Hi folks,

...finally solved - and it was not so hard to get it after all. Nobody having the same problem - was it just me?

The PIMAddIn.dll file is normally not registered for TomTom Mobile, especially if the distribution is done via the SD Card. There the 2577 (autoexec) directory only executes the Autorun.exe file which will copy a few links to the startmenu and possibly cares about other items - not however to register the PIMAddIn.dll file.
So you are stuck with the application PIMAddInApp.exe - which is not very convenient to use, especially if you have many contacts in your database.

So what does PIMAddIn.dll do for you?
It does what I had expected right from the start when using TTMobile:
Adding two Context-Menu items from the main list of your normal contacts list ("Navigate to" and "Show on map").

To get the menuitems you have to
- Unzip the content to the folder where your PIMAddIn.dll resides
- run the pimaddin-register.lnk file
-> you get a "Warning": DLLregister... succeeded
- check in your contacts if you see the new menuitems at the bottom
To remove them, just run the pimaddin-unregister.lnk

You have to close the contacts application completely before changes apply - restart may be necessary.

Result of the register action are the entries below:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{3DBF43DF-A3B4-4418-ACEE-9558745FA2DE}
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Extensions\ContextMenus\AppView\MSContacts\{3DBF43DF-A3B4-4418-ACEE-9558745FA2DE}

If you like to have the contextmenu also in the menu for the Card itself, just copy the key content of {3DBF43DF-A3B4-4418-ACEE-9558745FA2DE} also below HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Extensions\ContextMenus\Contacts\Card_Menu

enjoy

P.S.: Who installed TTMobile via .cab may have these menus already.
P.P.S.: Users of the PPC version should have it already.
P.P.P.S.: Ref. XDA Developers you can use these TT 5.x PMADDINxx.dlls (if they are registered) also to steer TT6. Look for pmaddin.cab at xda-developers.
