Satillte works
Full 3D nav without a 2g upgrade
All sync, Bluetooth audio etc still work

Cons:
Rear view camera looks aftermarket, not as clean as the factory mount integrated into the wing.
Instructions stink. I used youtube.
The factory mislabeled a wire connection so my sync voice command and navigation voice did not go out on the speakers. Called AM they told me to switch the wire and it has worked flawlessly. Bad part was I had to take the console apart again to switch it but doing it already it took me a 1/3 of the time.

After watching that video about the magnetic mount why not just get this and save a few hundred?

Serves the same purpose as the fancy magnetic one. If you have just a wifi ipad the thing would be worthless unless you tether it to your phone to get nav info. No charging capabilities either? Ill just keep my Ipad in my bag when driving.
The reason is to keep an oem look. I don't have just the wifi model. Make sure to get the cellular model with the gps chip to get free nav. I'm taking it out every time I leave the car so charging isn't a problem for me. And the screen is much bigger than the raxiom. Like I said it's not for everyone but its a nice alternative with an oem finish and large screen that does everything.
