Made a holder for my iPod...

[stprorolla49]

Last nite i was drawing up some ideas for ipod holders for the car, and on SN95 forums, i saw something that DARK5.0 put together so i took that idea and improved upon it....its made outta some sheet steel with some openings i drilled, and i used black felt on the inside to cusion the iPod....heres some pics of the build, and installed too....now i just needa run the wire behind the dash and come out right from behind the bezel...

Lemme know what you think!

Can I buy one from you?

That looks great. Only thing. You might want to cut down the tab that runs over the click wheel - or modify it some way, as that could become an obstruction. Plus you might want padding in front too to avoid scratching up the front of the iPod.

Great work!

yea i just needa get a few new bits for my dremel and make a little arc around the click wheel....and there is 2 little bits of felt on the outside you just cant see em in the pic....

Good to see you're still using Viagra.

How did you bend the metal?

 

[stprorolla49]

well i found the metal in the shop and it already had that "U" channel to it which happened to be the same width as the ipod....then i just used a series of different positions on a vice with a hammer, and some vice grips.....and i used a grinding wheel so smooth all edges, and a hack saw to make cuts...thanks for the kind words guys...i figured i'd share the idea around

I would love to take my clock out and make a docking station up there for my PSP and hook it up to my radio. As of now I just have an FM transmitter that plugs into the cigg lighter and plays my PSP over 87.9.

 

[BlueOvalStangGT]

I have a FM transmitter for mine too, and it sucks balls. I think its because of my headunit, its always full of static. I even put the stock antenna back on there.

Make sure you get a good fm transmitter, the Belkin one works really good. My g/f went through 3 of them before she bought the belkin and they all sucked. Also get one that can plug into the cigarette lighter, then you dont have to keep buying batteries.
