I don't really want it to be an ipod dock - I just wanted to integrate a charger for my iphone, bc I don't use the ashtray anyway and my phone's always flying around the car, as there's no convenient place to put it.

I have the charger cord - was thinking to just solder the wires from the charger cord to the lighter, then make the cradle out of the ashtray and an old ipod adapter I have. I also have the CF Fabric that I wanted to use to finish it. I'm just too lazy and can't solder very well (at all ). What do you say - you think its even worth bothering for only the charger and the cradle? Considering I'm selling my car, sort of...

Well, you can keep the charger near the ashtray open, and then plug the adapter under the glove route the wire to the ashtray and make the dock through there for the charger.

There's plenty of possibilities of what to do. Do you have Nav? if not, we can route another cable to the space there.

thanks for the bump.

This mod is still available. I've been very busy with work but if you are in the NYC area, please PM if you want to see it and do the mod. Plenty of members have done this and love it.
