In car USB charging question

In my Seat Leon I have a cigarette lighter socket in the boot which I have plugged a usb converter into, then run a 3m USB extension through the car and plugged a 4 port USB splitter into that to charge multiple devices.

 

When I plug my Tom Tom into the splitter it thinks I'm connecting it to a computer. If I plug directly into the USB extension cable it doesn't, it just charges.

 

My question is, is there any way I can stop it thinking it's connecting to a computer? I took the splitter apart and found there's 4 wires running into it. I'm presuming 2 are for power and 2 for data transfer? Can I cut the data transfer wires just leaving the charge, or is there a better option?
