Default ipod dock construction

has anyone created or constructed an ipod docking station somewhere within their 2is? perhaps you've modified an apple ipod dock or you've built a docking station someone in the center console or in the glove box?

it's getting to be about that time to mount your video/photo ipod where you can see it and maybe click/scroll the ipod wheel while driving/sitting in the passenger seat.

would like to see photos if you have them, thanks.

Lexus do an ipod dock for your glovebox, allowing you to control the ipod from the steering wheel controls. It also charges it.

Sup Guys,

As you guys know, i am the first one on CL to successfully install NavTV Module and I am now ready to integrate my Ipod Video.

I currently have a DVD Changer installed.

Anyway, I was looking for a part that will be able to charge, audio/video OUT, and have a wireless RF remote, so everything can be concealed in the glove. With the remote, I will be able to change tracks.

Currently, I have found that inorder to achieve those features, I will have to combine two parts. Those parts are:

1. A wire that charges and provides Audio/Video OUT. ($15.00-$20.00)


2. Scoche Ipod Video RF Remote ($50-70)
The New 5th Generation iPod RF remote control utilizes the dock connector and features a pass through for charging, Bluetooth integration, FM transmitters or headphones. The remote controls basic functions play/pause, rwd/ffw, volume, track, plus random song feature and can access your playlists.
150 ft. wireless range
RF signal travels through walls


Now question is... will this remote allow pass-through for Audio/Video signals via Docking part.

If it does, then I am set.

What do you guys think? I have already emailed Scoshe.
