    I hardwired my ipod mini and need a mount that meets the following criteria:



    1. I want it to mount at the middle or bottom of my center console. I just don`t care for the vent mounts (clip type).



    2. I would like one that would hold the dock connector so that I could slide the ipod in and out without having to always plug it in.



    3. Finally, I don`t want to have to screw it in ruining the console.



    They probably don`t make a mount like this but can someone please guide me in the right direction. If anything I can attempt to modify an existing one. I tried posting on ilounge but it takes a while to get feedback.



    Thanks

    Brodit do a number of iPod mounts which mate to their "clip-on" mounting system. These mounts don`t require drilling. You may also want to look at the PocketDock by SendStation to give you a true line-out from the iPod, rather than using the headphone connector. Seems much more neat than trying to hack something together from a spare dock.

    I use the Belkin Car Dock for my iPod, as well as a Sendstation Line Out PocketDock for the audio.

    Also, I use the Griffin AirClick remote control, as it comes with a steering wheel mount, so I can control my iPod without taking my eyes off the road.



    Good luck! Hardwiring the iPod is definitely the way to go. Don`t even bother with the iTrip...

    Don`t know if you can get them in the US, but Dension do a kit with a dock cable for hidden installations without a mounting cradle.

    This link might be more for the hardwiring, but it also might lead to some mounts:
