Get one of these from TOAD and either leave the mic clip off and use velcro or go to walmart and get a cell phone clip and put it on the back of your ipod and it will slide right in.....

Default Bullfrog Bracket

Check out Bullfrog's [Toad] bracket:



I added the industrial velcro...



It's solid. Easy to install. You can run a line from the headphone output straight to the AUX input and hide the excess in the dash.

Good stuff. You can PM Toad or Bullfrog through the site.

Default drivers side ipod mount bought from TOAD!!!

i've had this installed for a while now but this is the 1st chance i've had to post the pics..i bought this mount from TOAD and it's exactly what i was looking for..and more.....it's so convenient and doesn't obstruct your already small view at all.....i love it and everyone with an ipod that's looking for a place to mount it should buy one of these!! looked everywhere and could not find anything remotely close to this in retailers...it's slim and fits perfectly...

let me know what yall think..............thanks TOAD






sorry for the poor pic..it was already dark out when i took this

I quit worrying about how to mount it and worry about it getting stolen so I just made a couple mp3 CD's , can put 255 songs on a CD, no worries.

that's true... and those that have a DVD player can fit ~800 on a DVD-RW. when you get tired of it, erase it and re-use it. its nice to have cause you never have to worry about leaving it out, or worry about the batts randomly quiting.


but i like having my archos as my music player because...
A)random feature
B)"play all" feature where it just picks a random song out of the 22,000 i have on it.
C)i have all my music with me right then and there. no changing cds/dvds

and those with iPods can agree.
