I bought and installed the raxiom unit from AM a little over a month ago. I like having all the sync options and steering wheel controls available. Installation is not bad, if you have some skill it’s a breeze. I installed the rear view camera also. The pros are:
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.
