Fusion CA-IP500: Next Generation of iPod Compatible Car Stereos?

It is not surprising that most new car models come complete with iPod compatibility on their stereos. However, most of these iPod compatible stereos usually just have a place to plug in the cable, which makes it awkward for the driver.

After all, many countries have laws that allow only hands-free phones, to prevent accidents from distraction. Yet what is more distracting for a driver than changing tracks on their iPod while behind the wheel? Another issue with this type of iPod cable set-up is theft. If a driver parks his or her car and leaves the iPod attached to the cable, it makes a tempting target for thieves.

I suppose this is why Fusion created the CA-IP500, which will literally swallow your iPod whole. This will allow the iPod playlist to be broadcasted through the car’s stereo system, and it can be accessed via the minimally distracting CA-IP500’s controls, which resemble iPod controls.

Other features include a dot-matrix OLED display, SRS Wos sound shaping, AM/FM tuner, 7-band equalizer, and it has a security code so only the driver can access his or her iPod. By the way, the CA-IP500 can also charge your iPod when it sits inside.

The CA-IP500 is priced at about $349, and is compatible with the iPod Touch Gen1 and Gen2, the iPod Classic Gen5, Gen6, Gen7, and the iPod Nano Gen2, Gen3 and Gen4.

SlingPlayer Mobile for iPhone

This is good!  couldnt wait for it!

We had a feeling it was coming any day now, but now we have confirmation that Sling won't be leaving iPhone and iPod touch users in the lurch when it comes to streaming TV to their devices. The bad news is the software they showed us was pre-alpha proof-of-concept, and their whole situation is hamstrung by the fact that Apple hasn't officially accepted them into the developer program yet. So what we've seen is basically an app developed out of bounds for jailbroken devices -- thus it goes without saying that Sling won't be releasing it until they can do so legitimately. But assuming all goes well, they do intend to get it out the door by sometime this fall or winter. No word yet on the Android release. Video of the app in action after the break.

About

iNdependence is a Cocoa-based application for Mac OS X which provides an easy-to-use interface for jailbreak, activation, SSH installation, and ringtone/wallpaper/application installation on your iPhone. It's open source under the GNU v2 license.

The source code for interacting with the iPhone has been broken out into a library (libPhoneInteraction) so that it can be easily reused by other applications.

PLEASE READ THE HELP FILES THOROUGHLY BEFORE POSTING AN ISSUE

Documentation is now available from the Help menu within the application itself. Please read all of it before you post an issue, email me, etc. I can guarantee that 99% of the problems you will encounter are answered there. The rest are likely well documented already in the FAQ or in the issues section. Please also check for duplicate issues there before posting a new one. I just don't have the time to go through the multitude of issues there (many of which are duplicates or simply usage questions and not real issues).

News

Feb. 14/08 - Lots of great feedback and helpful information is rolling into the Beta14KnownIssues wiki page.

Feb. 13/08 - ok, the 10.4 issues have been resolved. Version 1.4 beta 2 will work on both 10.4 and 10.5. No code changes from the first beta, just added 10.4 compatibility is all. Again, report any issues you're having with 1.4 beta 2 on the Beta14KnownIssues page (make sure to check for duplicates).

Feb. 13/08 - Jumped the gun a bit on that release. Seems that it crashes on 10.4.

Feb. 13/08 - It's finally here. Version 1.4 beta. There's still a few kinks to work out, but overall it works pretty well with phone firmware 1.1.3. I even managed to update the documentation a bit. PLEASE NOTE You must run iNdependence from your hard drive. Do not run it directly from the .dmg file. See the CHANGELOG and the README for details about this release.

Feb. 12/08 - Finally, a 1.1.3 jailbreak I feel comfortable with. Congrats to Zibri and his excellent ZiPhone application! He and Geohot are the real heroes. This is the jailbreak method I plan to use in the upcoming version of iNdependence. So make sure to donate to them as well if you plan to donate to me.

ER: seems like 1.1.3 is almost there.. i am tempted to try out the upgrade.. but the iphone is now my primary device and hacking it still seems scarry.. maybe i'd wait for a week to see how people think..
