Take care - only "free" if your mobile contract has data included in your bundle. You will also need an HSDPA enabled sim and be on a network with HSDPA (or at least 3G) . If you have these then yes "free" as long as you stay in your bundle limits. Not sure that the hardware is anything special though - I would suggest a PAYG mobile broadband USB modem. You can get them from £40 from "3" who I reckon have the best mobile data network and are also aggressively extending their HSDPA coverage (they refer to it as Turbo). Depends of course where you are as to how good your coverage is.

yeah I understand, 99% of AT&T iphone users have the data plan already, and 3G. AT&T in the US has coverage everywhere you go. From RRS side

Hi wiggs;
I am very impressed with your determination and skills, well done. This is what I call hacking, perfect.
I was looking through the posts, and your idea may solve some of the other issues/hacks we have been doing with the DVD and the reversing camera.
If the 4xwire flat ribbon cable that goes to the screen could be intercepted by your relay board and instead of the computer interface we had video source either from the camera or DVD, do you think this could work.
I managed to wire my DVD to the Sat screen, but it is a bit of a pain to touch the special place on the screen for 5 seconds, then 753 blah blah, your relay/switch is much better.
What do you think?
Thanks

No ..it wont work 
The 4 wires im interupting are just from the touch screen overlay ...all they do is give you a co-ordinate when you touch the touch screen .
These then get converted to a usb signal through the little circuit board G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

All you have to do is purchase a module that allows you to have video in motion so you dont have to do the 753 trick. From RRS side
