Since I bought my PDA-car-unit it seems impossible to squeeze the styles out of its holder since it's located at the bottem. This makes it hard to quickly jot down a not while in the car, or use GPS (finger it not always so accurate and I don't have my finger-styles with me all the time...). So here's how I fixed it. Don't know if it's any use to anyone, but wanted to share it nevertheless....

Bought a piece of electricity wire with the right diameter. Pulled out the metal 'vains' and glued a small piece of the wire to the hole in the CF card-dummy. I guess when you have a CF card you could alse glue the piece of wire to the rounded spares on the left and right of the CF card slot on the back.

Anyways, here's how it looks: Stylus holder (http://www.xs4all.nl/~mcoster/stylus_holder/)

Now i can quickly put my stylus on the top of my palm while in the car. Much faster than the original placeholder!
