Ipod Docking Bar for Car?
Does anybody make a proper Ipod docking bay for in the car?
I have had zero luck finding one and find this absurd.
You can buy cheap plastic holders for mounting it to the dashboard or for placing it in a drink holder, but neither are really a docking bay.
The same goes for cables. Currently, I'm using a combination of a cigarette lighter adapter for power and a double-ended 1/8" stereo cable for the audio. It makes for a very clumsy and ugly installation. The closest cable that I have found is a combination A/V cable with power, but it includes 3 RCA adapters on the cable. Left and Right Audio and Video. I do not need the video and in order to adapt the audio to the car, I would need a secondary cable to combine the L & R audio into the 1/8" stereo jack on my dashboard.
Every other product from XM radio to cellphones all have proper docking bays, yet the hugely popular Ipod does not. I find this absolutely baffling.
I am tempted to buy the cable that I mentioned above and make modifications, but it's fairly expensive and am convinced that as soon as I do, somebody will release a proper docking bay (cables and all) for the same price.
Has anyone out there seen anything?
Thanks in advance,
Eric
