    My Disco 2 Ashtray iPod Dock Conversion.

    Hey all, I just finished modding my D2's ashtray to be more "useful" (I'm a non smoker).
    Super happy with the results. I've blogged it here:

    I modded the ashtray into an iPod / iPhone dock to work in conjunction with my basic Alpine head unit that has USB & iPod support. No cables, no hassles, supports USB and Analogue (via Aux). I'm loving it!

    Cheers

    Wil

    There are several sacred things in life. One of them happens to be another mans coffee machine. Remember this and you'll live a long and happy life.

    Thats a job well done and a very useful modification.

    One small word of advice though for people who might want to apply the same set up to the heavier i-Phone.
    The male and female iPhone socket is not strong enough to withstand constant vibrations and movement on it's own. A support or drop-in cradle for the heavier iPhone would be a good idea to prevent any cracking of the connections as the phone rocks back and forth.
    I recently had a similar problem with a drop in cradle that I purchased for my 3Gs iPhone. Luckily for me it was the soldered connections of the cradle plug that broke and not those inside the phone!


    Nice write up too!
