Hey everyone,

I did a lot of searching, but I cannot find the best way to mount an Ipod Video in the E60. I am looking for a bracket or a holder of some sort that would hold the 40 GB Ipod Video within reachable distance from the driver's seat around my front dash.

Has anyone seen any mounting brackets that wouldn't permanently damage our E60?

Any ideas are appreciated!

Try: http://www.brodit.com/

I have one in my car for a Tomtom and it is great.

Hope it helps.

This is what I have in mine. It is a two part system, base and device holder. No drilling or tapping, just a wee bit of wedging and snapping. This is the second time I have used proclip. Link provided

You need to buy a separate video adapter for that. I think it runs around $500 dollars.
