bigjock Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 well bought one today and am pleased to say it works very well and looks good. very easy plug play, excellent sound quality. all i need now is a place to stick my ipod touch at the moment its here (see pic). anyone have theirs in a better position baring in mind i don't want cables everywhere.

FMC Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 well done mate, but all i can see is a dark pic of an illuminated !Removed! lighter socket :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FMC Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 i promise theres an ipod there somewhere! here you are,any ideas how i can attach ipod in a more secure position here? wow that's pretty neat - i presume the 12v adapter thingy is the Griffin? or is that just the charger? (looks like it has a play button on top?) Can only suggest the crude but usually effective blutak for this fitment to secure it where it is currently, or maybe one of those Belkin iPod holders that go into the cup holder?

bigjock Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 yeah the thing in the socket is the griffin it charges and plays/forward/rewinds/pauses. oh and glows red which is nice as it fits the rest of the car. works very well. its in a very handy position for using whilst driving, certainly safer than using the ipod itself. might try the velcro adhesive strips to secure. not really anywhere else it can go without seeing wires unless i drill and tunnel them under plastic.

bigjock Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 found this but not sure how it attaches, just looks like a flat plate! http://www.dsldevelopments.com/SiteGFX/Bro...es/654252-4.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjock Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 found a suitable cradle today and fitted it plus managed to mod the aux in plate a little so i could hide all wiring. next on the list is wiring and cradle for the tomtom! not bad for 5quid and 5minutes!

Stude41 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I have bought the Griffin pilot for £19 !! great idea, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irononreverse Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I have bought the Griffin pilot for £19 !! great idea, thanks. I bought one of these the other day and it's fantastic! One slight issue is that it keeps my iPod screen on which is a little distracting. Any way to keep the screen switched off? It keeps coming back on when I use the autopilot controls.

jack Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I too bought one of these last week. I been looking for a mount for a while now, how have you fitted yours, Bigjock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjock Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 I too bought one of these last week. I been looking for a mount for a while now, how have you fitted yours, Bigjock? it's just stuck on using powefull 3m doubleside adhesive pads. unstuck a few times when it was -14c but as soon as the car warms up it manages to restick solid!
