Has anyone found a good way to mount the iPod somewhere? It is a hassle just having it sit in the center console. Thanks.

Belkin makes a TuneDok holder (info here) that also fits in a cupholder:



Or the Griffin iSqueeze, which you can get for $8 from amazon.com:



Or just Google cupholder iPod mount and you'll get thousands of hits.

The above pics looks pretty cool but I think it would get in the way if you do a lot of sport shifting. Perhaps there is a way to use some sort of remote.

 

Next year, Lexus will probably disable sport shifting if it detects a cellphone or iPod in use.

 

check this string...

I've got this and love it, works great: http://www.theistore.com/ijet.html

I was able to get it for around $30NIB including shipping off of e-bay.

 

Ok, that looks good. I would get one but it won't work with neither my Video nor Nano. Says coming soon....

 

I got the Belkin that fits into the cup holder. But since it is the only cup holder, it became a pain when I would go through a drive-thru and no place to put the drink. So I pulled the center console and drilled a clean hole with a step-bit, just left of the cupholder. I took the Belkin dock, which threads into the rubber cup, and threaded it directly into the hole in the console. Since I already had the console out, I ran the I-Pod wire through the console so it is not exposed. It comes out through a small hole inside the center console near the Aux plug. It looks really good and is out of the way. I posted a few photos here...

 

Check out my post over on the .Net board. I have some pics of my setup which I'm pleased with. I went with the belkin cup holder (specific to my ipod mini), the right angle adapter from radio shack, a belkin power adapter with line out (so I only need to plug one cable into the bottom of the ipod) and a ground loop isolator. this setup let's me close the armrest, and when I slide it to the first position my fingers are right over the ipod.

Good luck.

Check this out.... This is prob the best bet and it becomes available the first quarter of 06 (so hopefully sometime soon)

iJet 2way Remote w/ LCD Display



and it is available in black or white

 

Wow, that's what I want. It's got the passthru and the display...and it's wireless.

 

I just wish the iPod + charger + aux cable + sound filter didnt take up the whole console!

As for the mounts, one mount was on the cup holder inside of the console, but then the console is 100% useless, so that is out. The other mount is on the cup holder outside of the console, but I cant use that one either cuz I have the manual so it would interfere with comfortable shifting. I guess the only reasonable option is the iSqueeze, but even that will be an issue with all of the cables needed.

No one has tried any longer, more eccentric solutions?

 

I really like this quick set up. You can take it from car to car.

 

yup its perfect for our car
