April 28th 2009 Pictures created with a cool app on my iPhone:
The first pic is the iPod touch that I drug down the road about 300 yards, it was hanging out the door "secured" by the AInet cable. It finally fell off, I found it facedown on the highway. I saw a Grandma car run over it, I probably ran over it a couple of times myself whilst looking for it. I highly recommend using a Griffin protective case. The worst damage I could find was dirt. It's been about two months & it still plays & does everything else it should. I now use an iPhone that connects into the Alpine's AInet with an iSimple cable. I highly recommend using a cable that recharges the iPhone or iPod that also dirves the lead signal through RCA connectors and not using the headphone output. The newer iPhones/iPods provide a very clean signal using the plug on the bottom of the unit, coming out of the headphone output can overdrive your head unit's circutry & mess EVERYTHING up. I bought the iSimple connector from electech1 on ebay. If you use a cable or docking station designed for 1st & 2nd generation iPods, your signal will not be as clean, if it works at all. I learned all of this after spending way too much money. Be sure to use some kind of holder to safely hold the iPhone/iPod in place, my iTouch would have probably have been lost had the weather not been so bad, I was driving slow because the road was snow covered, by the way it's been almost a year & that thing still plays.

Street Scene logo was printed on the mirror upside-down!
The pic doesn't show it, but the refelctor bounces light back as if it's coming out of a prism, it gives a really cool visual.
