ive been looking around for a good ipod holder for the car. everything i found was way over priced in the 30-40$ price range, and i couldnt find anything that would work well with our car. i went to my locall dollar store and found a car cell phone holder for 1$. it took a little modification to mount it in, but i think it turned out great!

i also decided to take some pics of the interrior using Defgephs camera mount.

I faced the iPod mounting dilema about 6 months ago and the end product came out awesome. About $15ish bux on eBay and you're rockin away.

I got the dock and cut a piece of sheet metal to fit in the little bracket behind the cradle so that it would slide into the crack between the stereo and edge of the center console (really easy I can post pictures later).

Then i got the Belkin Car Kit because it came with a line out on the non-dock end of the cable so that only one wire would power the iPod and move the audio.

I then just ran a regular RCA to mini from my stereo to the end of the Belkin adaptor. The fun part was adding another cigarette jack behind the current one so that I could free up the external one for my cellphone or w/e and so that all of the cables would stay beind the stereo and climate control. i ran the dock connector to the iPod out in the 3-way crack between the stereo, th climate control panel and the edge of the console and left about 2-3" of play.

It turned out awesome in the end. I'll post pix later when I can get my digi out of my buddy's car.



post some pics up soon. id like to compare our setups. the car holder you have looks basically like the one i bought. a cheap vent cell phone holder.

i like that belkin charger. ive been looking around for something that gives it power and sends audio through one cable, but dint think anything like that existed. all the ones i found had an FM tuner.
