I use a 4150 with a Brodit mount so I have no cables to unplug(the
Brodit has a connector in the base), just fit the ipag into the mount
and away...

The checkpoint software allows you to set the sound played as the
warnings(I have warnings triggered at 30seconds and 10 seconds before
cameras). I use wavs with police sirens going off...gets my attention
every time:). There is also a device which plugs into the audio out
socket in the ipag and connects into the car audio. Cant remember
much more, but I found it on the pocketgps web site.
