Subject:Ipod installation in your van

Has Anyone found a good place where to located your iPod in your van.
Currently I take the ashtray out, and put it in there while driving.

I have a SONY Head unit with an aux in that I have a stereo rca wired into
and works great, the problem is finding a good spot to mount the base
station for the iPod.

I thought about putting some Velcro down on the dash, just right of the
driving console and mounting the base there, but part of me thinks that
attaching an L bracket to to plastic to the left of the automatic shifter
and placing the base station on their would be a better idea. I could run
the rca cable down there and a power line from the cig. Lighter.

How would I take a constant draw off the cig. Lighter and hardware the power
supply for the ipod? That way the cig. Lighter could still be used for
powering other things. Would this be difficult?

I would be interested in seeing what others have done and hearing your
suggestions...

Thanks in advance,

Rob
