I skipped it, I didn't want the dock taking up a bunch of space in the center console. It seemed to basically cater to the iphone with a few features for blackberry as well and I didn't want to lock myself into a phone type to integrate into my vehicle. I figured if it really ever offers something I may want, I'll just retrofit it through coding. The normal usb cord works fine for my ipods and iphone and it displays the album art which was good enough for me.
