So i finally got my butt moving on this project of mine. Ive been looking for a mount for my iphone but have not seen what i wanted. So i decided to make my own.

Just to give you guys some ideas for an iphone mount. Sorry i dont have step by step pics i got caught up in making it.

So basically i bought 2 items for this project. A iPhone 3G Universal Dock Adapter and a Kensington LiquidAUX.

Total cost about $70.

As you can see the dock is press fit into my ashtray. Take a dremel and slot it where it needs be from the ash tray. As for the space from the dock to the bottom of the ashtray i used some plastic materials i had around. For myself i used some of my kimber mag bumper.

The ashtray has a window on the side of it. Pop it out and you can run the wires from the liquidaux cable through this hole. Oh yeah plug the LiquidAUX from your center arm rest compartment, drill a hole (so you can run the cable out of the compartment) and run the wires to the ashtray.

For the iPhone connector, shave the plastic sides of the connector till it fits flush on the bottom of the dock, then glue. I believe that should be it.

So far im fairly happy with the mount. Yes the phone will wiggle a bit when driving. Its not a 100% secured mount for your iPhone. But so far after driving on poorly paved roads we have in Hawaii, its holding up quite well.

 

Lol, I believe there is a kit for this now, not too sure. It does look good though!

 

looks good! and its stealth because its concealed with the cigarette lighter. creative, but more importantly practical. great work!

 

id like to see it in person some day. maybe at an SB meet or the HellaFlush event next month. you going? Looks good to me

 

very clean install and also thumbs up on the carbon fiber

 

Looks very good!

Love the CF

 

Thanks for the compliment guys.

fknISC808 - i was thinking of going to Hellaflush event. Maybe i will see you there.

 

kikaida, it looks great! Good job on the install... I got something similar from Spec.Dock. Plus, your CF trim looks awesome!

 

I love how a total of about 2 out of 6 million 2IS owners actually use the ashtray for ASHES. Looks good, I did a mount in my cup holder a few years ago but I didn't like the viewing angle or how "stuck" it was, so I dremeled a slot to pass the cable through the center cup holder and the iPhone sits in there perfectly - plus it has the flexibility for me to pick it up and dial if need be. Good work!

nice clean look. just wondering where did you get the carbon fiber from?

 

I don't care about the iphone, but you have the nicest interior ever.

 

what CF kit is that? Do you have the sport package or wood trim under there?

 

Great work i was actually planning on doing this but havent came around to start it. My freakin center console is still torn apart from installing my navtool lol

 

Job well done. Nice install. Love the stealth look. Curious as to how many hours it took.

 

Thanks guys

Initial G - It took about an hour

My CF kit was custom made by Think Design.

Though i gotta thank Rashoodz for finding Think Design first.
