Hi Guys,
It seems it is very difficult to find a good holder for my 80Gb ipod.
I am looking like the nokia phone holder . just press the phone in and you got everything like charging and hansfree.
I am looking for a holder , where you just have to press the ipod and you got it charged and have an audio output. I am using Kuda mount so i can fix it.
Any info on it please
Thk

If that works do a google search for gripmatic

Someone on this board installed the Apple iPod Dock in the ashtray.

That sounds like a lot of work. Other than being unique I would think it easier to install the MOST iPod adapter and leave the iPod in the glove box.
Yeah. But the question was asked about an easy-to-use dock.
Personally, I say just wait and get a Zune. To hell with Apple and the iPod.

Why would the Zune be any better? Other than a slightly larger display that Apply also has in the works.

A few reasons:
1. Zune will play any type of audio file. Apple won't allow a number of free formats such as Flac and Ogg. This is a big deal to me, because I hate AAC and MP3, and Apple Lossless isn't great either.
2. Zune will have built-in Wi-Fi.
3. Zune will be about 1/6 the price of an iPod... maybe less.
4. Zune won't use iTunes.

2. The reviews have been questionable at best for their WiFi features. But I'll reserve judgement until I see one and get to use it.
3. Zune will be the same price as the iPod (actually a few cents more). The 30GB iPod retails for $249 while the Zune will retail for $249.99
4. That's a personal taste thing. I have no issues with iTunes. And I have other apps for Linux that will work with the iPod if I don't like iTunes.
One huge bonus that the iPod will have over the Zune player is that there is huge support already for the iPod. Even in my current BMW.
