1) Ok
2) True, I didn't believe it and got explained why. The iPhone doesn't have any antenna pin, the system brings in the signal with a small antenna in the same cradle. So it's like having a local antenna booster in the armrest.
3) I don't fully agree, the cradle takes a lot of space in the armrest that I would have kept.
4) Ok, but there are many others!
