I am looking to add Iphone charging capability to my car and I am unsure which option is best.

the options are:
1. BMW OEM Iphone cradle: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-Phone-Cradle-Holder-84212158682-Apple-iphone-3G-3GS-/170451830035?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27afb88513
or

2. Spec Dock: http://www.2point5.com/

Do i go fully integrated with the spec doc or is this dangerous having the capability to watch films on the go?

I like the integrated dock. The phone stays cool under the armrest and it's stealthy.

Have you considered Brodit products??

http://www.brodit.com

I have a Brodit Proclip in my E60 M-Sport (mounted over passenger side central airvent).
On that I have one of their cradles for my Blackberry.
You can get various types for most phones.
  • Cradle only
  • Cradle with power cable to cig lighter socket
  • Cradle with fused power cable that can be hard-wired in behind the dash

Not only that, but they are already working on iPhone cradles to suit the new iPhone 4 bumper etc.

These are great value, good quality products, and remember, that at least you can see emails/texts popping in if it's on the dashboard in front of you at eye level, something that you can't if you stow it away in the centre armrest.
