Does anyone know how the empeg deals with a really stiffened suspension?

FAQ Entry. Whether or not your particular car situation will exceed the G tolerances of the player is rather subjective and will change from road to road. I know that a G number isn't really helpful and doesn't answer your question, but we can't ride in your car to get a "feel" for how rough your car rides, so it's about the best we can do.

I will say two things, though:

1) The Rio Car is going to be better about this than any other MP3 player you can buy for the car, so you've at least got the right one for the job. Whether or not it's enough, I don't think anyone can answer that.

2) If it's constantly getting rough treatment, you should regularly pop the lid and make sure the rubber mounts have not popped out of the tray rails. This has been known to happen (even on Mk2 units although more rarely than Mk1 units).

Also, my car produces a lot of heat where the empeg will be going. What can I do to protect the empeg?
