    Well after about a week of messing around after work I now finally have an iPhone/iPod dock installed in the car. I installed it in that little center change holder or whatever ya call it infront of the shifter ('99 GP)

    I painted the whole holder semi gloss black too so it looks nice, from outside the car you cant tell its there!

    I did this because ive got a Pioneer DEP-4100UB stereo and i was getting tired of always having to reach down and plug in and out my iPhone everytime i got in the car lol. So a dock was needed.

    There will be pic's later right now camera is charging.

    I like that. A write up would be cool. I'm curious to see how you did it.

    Here is another pic in "action"



    I didnt use any wiring kit, my deck is a Pioneer DEH-4100UB and has a rear usb connection, so ive connected an ipod cable to it and it works like a charm - the deck is designed with ipod controls too so that helps.

    wow i never realized how dirty the inside of the car was until now lol good thing i just got it like a month ago and its a work in progress

    Looks good. I've been racking my brain trying to come up with something for mine. I have an 06 GXP with those giant cup holders which gives me a good spot, but I want to find a way for it to look like it should be there the way you did.
