Compass & iPhone
I just odered a Daystar dash panel. Wanted a place to put my iPhone. However, I have since read that putting my cell in the panel will cause the compass to read incorrect since its mounted to the bottom of the Daystar panel. Anyone had this problem?

yeah, it does happen. If I put mine in the flat area closest to the windshield the factory compass seems to work fine. If I really need a compass I can just fire up the compass app on the iPhone
Most of the time I am using skobbler on the iPhone for navigation anyways

must be an Ipod only thing. I have a blackberry storm with a garmin program on it. I've never seen it screw up my compass. I also keep it in the slot closest to the windshield.

Seriously!? you cancelled your order over that? My Blackberry Storm has the same affect on it. When it's in the front cubby, the compass always reads NE. But come on, do you actually use that compass? Who's driving down the road going, "Oh, no, I'm on 95 South, but the compass says SW, I need to stop and check my map!!"??
