there are a lot of different phone mounts for cars. I saw one that went inside the cd player, and another that was fastened to the cup holder. the torque pro with the smartphone is the cheapest because most people already have an android device. the advantage of the aeroforce is the convenience offered to be able to mount it once and forget it, but at 225 for a new one, the cost is up there. a data rate of 1 second is way too slow for anyone to even consider using.
