We have one in our Arrow, and I'd say it works as advertised. We just put
it on the glareshield, and it stays put in light turbulence. I wear an
older Bose headset, and I can just hear the audio alerts. The biggest
problem is that its high intensity LED display is unreadable in direct
sunlight. I fashioned a cardboard shade for it that helps.

Even worse than I thought. Others have told me that the light shows up
well, now it seems that is not necessarily the case. With my "old man's"
hearing, even before I started flying with ANL I seldom heard the typical stall
horn in a Cessna (something else that should be updated and wired to the audio
panel).

I really doubt that I would ever hear the tiny speaker on that unit over the din
of your average SEL plane and through the attenuation of my headset. It is
truly a shame, just the simple addition of a cheap headset interface could
elevate that little gizmo from a virtually usless gadget to a "must have".
