I'll apoligize in advance; this is going to be long. :D
So I got a new cable for my Kenwood deck that will allow me to control an iPod from the deck controls. I have a new problem now, however, because I have no idea where I'm going to stick the iPod while it is in the car.
For those of you who don't know, bumping around or dropping the iPod while it's hard drive is spinning can mean it's "death", so I need something to keep it stable in the car instead of just laying it in the console or something. I'd like to be able to see the screen.
So anyways, the point of this post is to get some ideas from you guys as to what I should do, and maybe get some pics of your in-car solutions.
I really want to do a custom center console, but I have no idea where to start or what materials to use, so I'm straying away from that unless someone can give me some help. I'd like to get the smooth painted look on the center shifter console with the iPod standing up at an angle behind or in front of the shifter.
I thought about a great idea where I remove the center console and cut a hole to insert an iPod universal dock from the bottom. This way the iPod would sit at exactly the angle I want. The problem there is that I don't know what materials I should use to keep it sturdy and still.
Thanks in advance for any help ad/or suggestions!
