If you like the head unit interface there's no reason to have the ipod within reach.

How come the vent is still open in the picture?

The problem with a dash mounted IPOD is that whenever you park, you must remove the ipod, then if someone's checking out which cars to pull a "smash and grab", he'll notice you have an IPOD cradle (which screams "IPOD INSIDE!) and assume there's an ipod in your glove box and break in.

Thanks Tom. I thought about that but I wasn't sure if the cover would fit over the ipod. I will do it this weekend. I appreciate the help.

There was a similar topic earlier on. I put my ipod above the CD changer. Didn't want to get rid of the changer incase I wanted to reconnect. No regrets

I saw your install Ajogu but there is a small silver module installed above my Nav Unit. Not sure what it is (Phone module?) so it won't fit there.

What is the blue deal above the iPod? I haven't seen that in my installs.

It's a warning triangle box. A big "gotta have" over here according to road rules, amongst other things.

"yeowzer", don't think its the phone, cause I've got a phone too and it ain't there

Its the Voice Recognition module and it doesn't leave room to mount it above the DVD Nav. So I will go with Tom's suggestion. I can't wait to get it installed.
