Temporary low volume solution

I picked up a case this weekend from CompUSA. It's about the size of two PDA cases and has an amplified powered by a 9v battery. It has *plenty* of volume.

Found something I like better. I plug in this small FM transmitter and play the navigation through the radio.

$29.95 from Radio Shack

Hi,

I found an interesting box (FastMute) which make it possible to connect ANY PDA to your car speakers(stereo).
No special radio required.
The box has a Mute-Generator (VOX) implemented.
In the moment (5ms later) the internal car speakers are switched off and the PDA sound comes amplified (9W Sin) to your car speakers.
There is only one 2 wire connection, from the ear phone jack to that box.
2 sec after the PDA sound has finished the speaker will be switched back (fall back) to your radio.
If you have a DIN loudspeaker connector just remove connectors from your radio and plug this box in between, connect to earphone output and power it, thats all.

Add On implemented for PDA MP3 users.
Autodetect for music. If the box is detecting music the fall back time will now be changed from 2s to now 15s. So no low volume music will cause any jitter in switching.

You can find this box here

The only problem is, that all informations are in German.
If there is some interest, I can translate the main items
