Well I guess I assumed that it would not work based on what I was told by the guy who sold me the adapter. I just checked this morning and the Alpine does charge the iPhone. I now know what happens to people who assume...

 

Hehe - well look at it this way - now you get a more streamlined setup for no more $$. =]

I like your mount, but it is for the naked phone. I'm going to have my phone in a case always so I'm going to need something that adapts to phone size. Ugh, it looks like I'm going to have to shell out the dough for a proclip ($70) unless there is a good alternative that mounts to an AMPS pattern.

 

I hope you find a good solution for the mount for the iPhone. The next project I am looking into would be to have my iPhone mounted a little higher in a centered position so it could take advantage of the video recording feature on the phone so I could have a makeshift in-car camera.

 

Do they make a mount for the iphone that is cased in the otterbox?? Because I never plan on taking it out.. otterbox is worth the money for those who don't have it!!

 

This expensive beast seems to be the best device holder I've found for phones in cases. I just don't want to pay $80 like a schmuck.

Those won't work if the phone is in a case.

 

You can always wire to the aux in on the head unit to retain iPhone/iPod controls.

It works really well and is worth it IMO. Though actually my SO has the non-adjustable one for the iPod Touch 2G so I can't vouch for this specific model. There just aren't that many alternatives out there.

True but I think the OP might have to compromise on this point if his case doesn't fit the adustable mount. Unless a more generic mount is used it is difficult as no one makes iPod/iPhone mounts to accommodate every possible case out there.

 

Screw it. I'm buying the mount. Damn you, ProClipUSA!

 

I would like to see the mount when it is installed. Good Luck!
