Scosche IU3.5RC 3.5mm Retractable CableReviewsExtends, retracts, and has been working for about a year now. Plus, its cheap! I wouldn't get anything else. This product normally retails for something like $20 at Best buy and I got it at a steal here. I initially bought one that wasn't retractable at Best Buy for $12.99. I decided that I didn't like the cord, so I decided to look online for the retractable ones. This works great and it doesn't have the long cord to get in the way of my car radio system. Love it!!! I had another not retractable cord which didn't give me any issues. This one however, seems to be very particular. It will work as long as there is no sideways pressure on the chord. but if the player is situated so that the chord is being pushed slightly to one side it does not make a good connection. This may be partly due to my player, but the chord I had before worked fine. This product lasted about a year before I had to start to shimmy and mess around with the cable position to have both L and R audio. I expect it to die soon and may or may not order it again. I purchased this for my car with the idea that a retractable cable would keep my car clean. Unfortunately, the retracting mechanism doesn't work very easily. Also, the cable is way too thin, enough to make you feel like it could rip at any point you pull on it. Low quality product that only lasted me a week. Average Rating: |

Sony XAMC10 External Mic for BT (Black)ReviewsMost have you have the radio. makes a world of difference - to those hearing you I have a Pioneer AVIC F90-BT and would hear complaints from the people I called that I sounded far away. I decided to get this mic to improve the sound quality but unfortunately was told by the person on the other line that now I sound like I'm far away, in a cave. This was with the Sony mic in the same place as the Pioneer. Other than the Sony branding this mic seems to be exactly like the one that was included with my AVIC navigation unit but perhaps the internals are of lesser quality. I would imagine that this is much better than a built-in, but it was actually worse than the Pioneer external mic to which it was compared. What you see is what you get. All the necessary parts and documentation are there, not that it requires any documentation because installation is simple. I've had it for a couple months and it's worked just as well as I'd hoped it would. This is certainly better than just using the mic on the radio. My wife does not have to yell anymore for me to hear her. Very easy setup, just plug in and put it where you want it. There isn't much you can say about a microphone, but if your radio is compatible with this one, installation is easy and sound quality is good. Average Rating: |

Pioneer CD-IU230V Ipod Audio/Video Direct Cable For Avic-F900Bt & Avic-F700BtReviewsAfter some time it starts get loose and deliver noise thruogh letf or right channel speakers. Get the Apple cable, works perfect. I installed this cable about 8 months ago and could not have been happier. Occasionally the connection would fail but it was nothing reconnecting the iPhone couldn't solve. Sound quality was fine. No complaints. About a month ago however, I began experiencing strange failures. Either the passenger-side speakers/sub in my 370z wouldn't work at all with sound only coming through the driver's side. Occasionally, the connection would come through full of static, extremely muted or "fuzzy". These symptoms became permanent yesterday. For a $50.00 cable, less than a year of use before failure is utterly unacceptable. Now I have to go through the hassle of taking my headunit out to install another cable. I'm going to try the Apple version (assuming it will work) rather than this shoddy knockoff. Although this is a refurbished item, I do not have any problems with it at all. I used this to connect my Ipod classic (1st generation) to the Pioneer X910BT. I do not disconnect them a lot, and the Ipod is always connected. The sound quality and the video quality seems alright. LIke others i too had a problem with this cable getting only audio from the drivers side of my vehicle. I have the 910bt in a 04 navigator and the cable worked fine for about 3 months, right when the warranty runs out, i begin to have problems. After contacting Pioneer, they basically told me "too bad, replace the cable." So now not only have i paid over $1k for my navigation, pioneer doesnt even stand by their product. Its obviously a manufacturer defect. Not much to say... it's a cable, and it works. It would have been nice if the USB portion of it were longer - but that's a manufacturing issue, not the seller's. The seller was excellent... sent it on time and it was well packaged. Average Rating: |

The CD-IU230V interface cable lets you connect your iPod to Pioneer's AVIC-F700BT or AVIC-F900BT in-dash navigation receivers, so you can access your iPod with voice commands or with the receiver's touchscreen controls. |

Development
The Viper was conceived as a historical take on the classic American sports car. The iconic AC Cobra was a source of inspiration, and the final version of the Viper bears this out with its powerful engine, minimalist straightforward design, muscular and aggressive styling, and high performance. Some saw claims to kinship with the Cobra as a marketing exercise, ignoring that Carroll Shelby was heavily involved in the initial design of the Viper, and subsequent design of the Viper GTS coupe. Notably, the later (1996 through 2002) Viper GTS coupe took a few design cues from the Pete Brock designed Shelby Cobra Daytona. Though the proportions seem similar at first glance, the designs are quite unique. Carroll Shelby was key in the development of the R/T 10 as well as having a hand in the development of the GTS model.
The Viper was initially conceived in late 1988 at Chrysler's Advanced Design Studios. The following February, Chrysler president Bob Lutz suggested to Tom Gale at Chrysler Design that the company should consider producing a modern Cobra, and a clay model was presented to Lutz a few months later. Produced in sheet metal by Metalcrafters, the car appeared as a concept at the North American International Auto Show in 1989. Public reaction was so enthusiastic, that chief engineer Roy Sjoberg was directed to develop it as a standard production vehicle.
Sjoberg selected 85 engineers to be "Team Viper," with development beginning in March 1989. The team asked the then-Chrysler subsidiary Lamborghini to cast some prototype aluminum blocks based on Dodge's V10 truck engine for sports car use in May. The production body was completed in the fall, with a chassis prototype running in December. Though a V8 was first used in the test mule, the V10, which the production car was meant to use, was ready in February 1990.
Official approval from Chrysler chairman Lee Iacocca came in May 1990. One year later, Carroll Shelby piloted a pre-production car as the pace vehicle in the Indianapolis 500 race. In November 1991, the car was released to reviewers with first retail shipments beginning in January 1992.
