I do own the TT car kit now.
It works with any GPS based software I tried:
* Navigon Navigator (I find this much better than TomTom.)
* Trails
* iPhone Maps
* Navionics Marine
* GPS MotionX
* Distant Suns
* Star Walk
* and of course iNavX
How did I test it: I drove with my car to a place with bad GPS signal (if I use the iPhone builtin GPS). As soon as I place the iPhone into the TT cradle, the GPS signal appears at once.
Although a message pops up when inserting the iPhone, that there's an app missing (they mean Tom Tom Navigator) but just click on "NO" when asked to connect to the iTunes Store.
Unfortunately you have to say NO everytime you insert your iPhone but the TT cradle works.
