Ipod mount
Thought I'd share some pics of my Sunday project.
I've had this in mind for awhile and finally got around to doing it. I've had my Ipod holder mounted on my ebrake handle with some zip ties.
Not very pretty, but having an automatic, I rarely use the ebrake and it was the perfect spot for it--i.e. within easy reach and not tossed in my cup holder or on the passenger seat, and not inside the console where the temps can get quite warm.
I saw this material called "kydex" that another member had used to do some custom work, and I figured it would be just the ticket for what I wanted to do. Now, I can slip the holder onto the ebrake whenever I take my Ipod with me, and remove it quickly when I don't want it on there.

Cool idea. I have some Kydex in the garage but think I will do it a little differently.

When it cools, it holds whatever shape you put it in and it's very sturdy. Here's a couple links I came across while trying to figure out how to work with it.

Takes two seconds to slip it off the handle.
With an automatic, I rarely use the ebrake, so it's not an issue for me. MN6 guys would have to make the call on that one.
My first attempt at making a this was going to be hard mounted to the right of my radio and hvac, but the fit was too tight between the console bezel and the dash, so I came up with this. For me, it's the perfect placement, but I'm sure others will come up with their own solutions.
