iPod & Cell Phone Mount

[Marty]

I got a mounting bracket with a double-wide mount to hold my iPod and cell phone, from ProClip (www.proclipusa.com). Nice sturdy set up. Had to mount it on right side of dash thus partially blocking center-right vent, but a single unit set up would mount on left between instrument hood and left-center vent. Now to figure how to stash the power wire from the plug.

If I knew how to post pictures I would do so. Can e-mail jpegs if anyone wants to see how it looks.

ProClip Mount Photo

I posted a photo on ImageShack as per Bennett's reply, here's the link the site specifed. Looking at it, I see I should have taken a shot without the devices. Let me know if that would help.

looks good. But you ought to think about getting rid of that iTrip and wire it into the back of your radio, using an adaptor for the cd changer control port on the back of the head unit. I did it, and I am amazed at the difference in sound quality. But your mount looks really great.

IPod wiring to Radio

D: I'd love to do that.

Can you provide instructions on how you did that? How to dismantle radio, what kind of adapter to use at the radio and at the iPod, where to attach it to the radio, etc? I'm not very knowledgeable about that kind of stuff.

Does your install leave a wire protruding from the dash, or did you feed it somewhere hidden like the glove box? Does the wiring just plug into the top of the iPod?

the adaptor plugs into the back of the head unit, where the factory cd changer would plug in. I just plug that wire into the earphones port on my iPod. I ran the wire under the transmission tunnel and out under the passenger seat...don't have my pod mounted to the dash. I will come back with links in a minute for all that you need....

Here's what I did with my iPod:

It's an Alpine head unit and the iPod changer adapter. The adapter is around $80 and you can just throw it under the seat and it drives the iPod like a CD changer. The head unit is a standard Alpine (any model will work). I picked one that does single CD and MP3 CDs as well just to have a few options for musical delivery. All said and done it was around $330 from Crutchfield (not including the iPod, of course, but that was free on the infamous internet pyramid scheme).

Nice solution. Ooooh - I want that 6 speed ******!

What about connecting the iPod to the RB1 Nav unit? Anyone found a way to do that? Doesn't Alpine make the RB1....I am wondering if the adapter from alpine would work with the rb1. Anyone go a picture of the back of an RB1...trying to see if the cd changer connection is the AI-Net connector.


Another possibility I just found is the Monster cable iCruze....if the RB1 has the same cd changer connection as the non-AI-Net units from Alpine, the iCruze should work.
