Default Center console and cell phone question....

OK. I've had this car for 6 months now, two of which it's been in the shop. I prefer to listen to Pandora via my cell phone while driving and have it charge as well. I have the phone hooked up to the AUX port and my charger plugged into the 12v source in the center cubby. I have a BlackBerry Torch. (Used to have a BB Bold 9700 that was much easier b/c both ports were on the right side of the phone). This durn Torch has the charging port on the left side just below center and the headphone port is on the right side near the top. This is just stupid if you're trying to hook it up to the car! I'd like to have the phone in the cup holder, but this had forced me to run the cables through the console and out on the sides of the trans tunnel. Anyone else have any creative and clean ideas for running these cables and placement for the phone while driving? I WOULD just run both cables to the passenger side and toss the phone on the seat, but I do have passengers and that is a NO-GO when the lady is riding. Suggestions please. I'd like to have it as clean as possible and not get in the way of anything. I did try one of those $10 phone mounts from Walmart but it kept getting effed up and a passenger would hit it w/ their knee.

Bluetooth! That'll at least get rid of the aux. cable.

My job gives us Blackberrys and it won't play Pandora thru the bluetooth for some reason. My Android does it with no problem though.

I run my Ipod cable under the center console, because it's using the 12v from the center storage compartment. It's very easy to take the trim off and just tuck your cables in there.


Getting a cellphone holder and some double sided tape helps alot too.

I forgot to clarify, I'm using the stock 300A stereo.
