And another iPod in a car

Macbidouille might be becoming the reference site for customised car + iPod :)
We let Jefftrep explain this one.

To keep on alimentaing your topic "iPod and Cars", here is my contribution.
I have a 3G 15Go iPod, and I set it up in hte cup holder of my Volkswagen Jetta. I used the normal AUX input of the Alpine car radio, through the new dock (that is held sitffly in place by velcro scratch -nice and discreet).
Why the dock? It avoids having to plug-unplug the 1/8jack on the iPod and use it prematurely. I locked the mechanism that hold the coffe cup in the cup holder with a piece of plastic, in order to avoid forcing the connection of the iPod on the Dock.
The sound quality is amazing in AAC and the iPod NEVER stuttled (even if the Quebec roads are quite bad!). The iPod is perfectly held and at the perfect heigth for seeing it (without stopping to look at the road ) and at a perfect distance to handle it.
The screen lighting at dusk or night is not disturbing at all and so gorgeous that passengers ask me to leave it on all the time!
After a total disappointment with the FM transmitter from BELKIN, I can eventually enjoy to the max the 15Go of music in my little iPod... well, at least until the battery dwindles away... Until I buy a car charger for the iPod.
