Thought I'd resurrect this one with a different idea... I got sick of trying to find a solution to this issue last year... Ended up getting an Apple Universal Dock (Like you plug into your home stereo) and mounting it in the centre console, under the gearstick. Just cut a hole the size of the dock and fixed it under the surface of the console, rebated in a little. Advantage of this is I just have to buy a new dock adapter when they (inevitably) change the shape of the iPhone... Can also use it for other iPods. Wired the power into the back of the cigarette lighter and wired the audio out into a cable that comes out the air vent next to the Mygig, so it can plug straight into the audio in when required. I think it's a neat solution... Automatically charges the phone, voice connects via uConnect, audio through the stereo... Even the Apple remote still works (Don't ask me how it works through the plastic console though)!
Wouldn't be great for GPS use, as it's a bit low down to casually glance at the screen while driving... I'm sure you could do the same thing in the top of the dash though?
I don't have any photos unfortunately, as I'm working overseas and left my baby at home... I could organize for someone to get a photo for you though if you were interested?
