I installed a single DIN head unit, and brought the iPod cable through the back of the extra compartment.
Here's a mediocre pic, my car is put away for a while. The iPod isn't in there now but you can see the cable:

When I replaced the Blose, I put in Kenwood DNC6450 which supports both Iphone via BT_ADSP and USB cable. I ran the USB cable into the center console and store it under the lid. I then got one of these Iphone holders that I mounded with Velcro to the right of the shifter on the flip door.

Thanks for the responses. My apologies. Let me clarify. I have the Bose syatem using the cassete interface, routing the cables under the console with the IPod in the cup holder. I was looking for ways for the Ipod to appear more professional as if it was iintegrated. BTW, I'm one of the minorities. I like my Bose system.

Its routes into my console. Mine is considered old school as a Generation II IPOD so all the newer smaller generation/versions will certainly fit. Nothing is veiwable it all runs under the Shifter/cup holder tray mount. I am using an Pioneer AVIC Z series Nav unit if you want more pictures of that set up you can view them in My corvette Pictures on the left. The IPOD is controled by either touchscreen, The remote on my sterring wheel or by voice command through my bluetooth adapter. I tend to use voice. GC

I dont have a pic but I use the tape recorder that has a line that plugs into the headphone jack. I ran the wire behind all of the trim and up through the cupholder where my ipod sits. Its a great setup because it is all hidden and easy to do!

Is this set up something I can get online. That's pretty slick. With digital music I don't need a CD player anymore.

Wow, just wow! I know less than nothing about electronics, but I had been told straight up (by multiple radio/stero shops) there is absolutely no way possible to install an audio in jack in a Bose System this old like most new cars have. I guess I was wrong.
Details please on how this was done. I have seen a website of some guy that did stuff like this but it was an arm and a leg to do. About $500 and up if my memory serves me right. That just seems outrageous just to install an audio jack. All I want is an audio in jack like pretty much all late model cars have. The cassette adapter works, but you give up soooooooo much in sound quality with that.
The stock Bose system sounds okay with CD's, but who uses CDs anymore? I just tried a CD once to see the difference in sound quality. Night and day (CD vs. cassette adapter hooked into an Ipod)

This is the place that did it for me. I had to have my cd player repaired
so I had him do the i-pod jack at the same time. It is very nice!!

but mine in the 94 sounds exactly the same with a CD or the cassette adapter.
Some songs are a lot worse than others.
For example, we all know the KT Tunstall song...the black horse and the cherry tree. When I play that song in my truck which has an audio jack, it sounds like I am listening to a CD. Great sound quality. However, when I play the same song on my Ipod through the cassette adapter in the 'vette, it sounds like she's sining the song with SEVERE chest congestion. Sounds really raspy. But when I listen to it on a CD in the 'vette, it sounds good like in the truck.
