Ipod dock for e30s.

I know this subject has beeen discussed before, but I wanted to show you all something. My friend MAtt has been installing these for quite some time and I think it would be a cool addition to an e30 in the ashtray or other compartments.
Check it out. The e65 dock looks pretty cool.

It's a cool idea, although I'm not a fan of it. I much prefer to not let people know I have my ipod available in the car, or even possible that it might be in there. My alpine headunit has complete onboard control of my ipod so it's hidden in the glove compartment and I don't have to worry about anyone getting any ideas when looking through the window. Oddly enough, I actually like the Alpine controls better than the Ipod!!!

Agreed. The cool thing about our cars is that it could be put in the ashtray which is actually closable. I think it would be cool if you had, say, an Iphone that had music on it. You could open the ashtray, stick your phone in it, and roll. if it rang you could grab it really quick and answer the call. i am not sure if that's how the Iphone works though. Also when you leave the car, just pull the Ipod and close the tray. I am going to head up to his shop next week to see if it is actually possible.

Cool idea, but I like the idea of having a Nano that I can completely conceal in the ashtray while it's connected to a headunit. Now I just need to dremel out the damn ashtray so I can route the cable into it and stop using the glovebox...

I have an iphone and have been toying with the idea of a dock in the front or rear ashtray area. Originally I had my Alpine ipod cord run to the glovebox but that sucks when your ipod is your main source of communication also. If you put the dock in so that you could close the ashtray cover over it when not in use i think that would be a pretty slick setup.

Even better if you could rig up a hands free bluetooth device to stereo and push a button next to the dock to answer and end the call.
