Cool IPod Holder

I just got my Harvest Moon Turbo Convert. a few months ago and installed the Dice IPod Classic adaptor. I love it.... The only problem is that I had to hold the IPod all the time or put it in the seat next to me. I decided to design a holder for it with a ProClip mount that would take the place of the Bud Vase. I just finished the prototype and it looks great. Take a look... What do Ya Think...

Give me a heads up on what you think about the prototype...

Looks nice. Won't it sit too high? I'm not familiar with the specs of iPods and how much heat they can take but won't the heat from the exposure of the sun damage it in some way?

I have a case for my Nano that came with a velcro arm wrap. I wrap the arm wrap around the passenger grab bar on the dash and clip the case to the wrap. There's only a short wire to Rita's iPod input jack. You do have to be careful as to when and how you use the iPod's controls, but I live in BFE and traffic's light.

Unhappy It was too tall!

I did have to cut the clear shaft to make it fit. At the time I did not have my car with me to check. It work great. Right next to the wheel, so easy song change. I will post new pics as soon as they become available (meaning when I take them).

This looks nice, I'm looking for an iPod holder. Question? Does it fit an iPod with a cover or case on it. I have one now that will only fit if the iPod (Classic)is not in a case, every time I want to use it I have to take the case off. Does it only fit the Classic?
Good Luck with it, how about a pix in the Beetle

I made this to fit my Classic 160G and it only fits a classic without a cover/case. The clip that is holding the Ipod is from ProClip. You can get any clip to fit any Pod. I really need to break down and take a picture of the finished product. I don't even use the radio anymore... I Love it! i will take some pics of it soon...
