Hi All,

I just read the news from Bridger.us/MINI website that there will be a new ICE-Link for iPod. Do you think it worth it? If it still uses my CD player to control the iPod, I may just use the ProClip holder to place the iPod next to the CD Player.

So here is my plan.

1. Use Belkin car charger with aux input to power the iPod and connect the Aux input.
2. Use the new Belkin iPod holder that design for the New Beattle.
3. Use the ProClip MINI holder and attach the Belkin iPod holder. I may paint the ProClip to white color to match the iPod.

What do you think? Since I do not have MFSW this may be a good solution. I think iPod is such a cool design product, I should show it out and use it touch control.

The Belkin cup holder is cool. I did have to cut about 1/2" out of it to make it small enough to fit the front cup holders. Also, note that the front cup holders are not deep enough for it to go all the way down, so it sticks up about 1/3". (it fits all the way down in the back cup holder. but who would do that?)

I use it on the driver's side and find the location perfect for changing songs, volume, etc right on the iPod.

Enjoy!
