Homemade Zen Holder
Hey guys,
I don't know how many of you have CreativeLabs Zen Xtra but... I made a homemade Zen holder out of aluminum piece that works pretty well for me. Probably not the best but it only costed me about $1 so can't complain. No holes or drilling so I can remove it at my convenience. If you have any interest, let me know and I'll take some more pictures for you and provide directions/tips. Thanks!

Thanks to you guys and this forum, I did install the SNHOND3 aux input.

That looks good. I have an iPod that I was thinking of a way to mount it as simply as possible in the car. I like your aluminum holder there. Do you have any instructions on how you made it and how it attaches. I see it clips under the part near the carpet, but where does it fit onto up next to the seat heating button? Do you have to remove the panels to mount it on there?

My crude-holder is really Simple in design. No clips, but 1" wide aluminum bent into shape. If you look at the pictures below, "V" portion just hooks along the bottom edge of the plastic console paneling, enough clamping force to make it stable. The padded hook portion rests just next to the passenger seat heater button. Hope I didn't confuse you.
If you want, send me a picture of what iPod holder looks like, and I'll be happy to make up something for ya.

Nice. You should show the people at www.nomadness.net.
I have a Nomad NX, I just toss it in the cup holders (I never drink in my car anyway), with the play and track advance facing me...
Actually, now that I have XM, I never really listen to it.
Ps. If you're looking for a power adapter, BestBuy has a unit that puts out 5v (they're hard to find, although I hear a 4.5 will power it fine), but the amps are a little low, so you couldn't transfer music with it plugged in.

Bad news, I just checked BestBuy.com, they don't carry it any longer. It was a Jensen unit which may explain it. They just got aquired by Audiovox, so maybe in a few months they'll be a similar product under their brand.
Check Ebay.
