the iPod is mounted in the arm rest between the front seats. there was a nice little elastic strap that fits the iPod perfectly. with the addition of the case on my iPod, an ifrogz case, it stays in there pretty snug.

passenger seat installed back in the car with the box mounted to the bottom of the seat. all the wires are hidden and you can't see anything, unless you look under the seat or flip open the arm rest.

Wow...very nice looking. So clean and everything. Does the h/u let you make all the iPod controls from it? Yeah I know it's a dumb question.

yeah it does allow me to control the iPod through the deck. the only downsides are that it is a little slow in response time. I was aware of this before i bought and i can handle it seeing how i don't intend on changing the song every minute of my driving. the other downfall is that it is limited on how mang songs/artists/albums it will show. i also knew about this and can live with it.

thanks for the compliment. i'm pleased with the way it looks also.

good work man very clean

I think there is a better way----iPod car adapter.
this adapter makes iPod or MP3 as a CD changer, and play iPod
or MP3 through car
audio system, it does not use FM transmitter, but wire connection.
(Plug into the CD changer port of the Head Unit). Once it is equipped,
you can choose music of iPod or USB disk from the car stereo's buttons
or steering wheel controls,
For example,
1 choose playlist from iPod
2 Select songs by Next or Previous
3 Multi Play mode: Repeat, Random, Scan
4 Charge function

I think it is useful. If anything what to know, you can ask me. http://www.shoptalkforums.com/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif
