    I've seen a few people replace their truck's standard clock with 6th gen iPod Nanos. I would love to try this mod with a 7th gen Nano on my 2001 Tacoma, but I haven't seen it done in a Tacoma yet. The Nano looks like it would almost be a perfect fit, but before I go taking stuff apart I'd like to see one done so I could kind of have some guidelines, or know if i'd even like it. So any help would be nice!

    Here's some examples of it done in other vehicles http://www.photo-digital-electronic...-digital-clock-with-a-dash-mounted-ipod-nano/
    Something along these lines

    I think it's a badass idea. Pretty self explanatory. The second link shows how simple it could be.

    Dismount/Cut/Plug/Mount

    Makes me thinking about doing mine.

    If you do it, take picture!!!

    I think it's a cool idea but...

    I'll be the devil's advocate:

    I think it would be awkward (and potentially dangerous) to operate a Nano in the factory clock space on a 1st gen while driving.

    Just my opinion.

    Ipod nano would be too small and awkward, Ipod touch would be perfect though!

    I wouldn't operate it while driving. I would just use a clock app and have the USB hooked up to my radio. I would control everything with my stereo.:cool:

OME 885 with 5100's in front, TSB and AAL with 5125's in back. 30" light bar in the valance.
    This is an awesome idea.
    I will be the guinea pig in seeing how easy it is to use it while driving!
