Be sure to order the battery door with the bump on it that goes with it for $1.50 if you don't have one already, I see the doors come in black or silver.
Also there is a $5 coupon out there for purchases over $20 if you google "accstation coupon" Coupon Code: X3Q407

No, I don't get any kickbacks for doing this. Just good info! I also noticed that they have the plug that converts the 2.5mm cellphone plug to 3.5mm stereo for really cheap. With that and an FM Modulator, I soon hope to have my car rockin' Apache style!
I hope this info helps someone. =)

Just a heads up about the 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter they have listed on the page. The one pictured only has 3 silver contact bands on the 2.5mm male jack, this will not give you stereo audio. The 2.5mm jack on your Apache supports stereo audio out, plus mic in. You need a 2.5mm male jack with 4 silver contact bands on it, which will carry left channel, right channel, microphone, and ground. I was able to find one at my local radio shack for $9.99 (yikes, I know)
Anyways, I just wanted to let you know before you got too excited, you should investigate this a little further first. Perhaps the item they are actually selling is different that what they have pictured, but who knows.
And just to make myself clear, the 2.5mm male jack with 3 silver bands can give you stereo output from your Apache, but you have to plug it in all the way, and then pull it out slightly, about 1/4 of the way, until you hear the other channel come on. This will work in a pinch, but very aggravating as there is no detent to keep it in this position, and the slightest force against it will cause movement, and then lots of static.
