I've got an interface to link my iPod Classic (and my phone) to the stereo in my car.

Unlike an "aux in" this is a digital link that "locks" the iPod but allows the head unit to skip tracks, select playlists etc. It's a bit limiting because if I want to find a specific album I have to stop, disconnect the iPod (thus "unlocking" it), select what I want to listen to, then reconnect and I'm away.

The iPod lives in the glovebox, which is fine as I can't do anything with it when it's plugged in anyway.

However, happy days, I've just been sent an update that will allow me to "unlock" the iPod and control it without having to disconnect it.

So what would be great would be to have a neat bracket so that the iPod can live in easy sight so that I can change albums on the move, a bit like changing a radio station.

Trouble is, I can't find a neat car bracket for it, only ugly adjustable generic brackets with thick "shoulders" that grip the unit.

Anyone know where I can get a simple bracket that is neat and will hold an iPod Classic?

Hope someone can help? smile

Have you got a cup holder within easy reach? I put my iPhone in a Griffin iSqueez when it's plugged in the car.

That's a really neat solution but sadly not.

Centre console looks like this (not my car, just a quickly goggled image) so the only option is a bracket on the side I think.

Try Brodit

They have holders for everything and numerous different mounts for specific cars that use air-vents/gaps in dash etc.

No cheap but the probably one of the best you can buy.

Brodit Brodit Brodit.

I had it on my old car for the same reason that it the touchscreen rock solid and you could tap through music etc. If my new car didn't have a harddrive for music I would have gone for Brodit again.

Also, the only branding they have on them are gel stickers with the name which peel right off and leave it looking really OEM.
