On my drive to an from work I loose signal for about 30 seconds in the same place 90% of the time with my ATT phones. I would pay the $300 not to always loose connections.

Any more comments on signal strength?

You are correct. The picture is from a 5 series. The LCI model, at that. My 545i armrest does not look like that picture.

$330 total list price - not sure its worth that much, so I'll wait.

It would be worth it if it had connection to 6FL integrated into the kit.

But, since you basically have the choice between using the cradle for external antenna OR using as an iPod, this option has no value to me...
