for those of you that have installed the Dension ICELink where are you putting the cradle? are you cutting the into the cup holder and putting you iPod in there - or soemthing else?

if you've installe the NEO (without the cradle) where are you keeping your iPod?

thanks...

 

I have the cradle mounted to the right of the center console near the dash (basically where the passenger's left knee would be if they pushed it against the console). I had a black angle bracket for rack-mounting network equipment, and it happened to work great. One part of it is attached to the plastic side panel on the front edge of the console/dash, to the right of the radio (it's removable), and the cradle attaches to the other part of it.

From the shifter, I just move my hand to the right and there's the iPod. Normally I don't control it while driving -- just start a playlist or play by artist/album when I get in the car, and do everything else with the dash radio controls.

BTW, I found the iceLink's method of navigating playlists to be cumbersome, so I turned it off. I use the iPod's controls to navigate through the music (by any criteria, not just playlists) and use the dash controls to skip tracks and control volume. Works real well.

If I have time tomorrow, I'll snap a picture.

Originally, I had intended to store my connection in the center console under the sliding "metalic" door. However, I'm glad I ended up not doing that. I glance down at my ipod often as I don't use too many play lists and even when I do I like to skip around. So, I want to take a look at the name of the song a lot. I just ran the wire along the side of the center console and just leave the ipod on top of the "metal" slidding door. Also, I ordered my ice link with a mini plug instead of the cradle so that I wouldn't have to take my ipod out of its case every time I get in the car.
