Wow.... and no one thought of this?
It was a free DIY kinda thing for me... Took 10 minutes, cut some hard cardboard out and made a box. Pasted a black piece of cloth over top of it from an old shirt that I cut out. Cut a slit, routed iPhone wire there through the center console... Wire extends freely so I can pull my phone out to look at it while it's still connected, and put it back in. The box is also deeper than the dock thing so it's quite sunk in when you put it down, only about 1/4 of the phone sticks up. Doesn't get in the way of shifting at all. The cable in the picture is a USB/AV cable, so it does charge my phone, stream music, and also mirror the image on my double din. Thought about having a dock down there too, but then if I ever had to pick up my phone I wouldn't want it to get disconnected
Patent on something like that..
