Thanks for any feedback you have.
I agree with you on the cable side shame it cannot be hidden out of view that will being the perfect fit with the way the F10 dash is designed and the deep above the dials section.
Do you have photos of the system from driver seat too?

Hi Martin,
Unfortunately, I dont have armrest media cradle in my F10. I am using iPhone 6 fixed with Fix2Car cradle on my dashboard and charged thorugh cable hidden through the dashboard. GPS reception is very good and GPS fix is immanent.
I can try to put my iPhone in the arm rest compartment and see what is happening with GPS signal... Phones use also 3G/LTE network to improve location accurancy so they are not that dependant on satelittes as traditional GPS systems.
Here is the photo from the driver's seat:
