None of the cradles make sense to me. They are so 1980's.

The whole idea of bluetooth is to get in and out of the car with the phone in your pocket much like the comfort access fob. If you need to charge the phone then fine, plug in the cigarette adapter. But if you would rather use a cradle, I bet a dollar to a donut you forget your phone most of the time since it is hidden.
