Where to place ipod cable

chops · 02-22-2011, 04:05 PM

i dont have an ipod video cable, but i did mount the usb/3.5mm under my armrest:

i installed it this way for several reasons. if i ever get around to buying the 40 dollar video cable from pioneer, i can simply just plug it in there. if i dont ever buy it, i still have the 3.5mm accessible for when i want to use it with my phone or a passengers mp3 player/phone. also the usb doubles as a charger

I think people have installed the cord the same way in the dash cubby.

I know what I'm doing when it warms up. I've got so much cable in my glove box right now that I can't use it for anything else.

This is awesome.

heh the best part is the cable is just about the perfect length to be mounted in the center console and not have a ton of wire bundled up somewhere behind the dash or in the center console

I installed the iPod iSimple Gateway. That had so much cable that I ran it under the center console, past the armrest, and out by the passenger seat. Then I rest my iPod on the ledge behind the passenger seat.

Chops, where did you get the 3.5/usb adapter mounts?

no mounts. i removed the entire center console and just cut matching holes with a dremmel that were slightly smaller than the actual 3.5mm/usb plugs. then i shoved them in the hole and epoxy'd it in. they dont move whatsoever.
