Homemade iphone dock

I made an iphone docking station so I can recharge and listen to music. I don't like plugging 2 cables everything I go into the car.

The dock is bought on ebay for $5. The aux cable and usb cabe are both $1 each.

The bottom is a aerosol can cap. I drilled 3 holes under it and JB welded it so it wouldn't come off easily. I do advice you to pry the dock apart before drilling so you don't accidentally damage anything.

Hopefully for those of you who doesn't want to overpay for some dock then this could be a good solution.

What a clever idea! Iphone docks are not expensive but creating your own is really nice.

That's pretty cool, I bought an iPhone holder that slides into the unused CD Player and has a magnet, I just stick it to that when I get in. I still have to remember to plug in the AUX cable though which is frustrating. I do mostly short drives so charging isn't as important.

I'm going to try a small A2DP adapter like the Belkin to see if I can do the audio wirelessly.
