I guess, pretty much what you do with a regular laptop, like posting threads on the ROC. :cool:

What did you use to tie in the factory HU?

How are you using the Treo for internet? Cable, bluetooth? How about handsfree?

Have you found any particularly useful/clever way to mount your Treo in your RL? Have been a Treo fanatic since the 600 (now use a 700p) and it's an invaluable tool when out of the office. Use a Bluetooth headset (handsfree is mandatory here in NY) and would like a convenient spot to mount it so can see the screen easily from behind the wheel.

- Proclipusa.com (http://www.proclipusa.com) is the only way to go. Good clean temparary mounts that work! I have used proclip for 3 years now. Check out this post. (http://www.ridgelineownersclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6136) I had my mounted left of the HU set higher up; to keep the road in view while using. :) I really enjoyed having it there. I can no longer use my proclip for the Ridge because I got the metallic dash trim from Honda. You wanna buy mine?

- USASpec Honda adapter, check out my post on the install of the Aux adapter (http://www.ridgelineownersclub.com/forums/showpost.php?p=102869&postcount=29)
- I use bluetooth for conveninance. PDANet (http://junefabrics.com/)and a cable is much faster
- the speaker phone works great for me. Otherwise I like the Treo branded headphones I got with the mic on it. A bluetooth headset would be ideal.
