im still looking for a halfway decent one that will give me easy access to it and look nice in the interior of my car. anyone have any ideas. i have the 30g video and i really want to start using my jazzy more once i get a cradle. thanks a lot.

 

i've used the arkon stuff before and although it doesn't look very cool, they work quite well..

I just finished my jazzy aux-in with the Arkon CM160 vent mount for my iPod Video:

All in all, I am very pleased with the sound and the mount. I can push the next/previous buttons on the iPod with my thumb still on the steering wheel. I am actually glad to have that vent partially blocked as it often blows cool air right at my hand.

 

I bought the CM160 mount online for less than $10 shipped, available black or white. Clearly I needed black.

 

I also installed the ground loop isolator from Crutchfield that has 3.5mm plugs in case I decide to power my iPod in the future.

Though search was my friend, it means i'll be resurrecting a super old thread.

 

Has anyone found an iPod/iPhone cradle that fits in the cubby? how about hanging down over the cd player?

I'm making a custom mount. More details will be posted later, but it definitely won't be some ghetto thing hanging off of a vent.

I've got this one. On the expensive side but works well and looks great.

+1 I've been using an Arkon vent mount for my iPhone on the far left vent and it worked well when the mount would stay in the vent... but it wouldn't always stay there.

 

I just picked up a Tetrax Xway and an Otterbox case for my iPhone and love this combo. The Xway doesn't hold the phone at the exact angle for best viewing like the Arkon mount did, but it actually stays on the vent and it doesn't take up extra space when my phone isn't mounted there.

 

For my TomTom, I use the Panavise InDash custom mount. It's placement is similar to the Proclip, but it's metal and less expensive so... better! I'm thinking that once I get my stereo upgraded and have an aux in I'm going to get one of the cubby mount GPS mounts and use the Panavise for an iPod.
