I just picked up an Alpine ida-x305 head unit, once you get past it being 18w/needing an amp, it's an awesome deck... the problem is, I can't find a dock to use with it that will hold an ipod mounted where ever without including an FM tuner or power or other crap...
I don't want to just leave it as a long dangling cable, it's too messy... I'd love it if there was a dock, similar to apple's dock, that you plug the cable in on once side (or something that will hold the cable in-place that won't come loose) and you just drop the ipod in, no clips to mess with, no adjusting the size to keep the ipod secure, no locking cable so you have to push buttons to release it from the ipod... the apple dock could work I guess, but isn't the ideal shape for mounting, and of course has no way to secure the ipod when driving, a "sleeve" shape would be better for sliding the ipod/iphone into...
anything like I'm looking for exist? I'm guessing I'm going to have to build one, but I'd like to avoid it if possible so I can keep everything need and pro looking...
