This device has two USB ports, one port is 1.2A and follows the official "USB Battery Charging Spec". This port can be used for quickly charging most Android phones, or other devices compatible with the official spec.
The second port, marked "Fast Charging" however uses the incompatible proprietary Apple charging method. If you connect a non-apple device to this port, it will only draw 0.5A at most, which is not enough for most devices to charge and be used at the same time.
This is very confusing as the TomTom description implies that this port will work with any high power USB device, which simply is not true.
Just wanted to add 2 comments,
1) You can trick a compliant device into drawing more then 0.5A on the "Fast Charging" port by using a special "charging-only" USB cable or adapter. So NOT a regular USB data cable! Such a charging-only cable has the 2 data pins (D- and D+) crossed which will cause the device to draw more power.
2) I just got a new car, a 2012 BMW 3-series (F30) and the charger will not fit with USB cables attached in the centre console.

Item arrived very quickly. Really it does what it says on the tin, it fits well into the charging point and stays there. I can run the satnav and charge the phone at the same time.

Does what it says - charges stuff fast, probably knocks about 30 mins off the charging time of my iPhone when in the car.

...does exactly what it says on the tin.
Only a couple of problems with this one...it's quite bulky and can get in the way, depending on where your 12v adapter is situated in your car. The other thing I've noticed with this is that the green LED power light remains on, even when the ignition is off. Not sure whether it's actually taking power or not, but don't want to leave it plugged in all night and risk a flat battery just to find out, so I've taken to removing this when I'm not in the car.
Desite these 2 small issues, it's good value for money and seems solidly made.

It does what it says on the box. Not only can you use 2 USB items, you still have use of the 12v power socket. A must buy for mobile phone users.

Does the job a treat carging the Tom Tom 7 two mobiles in our Toyota AYGO. Does stick out a fair way (as photo) out of the socket so may not suit all cars.

This is something I wished I found sooner. The speed at which the fast charge port works is amazing. My Xperia Z1 charged in less than 30 minutes from almost totally drained. It sits quite tall when plugged, but should fit in most cars... Glad I didn't buy some of the cheaper ones out there. Would highly recommend.

Very good multi-port charger for the car
Fast charge is great for the car and with pass-through you don't lose a socket. All this and you TomTom is powered too!
