Hi,
I've been pondering over this for a while now. I'm finding it difficult to get a wired car kit for the XDA 2 in the UK. Now the official O2 is not yet available (but I'm sure someone will argue this point) however the pictures of the offical kit is no good for me. The O2 website shows a cradle that goes over the top of the handset, blocking the SD slot. I need this open so that I can use a SDIO wireless network card in the car kit... wardriving and all that... I've found the following kit advertised for £150 that looks like it does not block the SD slot, all the info I have is this photo:

I've emailled the chap selling them and he says that the kit is made by E-Lead and it is the offical kit from O2 in Germany...
The question I have is several people have reported that the official kit does not play Tom Tom Sav Nav instructions out the car kit, and that it only plays phone calls. I was wondering if anyone (probably in Germany but also maybe UK...) knows if this is the case with this kit too...
Cheers all
