Default iPod Mount in '07 GT

I'd prefer not to use adhesives, and have even less of a desire to drill mounting holes into the car. Today, I saw a cup-holder with flexible wand type gizmo that looked decent, but it would get in the way of my arm/shifting. So, to those of you who use your iPod in your Mustang, . . . how do you have it mounted? Thanks!

Since you have an '07 I assume you have an aux input jack? I picked up this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1168042838908 and plug it into my dash outlet. I have an auto so the cord doesn't get in my way, but it looks like there might be enough to get it out of the way of your shifter.

Check out www.kudausa.com The setup for my 06 should be in Tuesday, I'll post pics after that. It's a pretty sweet package. It looks factory, and depending on what type of interface cable you're using, you can buy an Ipod dock so you don't ever have to mess with unplugging the cable..

Thanks! Yes, I do have the aux input jack, and that looks pretty nice, but . . . where/how do you mount the cradle? Maybe I'm being too **** about the whole thing, as throwing it in a cup holder isn't all that bad.

Very good idea they've got there, though neither color would match my interior. Thanks for the suggestion though. I might shoot them off an e-mail to see if they've got other colors, or are planning to add them to the lineup. Looking forward to seeing your pics!

the whole thing just plugs into the power outlet and has a moveable arm that holds the ipod. only downside is it seems the ipod is a bit too heavy so it ends up drooping a bit

i have a itravel that i used until i got my perephrial setup (which really is the way to go cause you can control your ipod through your stock player and keep your ipod in your center consol) but it costs a bit more than just a fm converter... anyway the itravel is nice because you can just plug it into your cigerette lighter above your cd player and it will hold your ipod and everything. i would be willing to let mine go for cheap but its white though if thats a problem... pm me

So the center console has to remain open? Honestly, I'm not normally this dense. LOL

I Google'd iTravel, and found one site without pictures, and a bunch of other sites with un-related products by the same name. Do you have a pic or a link to site that sells it? Thanks.
