Default CUSTOM MOTORIZED iPOD HOLDER IN GS

Check out these photos of a custom built iPod holder in the new GS300. The dude with the white GS on 22's had this built and he sent me the pics. He said that it was built by a company called Pro-Fit and I just got the pics. It's powered by three remote motors/ cable drives and has a cog belt system to adjust angles. This thing is bad ***! Only thing that sucks is that he no longer has a cup holder. LOL.

LOL. yea for real. I think its pretty cool, though it would have been better IMO to see it pop out of the armrest or another compartment.

Its like an iPod really isnt good enough for that thing. Looks like it should hold a small super computer or something.

Pictures look better than the holder, change it out and give the motor the ability to automatically bring the drink up to your mouth, lol
