iPods

Postby Dave » Tue Aug 22, 2006 12:09 pm

has anyone got one mounted in their car?

i've a cable at the side of the stereo in the new car that lets me hook an MP3 player and haven't seen a decent mounted iPod or similar that would look good in the new beast!!

Probably no good to you because you've an Ipod but its kinda related anyway - I wanted to mount my Creative Zen Sleek in the FTO so I got a docking station, ripped it apart, made a hole in the cup holder and mounted it there. I have a phono cable hooked into the back of the stereo (CD changer interface set up as line-in). Its a pretty clean job and works really well but it you have to remove the player from the dock to change tunes. I didn't want unsightly cables in the cabin and I'm not too fond of FM trasnmitters due to the sound quailty not being 100% so it suits my needs pretty well.

certainly does look nice and clean, i don't have an MP3 player but i'm picking one up soon and which ever one i do decide on, the car mounting of it will be a factor....

I use an idrive (radio transmitter) I got while in Malaysia a few months back- works really well - no noticeable loss of sound quality and it powers/recharges the ipod to boot.
