Default Damage free mount?

Anyone know where I can get a damage free mount to work with my Dension Ice iPod kit? I don't want to screw into the dash at all, so I'm looking for a solution that won't cause damage to the interior in case I have to remove the mount later down the road.

Just curious if you have checked eBay. I found on eBay mounts for my Garmin GPS the fit nicely into the air vents, plus the mount swivels.
Good Luck,
Chris

Haven't found much on eBay... I'd prefer one that mounts to the side of the shifter console, and not the vents. Seem to be having a hard time finding that.

As an alternative, I could also use something that plugs into the lighter socket, however I'm not finding anything that either A) Has no dock connector or, B) Allows pass-through for the dock connector.

Since the kit I'm installing already has the dock cable, which I'll need to use in order to have info displayed on the radio, use steering wheel controls, etc, I need something that I can use the dock cable with.

Pro.Fit makes three brackets specifically for the RX330/350 although one of them is for mounting a Garmin GPS.

Here are links to the install instructions for the other two:
http://www.pro-fit-intl.com/Adobe/LX-52-98-p3.pdf
http://www.pro-fit-intl.com/Adobe/MV-50-03-L-p1.pdf

Installing one of these requires popping out the center stack and takes maybe 15 minutes. If the cable for your Dension kit is small enough, you might be able to squeeze it into the crack between the center stack and the frame by the bracket and mostly hide the cable.

The Pro.Fit Legend is nicer than the bare metal bracket -- I've got my Magellan GPS mounted on one. The two non-Garmin brackets have AMPS standard hole spacing although the LX-52-98 bracket might work better if your Dension kit isn't compatible with AMPS hole spacing.
