BMW E30 IPOD Dock

[russell5951]

So I got a new head unit and it has the USB in the rear. I decided I wanted an Ipod dock for my touch. Couldn't find anything online so I made one.

Just cut a piece of would to fit in the ashtray.

Painted it with Polydip.

Glued the cord to one of the Ihome inserts.

Sorry for the not so good pictures. Took them late last night.

Its a little tight so I need to trim it a little. Pulling the Ipod out usually pulls the whole tray out.

So let me know what you think or post some pictures of your own custom dock!
Cheers!

That looks great. I was considering an aftermarket deck forms e28 but decided to stick with original dust for the look

you should have mounted it up a little so you can push the button on bottom.

it looks good though

I wanted to mount the insert on top but the Ipod was really wobbily. I might try and find a better insert. This whole thing cost me 5 bucks. I am hoping to see what other people have done.
