I normally put my iphone in a soft case between the a/c vents next to the analog clock and it just fits into that alot perfectly and is snug, but last night I threw my phone screen side up next to the info screen and I saw that the display was reflected up onto the windshield like the photo below.

The image is reversed and in good focus, and I was confused as to how this was happening, as the hood over the info screen was definitely covering up the screen and I think that it must be a pinhole effect from the mesh cover just behind the screen hood.

Sorry if someone's posted on this before, been away from the forum for a while. I'm wondering if anyone has any useful applications of this? It only works when it's really dark outside and the screen is really bright, but the image is reversed.

Thanks,
Ryan

 

That photo was taken with the car off. Here is another with the car running and the display on.
