I've been using the DG10 since August and thought I should add a few bits on to this as it might help others out.
I'm personally not a huge fan of the over ear units when using sunglasses so I have a pair of
these with a custom connector. The Rita and Dan at gprdirect.com sorted them out for me but they aren't cheap (£300 plus ear molds if you don't already have them).

Stilo DG10 is a nice bit of kit - but it is important to reaslise that it is NOT waterproof so some means of effectively protecting it from the rain/puddles would need to be devised for use in a Nomad or Atom.
I've now driven the car in seriously heavy rain and my solution for waterproofing seems to be working in all weather the only downside is you loose easy access to the controls but I never used them after the initial setup anyway.
You'll need the following:

The DG10 doesn't quite fit (parts circled in red stick out to much) in the enclosure above but 10 minutes with a dremel to remove a little bit of material (don't go all the way through!) lets it fit in tightly without the rubber port covers. A bit of velcro holds the DG10 in the box to prevent any movement whilst driving
If you don't feel like modifying the box there are plenty of larger IP65/66 boxes available but I found they were normally significantly larger than required.

I made an extension to the power cable by soldering on a longer lead with an approx. 4mm diameter wire pair to ensure it seals properly in the gland. I've currently got the gland installed in the lid but I suspect you could just about get it into the box body (I bought a spare box to try at some point).
I've mounted the box under the passenger seat using velcro so I can remove it if require but I just leave it in place at the moment.
I may add some more photos if I can ever be bothered to remove it from the car again...
I now plan to buy a pair of
connectors which I will secure to the car/seats to help tidy the cables away when not in use.
