06.29.10 - i was bored today and i thought of doing something about the ipod aux cord since it came out the bottom of the centre console.. i don't even smoke.. so i could use the ashtray for something else! so i've decided to make a ipod dock out of it.. =D here's how i did it =)

i started taking my centre console apart so i could reroute the wire.. mess here xD

stay tuned for more.. when i think of more.. xD thanks for viewing!

it's looking great, however, would the placement of the ipod not interfere with your shifter when you hit 3rd gear?

1989 Skyline? Purchased it from a guy who resides in white rock but works in Newton? I remember this car, it was either me buying this one or the one I currently own. Great condition car, and great seller. You should bring your car out tomorrow evening to the skyline meet. We meet every Thursday night at 7:30-8ish at lougheed underground. PM me if you're interested, we can cruise out together, as I live in Surrey as well.

Theres a members journal section dedicated to builds :)

ikkaku: nope it doesn't, i'm not officially done it as well, i wanna see if i can actually make a mount to hold it in place =)

chinezeboi: yeah i did purchase it from a guy that lives in whiterock =P i'm the 3rd owner for this car. yeah the guy was really nice and he really knew his stuff. and we'll go cruise once i can drive it lol

yaminashi: ohhh is there? could the mod move this thread over there?
