Got my SI just over a week ago, but Ive been doing my best to work on the functionality and integration of the electronics. So far, I have taken an iPod Gooseneck mount that fortunately also works for my iPhone, using a line-out at the very bottom of the gooseneck (right by the AUX in for the car) and put it right next to my Nav. This is awesome because with the use of a bluetooth earpiece, it will interrupt the music to answer the call, and as soon as someone hangs up, right back to the music.
