Where do you guys put your Ipods in your car? Do you use some sort of mount or just tuck away somewhere? Not trying to get an aftermarket stereo to support straight Ipod connection so I've just been using an FM transmitter.

Pics please.

A lot of guys just go in Home Depot and get some heavy duty velcro and stick it on the dash so it's right in front of them. Then you can easily remove it for the house or another vehicle. After you're done with the car the velcro can be removed.

Some people use the little pop open hatch inside the center console to hold the iPlod. I use a Zune, so technically I don't exist, or I would post pics.


Of course those people who use the center console more than likely have the aux input inside the center console....

That is an awesome idea, thanks!

post the Zune pic if you can please. Don't matter really, similar sizes and all. Not sure if I'd like having to open up the center armrest every time I wanted to change my song or album. Got an 06 so no aux input.

Your pics matter, besides...I used to have a Zune too.

Just get an aftermarket headunit, so much better.

I know, I know...but I'm saving that money for other stuff.

Your right it is a pain in the ass. I normally put mine on shuffle inside the console, or u can buy a "cup holder insert." You can run the single aux input cable out of the center console and close the center console.
Here is the link to the cup holder

I've got the Pioneer AVIC-Z2 with the module mounted on the transmission tunnel underneath the center console and than the cable is run into the actual center console through that little door and than I have it velcro'd on the back.

Yeah, maybe someday I'll get a new headunit, but for now I just wanna figure out where to put my ipod and keep it looking clean.

 

[UrbanRedneck]

I have the aux in in the console, so I just set the ipod on the passanger seat or in the cupholder and close the console door on the cable. But I'm lazy. Someday I'll get a mount for it and put it somewhere more sophisticated, but this car sucks for storage and placing things. If I ever get around to it I'll post a pic. I just haven't bothered yet cause I just have a 1 gig nano that I got for free. I'm about a month away from having enough points on my rewards card for a free 120 gig ipod though, so then I'll actually put an effort into it.

Thanks for the pic Emay. You have an aftermarket head unit too though right? Do you control your Ipod from it or still have to use the actual Ipod?

 

[06RedfireGT]

He has an aftermarket Pioneer touchscreen unit.

That's what I thought.

 

[bigpappy33]

[stanglifemike]

Wish I had an aux. port.....

How much was the headunit? Does it control the ipod or do you still have to physically use the ipod to change songs and albums?

No more pics anyone? Ideas?

when i had my d3 i left my ipod in the console where you leave your owners manual and insurance.. i get the security of locking it and taking it out to update songs anytime.. it was a good spot!
