that's some nice, thick lush grass you got there. what kind is that? i've tried tall fescue and kentucky blue grass, but they don't hold up that well to a family and 2 dogs running around. plus, who has time to water the lawn? that grass of yours look thick and wide, they look like they'll hold up to 2 dogs running around.

 

I hate to interupt his answer, but it is St. Augustine. Very common in the south / southeast. Think of it as "domesticated crabgrass". It is pretty tough stuff, but it needs about 1" of water a week, so it might not be for you.

Plus, I'm not sure where you live, it might not grow there anyway.

 

St. Aug it is! I work very hard at keeping a nice lush lawn thanks very much! Not what about my damn ipod install!

 

i've cut myself so many times from working in the yard because of that damn grass. i hate it!

 

Nice iPod install. Was trying to decide what to do do with mine and so far I have opted for the simple cubby hole in the top of the armrest or a cup holder adapter for it should I desire to have it someplace I can view it.

I like that spot for it though.

 

Nice job on the install. The felt adds a nice finishing touch.

 

Very Nice!! Well you just confirmed where I want to put my ipod! :drool:

 

that looks really nice.

 

WoW it's really nice now all this makes me rethink all ipod purchase LOL

 

I think I am going to do the same thing. Thanks for the idea!

 

did you add power to the dock?

no power required, basically the dock is just that a dock to hold the ipod, the ports on it are basically a pass-thru. The dock sits in the top and the cable that comes with the ipod to connect to a PC or in this case the AudioLink cable goes in the backside of the dock.

 

OK so I get the soldering done and install everything only to find out this dock doesn't have audio out through the ipod wiring only via the line out on the dock. So plan B is in play, I've ripped all the guts out of the dock itself and modified it to accept the plug that comes with the AudioLink unit. The glue is setting now and I'll shoot some pix later. I had a feeling something wasn't gonna go as smoothly as planned, oh well plab B should work and look just as nice.

 

i think ill be doing the same modd... going to get a audilink cable with the 3.5mm option so that i can plug in my aftermarket NAV system into it... im gonna try and fit it into the map compartment in the dash... make it look almost stock...

 

I like your iPod install. I've got mine in a Belkin cup holder and wired through my arm rest. I bought a SiK adapter that plugs into the bottom of the iPod and provides power and audio, i.e. one connection.

I'd like to do this mod too. Looks like I'll have to plug the dock adapter plug into the back, and the audio into the audio port on the dock. I'll probably get the Apple dock and paint it black.

Any updates or pictures of your install DoubleD?

I know this thread is a little old, but I would like to see some pics too, if you have some.

Thanks.

 

curious too with a question.

would it not have fit if you just moded the ash tray side so we can keep the cig adapter?

bump for the same questions....

 

Hey guys sorry for the late response. Yes you probably could have modded the space to keep the cig lighter but it would have been a tight squeeze with the size of the footprint of the dock itself. Here are a couple pix of that setup which I abondoned for a couple reasons, 1. It was hard to see the screen and 2. it was hard to navigate the ipod controls down there in front of the shifter and 3. I would always knock the ipod off the dock when putting the car in park. I now have it mounted on a Panavise mount just to the right of the center A/C vents(last pic) which is WAY easier to see and navigate.
