Ipod placement

What is the most convenient place to place an ipod and hide most of the wiring ( charger and audio/video cable)?? Are there any special holders. if you have pics of your setup, please post.

I could just be delirious because it's the morning, but I could have sworn that a guy on the org modified his ashtray to hold the iPod base. That way, all the wiring was hidden, and it served as a stealthy way to add iPod capability

I remember a cup holder...not sure I remember that ashtray holder but that would be cool to see. I have an adapter that plugs into the cig lighter so my ipod sits right next to me inbetween the seat and cup holders. Blends right in since everything is black and works great. Might tap it into the Bose hu but Im not sure yet.

Yeah but thats only for aftermarket headunits. Plus it usually costs about $100 for that wiring kit.

I have a Alpine H/U with a single IPOD cable for music and charging (H/U controls the IPOD). I ran the cable into my center stack compartment (with the flip down door). Works great and I do not have to hide my IPOD when parking.

how about this:



it sits in the ash tray pretty well actually. and the cord that plugs into goes from the back of the CD player hidden under the center console trim and comes up next to the seat.

Shave your cup holders (97 and up with the flip cover) and make a mount for it. Run the wires under the console. You're welcome.

I welded a small steel tray that fits into the forward slot of the central cup holder. Then I ran the iPod harness through a small hole that I drilled in the cupholder. (Hard-wired to Bose headunit.) I also have two RCA jacks sticking out of the central console just under the cig lighter. AUX switch is on passenger side next to shifter trim.

jeez, way to jack the thread

but since I'm a nice guy, I'd say you can probably be able to hard-wire an '05 Bose. You just need 4 PCB pins for left and right + and - audio, then a method for faking the AUX to turn on...which varies differently between years.
