This IRiver NV Life SiRF Star III GPS device features WinCE 5.0, FM-transmitter, dedicated SD slot, onboard flash, DMB TV (with GPS PiP support) and wide selection of codecs synonymous with the iriver name.

Some people may say this is a downside and the downside is the display which has 800 x 480 pixels covering 7-inches.

TuneFlex AUX: ideal if you have other Apple iPods
The TuneFlex is perfect for homes with more than one iPod, and allows you to play and charge your iPod as you drive. With a set of snap-on adapters to custom fit full-size iPod and iPod Nano models, TuneFlex AUX’s new, universal fit design allows the whole family to enjoy their choice of tunes.

The unit plugs securely into the 12V auto accessory port or cigarette lighter to charge and power the iPod, while TuneFlex’s flexible steel neck adjusts for maximum visibility of iPod screen and controls – this ensures easy and safe viewing. The 1/8” (3.5mm) stereo mini cable included connects TuneFlex to AUX-input-equipped stereos for clean, interference-free sound. TuneFlex AUX has the clean lines and ease-of-use of an expensive custom in-car mount for the iPod, without the drilling, cutting and inconvenience of custom installations.

‘As the iPod market continues to grow, and with it has developed the demand for accessories that facilitate the use of the iPod in every day situations,’ says Tony Johnson, International Account Manager for Griffin Technology. ‘We are proud of the success of our iTrip range and will continue to develop the technology in order to suit the latest iPod models and the vehicles they are being used in.’
