IPOD dock in car

April 21, 2006, 11:12:04 AM

Anyone have an ipod with Apple's dock (no other brand)? Its just slightly bigger than the bracket for the center console ashtray lid, but I'd like to mount it there on the lower side...it'd fit and look perfect. Just looking for ideas, while keeping the lid functional. Of course, the ash tray itself would be permanently removed.

If I can, I'll try to get pictures later today or Sunday.

Yeah that's pretty much the same thing i'm doing. however i'm mounting mine flush with the top and completely removing the lid.. so the ipod can slip in and out with no hassles

I'm doing the same thing...haven't really found a perfect solution for it yet though. What I made last summer didn't hold up well. I do have to come up with something soon though. Maybe we should collaborate.

Glad I'm not the only one. Thinking about it, the base should be able to swivel also. Guess pictures aren't needed
