Had Navigon for a long time. Garmin, especially after a few revisions, is not my gold standard. I use Google when I'm in the city, but Garmin for longer trips.

If you have a CD player in the dash this works really well.

I plan on making a piece to hold the phone that mounts in the ash tray location. Once I get my prototype done ill post pics to see if people like it. If so I do plan to bring this to market if it comes out as planned.

I guess the end result is similar to above.

Right now I have I like that using an otter box case, as recommended by 9ball. It works but I want something a bit more sturdy.

You'd be surprised at how sturdy it is, and that's with just a little tiny case. Must be a tight fit with a gigantic tank for a phone case!

I bought a cheap mount with a suction cup that i can wedge into the ash tray - so this is where my iPhone is mounted now. Easy to remove when not required and not obtrusive.

I have a radio that support Bluetooth. I can use it as a handsfree but also stream BT music.

Not that I hear a lot, particularly when the roof is down ...

Yup - they are. The interface is so much better on the Garmin, though. Faster, too.

I use a Motorola Droid Razr windshield mount for my daily, but I like the GripGo for the weekend cars. It works as advertised.
