Any Gouge On The Craven FlexPod For R53 w/Chrono?

I emailed Kellen at Craven about the FlexPod to ask an a$$ load of questions and am eagerly awaiting a reply. In the mean time, I thought it would be nice to post some of that email on the NAM to see what folks have to say.
************************************************** **************
1.] The biggest limiting factors of iPhones with the Dynolicious App are movement and orientation. I own a R53 with Chrono, and am concerned about how much vibration is generated from the different combination of Flextension Arms needed to complete a flexpod Bracket Z L/R with Garmin and iphone cradle set up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*As quoted from the Dynolicious Manual concerning Mounting Your iPhone:

-Proper mounting of the iPhone within the vehicle is critical for accurate results. Please use the following guidelines when selecting a mounting location and method:

+ The iPhone or iPod Touch must be aligned with the direction of travel. This means the screen must face toward the back of the vehicle, and the device may not be turned left or right. It may, however, be tilted up or down, at any angle from horizontal (screen facing up) to vertical (screen facing towards taillights).

+ The iPhone must not be allowed to move independently of the vehicle. This applies to flopping around in a cupholder, sliding on the passenger seat, or bouncing on a loose cradle.

+ If using a cradle, make sure it does not bounce or vibrate as the car moves. Cradles which have a long arm or weak attachment tend to provide worse results than simply placing the iPhone in a cup-holder.

+ If using a cup holder, make sure the iPhone is secure and cannot tilt back under acceleration. If need be, wedge a cloth or piece of foam around the iPhone to prevent movement.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2.] How much play and/or adjustment is there for the x and y and z axis orientation of the iphone cradle, if any?

[3.] What are the tips and tricks for cord management from FlexPod to power source?

[4.] How do you share power for the Garmin and iPhone?
