How Are You Guys "Mounting" Your iPods?

Do you use the Aux jack then? I was looking at your pictures to see if you showed how you did it and only saw the one. Looked like you just ran the chord out the corner of the center box. Part of the problem with that for me is that my ipod power chord has an aux jack on its connection so that you get the best sound quality. (if you use the headphone jack on the top of the ipod, its amplified and distorted. If you use a USB or jack into the bottom, the amplification and equalizer are neutralized, etc. Im sure you knew that...)

Hmm...Ill have to look at everyones pictures and mounts. I frequently need to take mine out of the car so I need something relatively hand that way. I also use the stock JBL, so changing songs etc. through the dash is not an option right now...I need to be able to use the ipod interface.

 

I have an 07 and I don't have an Aux jack.

I'm using the ipod2car unit that plugs into the external CD port on the back of the stock head unit.

 

i keep mine in the comparment next to the shifter

 

DMB did you get that grommet at a hardware store or something? Im thinking about doing the exact same thing that you have done. Looks FAR better than the cable jungle Im running right now. Also Id love to see the ipod text on the stock radio and have steering wheel controls.

What do you think of the PA15-TOY now that you have used it for awhile?

 

Here is mine

Nano 2nd gen with rubber protector.

I just set it to Top Rated Shuffle and control it via the HU

 

Drilled a hole in my cup holder and sits upside down. but now after seeing all these, i may relocate. Damn u guys!! i thought i was good to go.

 

I really like the finish out on your design, although there is one thing I do not like about this design though. It would require me to take my Ipod out from its location on the console and put it out of site (glove box) or risk having someone smash my window for an ipod.

 

Small price to pay for such a nice setup IMO.

 

mines basically the same except i have it velcroed to the side. i also have the Imprint Module in the little CD holdin area behind where the net attaches

 

i have yet to buy an ipod ... HAHAHA

 

So that's what an automatic taco looks like. Cool. That's a nice neat install of your iPod thing...

 

ooohh... I like the safe! Where'd ya get it and how is it mounted? bolted to the bottom from the inside to secure it??

 

Here you go, all you ever needed to know about the Console Vault.

Maybe the discount is still on.............

 

Too bad.... you store all your CD's in your truck and put CD's in the radio and take 'em out. Too much physical labor for me. (J/K)

 

Keep mine in my glovebox.

 

When I used CDs on my vehicle they were copies and the originals were at home in their cases, with time some develop defects that rendered useless so I made new copies and replaced them as needed.

With the Ipod I don't need to carry around CDs and don't need to deal with CD magazines reloads for a CD changer.

 

Will any mp3 player work?

 

Yeah I got the grommets at Lowes, next to the bolt/screw section. I still love this adapter. Since I use mine in direct-mode I don't see the Song/Artist name in the stereo display. I see the track number or something. But it's no biggy.

 

Just finished my install and thats exactly how I set mine up, out of plain sight.
