First and foremost AirGizmo was committed to keeping the "footprint" of the Panel Dock to an absolute minimum. The Garmin 696 is already 5.7" wide by 7.7" high. AirGizmo absolutely had to stay within the 6.25" width of a standard radio stack, and they really wanted the overall height to be as short as possible. The solution is a latching mechanism that is virtually invisible from the front of the dock and does not protrude beyond the overall footprint of 6.25" by 8".
Next, they needed to provide a way to manage the cables that connect to the Garmin 696. As with other AirGizmo Panel Docks, they have provided keyholes that capture the cables and keep them from falling into the panel. The 696 is installed into the dock by resting the bottom of the GPS on the Panel Dock and attaching the cables. Then the GPS is snapped into the Panel Dock and finally it is latched in place using the latching wheel located on the right side of the dock.
The 695/696 Panel Dock allows you to securely mount your GPS in your panel while allowing you to remove the GPS from the plane quickly and easily. The result is a streamlined and professional installation that adds to the functionality of the GPS.

Review:
This mount will put your Garmin 696 in very cleanly. Snaps in and out very nicely. One issue I've had is there seems to be some pressure/vibrations exerted on the XM antenna port. This has caused the actual port on the GPS to come so loose that it no longer connects, resulting in having to send the entire 696 back into Garmin to be fixed (Happened twice). Only fix I've found is to carve out the plastic in the area of the port.
I did not order from MyPilotStore and, instead, ordered directly from the manufacturer. One negative plug for AirGizmos...Don't count on timely shipping from them. I ordered a part from them on a Friday afternoon, and selected three day shipping to ensure I had it by the following Friday for a weekend trip. It didn't ship until Wed and didn't make it in time for my trip that weekend. When I called Max about it, he told me the order got filled late because "people were on vacation" and he didn't seem interested in making it right by me. So if you need something in a timely manner, I suggest you follow up ASAP or order it through a retailer such as MyPilotStore.
