Smile TSX & ipod nano

I had ordered and received my nano few days ago
I found this is the best place to place the ipod nano in our tsx and wanna share with you guys. Take a look at the pic, the nano sit right there. So far I have been putting there for few days and eventually it won't fall down.
sorry for bury pics, took by my cell phone. I might post up another better quality pic later

nope
I heard that nano get scratches easily, therefore I applied screen protectors on both sides of my nano.

Good idea. I should probably do that before I get a major scratch.

Are you having any problems at all? I'm having problems everytime I listen to my Nano and then plug it into the Icelink. I completely lose sound, even though I still retain track-changing capabilities.

so far, it still didn't fall off...even with some fast corning, as the upper top right corner of my nano is really close to the top of the storage bin lid, therefore it won't slide to the side at all. Uphill/downhill no problem at all too. However, I duno what happen if hard-braking yet.

I put it there so I can easily control my ipod plus it look quite nice at night. As there are some blue light shinning from the top to the white surface of the nano

my favorite thing about the nano is that i can now turn the sound up all the way (100%) without distortion - i couldnt do that with the full or mini. Im still looking for a good place it place mine, since mine is hooked up to the auxillary port of my dvd player and my center pocket door is open.

How did you wire it Euro?
I've got the mini plug wire coming out of the CD bin (gets fed through the hole for the light in the bin - the light is kinda hanging ) If I could hide that cable a little better it'd be cool.

Oh, and I'm one of the few nuts that bought a cover for my nano (www.theinvisibleshield.com) before actually buying the nano. A week before, actually. No scratches for me!

I'm using iriver fm transmitter only cuz I can't find a place to buy snhond3 at canada, the quality of the sound are acceptable. I had tried several brand of fm transmitter and this one seem to be the best one.
Anyway, I just feed the wire out from the armrest storage and hide the wire under the center console by the driver side only.

is the invisible-shield for nano good?? will it get peel off very easily?

It hasn't peeled off easily at all and seems to be money well spent. Check out the thread in Ramblings about covers...
I can't use FM modulators in the DC area, they just don't work with all the interference. You can probably get the snhond3 on eBay... There are alternatives to the SNHOND3 that you may be able to get... For instance, check out the PIE products (www.pie.net) - http://www.pie.net/forum/viewtopic.p...f1d88fc48ffa58

There are threads in the A/V section with other alternatives...

FYI, It seems like a good idea. I used to put my Ipod in a similar place, until after a couple months went buy and I started noticing scratches on the door of my ashtray and cubby storage.

It took 6 days to get to me. Their website seems to be down now, but someone posted on the apple forums today that they have a "version 2" for the nano which doesn't cover the click wheel.
Personally I like it covering the wheel since although it may not scratch, it gets dirty easily. The plastic shield makes it easy to wipe off. It sure was a bitch to get it applied without bubbles though.
