What is iPod Out?
iPod Out is a new feature from Apple in iOS5, which allows an iPod / iPhone* to display an iPod interface on
a connected external screen, and the G2 cradle (A-DCR-200-AVO) lets you do just that. It outputs the iPod
music interface screen to your rear seat entertainment system for an easy access operation.
Do NOT operate iPod while driving. Watching the screen and making selection while driving can lead to serious accident.
