Just cant leave things alone. Have been using velcro to hold Ipod and got sick of it so I pulled console and cut spot for it. Took longer than I thought. Ran cord under tank. Can still pull Ipod out to charge it, if I hit rain will just put Ipod in ziplock and put back in console. I think its gona work. If not just have to buy new insert for console..not much of a down side risk..

 

Looks good man, I like the idea. Now that's thinking outside the box ;-)

 

looks great, where did you get the rubber from and what keeps it flush so it doesn't fall down in the hole you cut?

 

pretty cool! Almost cool enough we might see it as an accessory in the Parts Catalog after the MoCo sees this and realizes you have no IP protection (patent) - they'd neverdo that would they? Oh well . . .

But seriously - very good!

 

LOL...well the trim is actually the stuff some people put on the edge of their car doors to prevent scratches. Not even sure what its called...door molding?? I tried several different things under the console including a fiberglass dish type thing I made but ended up with a 3" thick piece of foam. Cut out the center to hold Ipod then cut the end so cord could go thru. Had to cut foam down several times as there isnt a whole lot of room under the console. I used 3M double side adhesive to hold foam in place. the foam is pinched between the tank and console as well. Not sure if this is the final unit. I was thinking about molding a thiner fiberglass basket and then mold it to a new insert. Not sure yet...I like the foam because it stops vibration and squishes nicely between tank and console.

 

Nice engineering. I'm trying to come up with something original for my dash as well...maybe a pop up arm to drive for me...lol

 

only thing is where it plugs in isn't it on the ide of the ipod where the tight fit around the outer edge of ipod would make it difficult????????/
