It’s advertised as a “Complete GPS Solution”, but doesn’t include the 70 dollar navigation software! The iphone is tricky to get in and out so it doesn’t act as a convenient car dock.
Much better off buying a GPS for the $200 dollars this costs in total.
Magellan should be ashamed of themselves.

I bought this $130 “complete navigation solution” as it it billed to use with an iPhone or iPod, only to learn that it requires the $60 Magellan application sold separately. What a huge disappointment! If I wanted to spend $190 on a navigation system, I would have bought one complete . . . rather than a “solution” which doesn’t work without an additional purchase.
This is on-top of a near 2-month delay to receive this product. I ordered the product in November with promised delivery in December. December came and went, and Xmas was missed . . . presumably by the manufacturer. I received a delay notice from Amazon & cancelled the order. Then it shipped anyway. Another disappointment.
Don’t jump on this one . . . I fully expect the price to come down . . . lots. No way it this worth $130 FOR A CRADLE. In fact, you will be able to find mine for sale on *bay.

The suction cup doesn’t hold the device to my car. I tried repeatedly to attach it and it fell off after two minutes. I followed all instructions, cleaned all surfaces properly but it still fell off. It’s about as frustrating as it could be. What was Magellan thinking? Didn’t they test these things?

I love my new Magellan car kit for iphone. At first I was not sure about getting it for my iphone, but after viewing some demo videos online I realized it was a must have for me. Went to magellan to order it and was recommended to autonavdirect and got it from them very quickly. If you have an iphone with the roadmate app, get the car kit and you will not be disappointed. Great design and really enhances my iphone.

To begin. . . let me say that I have purchased many cheaper car cradles for my iPhone and almost all of them are cheaply made and break easily. I was looking for a replacement when I came across this unit. The $129 is a price barrier for most(including me), but I took the chance and believe it has already paid off.
I installed this in my car two days ago, and I have to say it is working great. The bluetooth works excellent and the sound quality is great (do not know what the other buyers problem was). I might have to add that the bluetooth works too great. . . it connects to my phone when I am in the house! The construction of this model is sturdy, I have found no areas of weakness (like other models, particularly the horizontal/vertical knob).
I use GPS Drive by MotionX ($2. 99) in the app store. The program works with the cradle with no problems. I would never spend $60+ for a navigation app when these cheaper programs work just as good.
The only problems I hope to solve with this unit are:
1)This unit does not power off when I cut my car off (could be an issue with my car)
2)When I play music using this unit (which is connected to my stereo using the AUX connector), it comes out through my car stereo AND the speaker on the unit. It’s not a horrible thing, but I like to be able to control the sound with one volume control (my car stereo), not both. I do have to say, the music doesn’t sound too bad through the cradle speaker.
These problems are minor to me, and I will be using this unit for a long time. If you are debating purchasing one, I highly recommend that you do. You will not regret it.
