First Impressions in no particular order:
1) The phone plugs into the dock; and the charging cable plugs into the back of the dock. One end of the cradle has a micro-USB plug which mates with the phone.
2) There are better mounting arm designs out there. If you have to mount it on the dash, the display is going to be at an angle. My current dock has a better suction cup, this one will work with glass or with a provided disk that you can attach to the dash.
3) Putting/plugging the phone into the dock activates car mode. If you are on Verizon, it initiates Verizon Navigator - until you disable it. (Disabling apps is super easy on the Moto X - unlike my previous phone.)
4) The cradle appears well designed. It does not interfere with access to the control buttons. While the micro-USB should hold one side in place, whether the other end will survive a bumpy ride is up in the air. (They just repaved my commute route. We'll see what happens after the winter when the road gets beat up a bit.)
5) Car Mode ... who knew. It isolates the icons for voice search and Google Now on the left side of the screen. It also puts the display in landscape mode; that's a plus.
Now to figure out where to mount it.
