there are a lot of other things that were relatively primative or missing in the car -- they really should've started improving/adding those features instead of fiberoptic audio (ie, XM/Sirius Radio -- HELLO? It's 2007! FM is only used for modulating iPods and external satellite radio devices!).
We've since traded in the Volvo for a Honda with copper wiring. Guess what? The audio system sounds better. Haha.
