It's a combination of a Bracketron satellite radio dash mount and a vent clip/iPod holder. The GPS holder on the satellite dash mount didn't grip the phone tight enough, so I attached the gripper portion iPod vent clip to the satellite mount.
Best Buy only charged me for one of them  I can't find a short iPod cable like this http://www.diatec.co.jp/en/det.php?prod_c=367 in the USA though, oh well.

That's pretty sweet. So that will play slacker/pandora radio apps from the usb too? I use slacker more than my actual ipod.
Another thing you might want to check out is www.itubelist.com You can pick any number of videos and have them play consecutively...be careful though, you'll probably have girls running up to your car in amazement. |

Pandora works great through USB on my head unit (Pioneer)... it's similar to Europa's, so i assume hers works the same way.

No problem. Are you just using a regular iPhone USB charger cord to connect to your dock? I really wish I could find a shorter one.

yeah, but mine doesn't connect in the front like yours. it has the attachment in the back, and an extension cord is run to the glove box (or wherever else you'd like). So for me it's possible to hide extra cord in the glove box. I need to get this mounting situation worked out first, though...

Yeah, tucking it away in the glovebox would be really nice for an iPod, but too inaccessible for a phone. You can get one of the mounts online and then you unscrew one of the dash panels to install it. They're are quite a few to choose from, but I recommend one that is tilted toward the driver seat. Some of the vent clip mounts allow you to rotate the phone from portrait to landscape view but you can't angle them towards you.

i don't mean to tuck the phone itself in the glove box... just the excess cable.

I use my iPhone in my car a lot more now that I got the new deck. I think it looks a lot better now that I have the short black USB cord.
