Where do you guys place your ipods when they're connected to the head units?

 

the glove compartment. out of the way but still easily accessible.

 

i think that is the only safe place to put it unless the cable can reach to the arm rest but then you have to make a hole just to get the cable through which of course isn't a big deal because you won't be able to notice it.

 

Wouldn't it get really hot in the glove compartment? Do you have a pic of how it looks in there?

 

i don't have this headunit in my car but i have seen it in others. why would it get hot in the glove compartment?? my stuff never get hot in there unless i leave my windows up on a really hot and then everything inside gets hot

 

I just assumed that maybe it would get hot or something in the summertime being stuck in their without any airflow.

 

the ipod will be fine in the glove compartment.

 

Mine's in the glove box too...... never had a problem so far. As far as it getting hot...well the HU get's hot too. even hotter cause it' sitting on top of an amp & has moving parts which the IPOD has none.. I aint worried....... worked great all last summer & I expect it to last many more summers... good luck... jh

 

Mine is in the glove box all the time, I only take it out to add more tunes.

 

Do you have it just laying in there or is it secured somehow? I was thinking of doing something more along the lines of this...

 

i have mine on a bracketron bracket in my center console. it's hidden and outta the way, most ipod cables are about 7 feet or so so you can put it anywhere.

9/10 cables that i install i run to the glove and people just let em lay in there. heat is not an issue, think of rollin with your ipod in your pocket?

no biggie

 

Everything is controlled by my head unit, I do not have to touch it so it just lays in my glove box.

 

I keep my iPod in the little pocket below the radio. (1st gen). Only time I take it out is to update the playlist. Never gets even the slightest bit warm.

 

Doesnt it rattle over bumps from the ipod moving around?

 

no more than your owners manual or stash or sunglasses or whatever else you keep in there.
