Other than it might use a lot of data (not a problem if you have unlimited data but could be a problem if you don't).
Exactly
If I'm taking a long trip in mine, I'll just use the music onboard when I don't feel like burning data or don't have the signal for it (I get 15GB/mo between two lines), but it's definitely a consideration
On my motorcycle, I listen to Pandora when I'm riding unless I'm riding out to San Diego, then I just listen to the 9GB of music on my SD card since I'll lose signal in the mountains (I keep my phone inside an inner pocket of my jacket, so I can't just change my music)
In the car, you can switch back and forth as necessary
Those who are using a suction cup or other cell mount: which mounts are you using and where are you running the AUX capable out from behind the stereo? When I tore the car apart to replace the trans, I had the AUX and USB charger wiring running into the center console and kept my phone in there, but I've been happily using a suction cup mount in the work trucks and my beater rig; it's nice to have the phone accessible for changing music choices, using GPS, and answering calls (like an "antiquated" hands-free device of sorts, with the mic on the phone picking up your voice and the person on the other end coming through your speakers)
I don't consider this a thread-jack because it IS related
If you drive cross-country at all, you will be better off using a dedicated Sirius/XM satellite receiver than using your phone to stream it, as that requires that you have data all the time whereas the satellite receiver only needs line of sight with the satellite
If you only drive in areas with 100% cell signal, that isn't a problem
Go point. I'm doing the power tour this year so hadn't thought about it but will probably lose signal from time to time. Thanks. Maybe the separate receiver will be a better option.
I mounted mine in the cup holder, modified the phone base to mount in side the cup holder and added a cup holder of all things !!!!!

Download a free program like Irfan, open your pic with it then click on image in drop down menu choose rotate. Make sure to save your pic after doing this.
