hey guys,

I was just wondering what any of you would recommend for a permanent stand/mount for your iPod in the car. I am leaning towards something made by Arkon resources, either the CM622, which glues to the side of your console and has adjustable grips to hold the pod, or the CM625, which has a steel arm that bolts to the passenger side seat-rail, and has the same adjustable grips. However, i'm open to hearing about any other make/model of stand that any of you out there have had good experiences with. Also, if anyone in the Toronto area could recommend where to find a good stand, i'd be really grateful.

Any recommendations/reviews appreciated!

thanks.

I ordered my arkon cm625, seems to be the best, i dont want my ipod all the way up by the dash because im already a *REALLY GOOD* driver haha. Ill post pics when i get it.

I recently got a CM123 which mounts through the car vent. The iPod is just were I want it, but it is still difficult to navigate through all my songs while I drive. Red lights are just not long enough for once.
There is another model similar to this that uses a "patented air grip technology" that is a few more dollars. It probably is easier to mount and unmount the iPod with it.
Overall I pretty happy with the one I have.

Good one, Neo_Mingus Patented AirGrip Technology is almost as good as suction cups. But seriously- the Belkin cupholder thing looks pretty cool, and it's the holder VW is selling people with the Pods Unite campaign. It's supposed to be on sale in a couple of months- it used to be on Belkin's website, but now it's been taken down for some reason. I went to see it at the VW dealer, it's cool!

I bought a cellphone mount from Radio Shack. It sticks to the windshield with a suction cup (very strong) and grips the iPod really well. I'll be posting some pics soon for people to see.

I use a mount from RadioShack (part 17-551) which works well. The fit's pretty snug using the silicone DLO 3G cover. Pictures of the install are at my site.

They have vehicle specific mount kits.

that stuff interferes with my dvd player, so i wasted 48 bucks getting it, still waiting for my cm625

I got a $5.99 cell phone holder from the drugstore chain Walgreens, it took a little modification to fit the iPod, but at $5.99 its pretty good.

My only complaint is it would not be big enough to hold an ipod in some kind of skin, case or enclosure.

I like this OEM look approach. It looks just like a bracket however. What do you attach to the bracket that actually holds the iPod. Am i missing something?

Thanks,
Macman.

I picked up a cell phone mount from Radio Shack that fits the iPod perfectly. It is screwed right into the interior of my 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Combined with the Belkin Auto Kit, a wire to my JVC head unit's line input, and the iSkin eXo (asphalt), I think i have a pretty nice set up. Here are some pics: (sorry, I didn't realize that the parking brake is kind of in the way of the photos, and I also didn't realize how filthy my car is):

Why not just get a second dock for your car, surely the classiest solution.

Don't go dissin' or blaming Canada without knowing the details. That's how Americans get the reputation of being ignorant.
