I already have a cell phone mount with mic and speaker installed which I love, but now I'm looking to mount my IPod as well. Does anyone have any ideas where I can mount my ipod (and wire it to an aux in)?



Is it gonna be possible?

Belkin has a cupholder mount that you could use for your ipod. I installed my Aux cable input underneath the radio towards the floor in the black plastic cover there. This way, only a short 1/8" cable is need to run from the IPOD to the AUX in
This has worked out great for me.

I bought an ipod mount from http://www.proclipusa.com
It isn't the nicest thing in the world but it does the job. You would have to buy two seperate pieces, one which holds the ipod and then one that mounts to either downtube. I opted to get the one that mounts on the drivers side and although I tend it hit my knee on it getting into and out of the car, the ipod is now mounted in the perfect spot so that you don't have to take your eyes off the road to change a song.

The Cell phone mount that SkAlex has right now, is by far the best iPod mounting system I've seen. I love it...

Check it out here:

Holder which adapts to Mount, for iPod:

As for where to adapt an iPod with your existing cell phone, I hadn't seen those proclips before, those are kinda nice. Looks like a good option...

I've heard lots of good things about the parcel shelf for holding an iPod.
