Default Anyone have a mounted iPod (pics too?)?

I want to mount my iPod in my Jeep but I don't know what would look good and what would look cheesy.

Anyone have pictures of how you did it? Or just explain it?


Thanks

I already have the auxiliary cord so I don't need a docking device.

New Jeep Patriots and Compass have an i-pod "carrier" in the center console. Maybe there's one of those in a jy just waiting for you to find it!

If your player has a port in back and the cord is long enough, you can run the cord under the center unit and drill a ole in the console to putt the end in there. if that makes any sense.

depends on what kind of sterio you have. I have a pioneer and they make a cable that goes from the back of my deck to my ipod and then i can control it from my deck and just leave my ipod in a case in the glove box.
