alternative ipod mount take 2
i received lots of slack last time for an unclean install so here's my updated pics
First thing I did was remove the compartment.
Afterwards I yanked out the red 'not an ashtray' box.. you have to use force to take it out
I dremeled a hold in the back of the compartment to hold the dension docking station

After making the hold, I glued black fabric from my local fabric store to make it look cleaner. Also that bump where the ipod resting on is a piece of styrofoam with the black fabric around it. I used elmer's glue to stick the fabric to the compartment and superglue to connect the styrofoam piece.
Another front pic

As easy as it seems, mounting the icelink docking station was a bitch. I used er.. various tape techniques to make sure the docking station holds when i put the ipod in.
With this install i can flip the compartment down hiding the ipod, and have easy access to it instead of going through the center console which i used to do.
