I understand this new dock will allow users to get all the Sirius/XM channels but $120 seems high for the hardware. The vehicle kit for their most expensive radio (Stiletto 2) is only $50.

Seriously. Don't buy it.

I plan on getting it when it becomes available.

One problem that i haven't seem mentioned with this is that if apple updates the design of the iphone in the future will it still fit in this?

I have a feeling this is going to be just like the TomTom app where if someone calls you, say goodbye to listening to music because the iphone can't handle the phone and Sirius/XM app at the same time. $120 seems really steep too. You might as well go out and buy a better one from Sirius/XM instead of this one.

I have a feeling you will be one of very few buying this dock.

I'll be sticking with my Stiletto dock and keep my iphone as a phone while in the car.

Vote with your wallet, don't buy one. Some people see the value in it, I don't.
