Doesn't look as good from the passenger seat due to the support though.
As I said earlier (or on another thread), it seems a natural reaction to not think of the new model as being vastly better (if at all) over the old model that you own, as people naturally prefer to not have old tech.

My great worry is how distracting it will be. I have to say that I find myself with iD7 not concentrating on the road. Even the Mrs has noticed. From that perspective I cannot see it being safer putting so much on iD8. It's a bit like using your mobile while driving. though that is just conjecture as I haven't used iD8.
