Finished up my iPhone armrest docking station.
My iPhone was always dying on me so I decided I needed something to charge it with. I decided to make a mount in my armrest for it so it would be secure and easily accessible. With much help from John(Neutured Sputnicks) I got an Ipod interface for my Eclipse head unit hooked up so that I could play all music from my iPhone through my head unit and maintain dash controls as well. One awesome feature when a phone call comes in the music automatically turns down and the ring goes through the speakers. The original perforated leather armrest got a little stretched and loose after installing everything so I decided to go with suede instead and make it much cleaner imo. Have this in the electronics section already so you might have seen it but oh well.
Here is the final results. Everything works perfect so far!

Looks good!Chich adapter/ charger did you use?
The charger/ radio adapter for my ipod said the same thing that it wasn't made for the iphone and it would still send the music to the radio but it didn't charge the phone

smart! can you talk to the speakers(radio) when you get a call?
I also think I can use the Youtube feature so any song I want I can look up and then play through my speakers which is pretty awesome.

I havent tried anything out yet. I'm sure I could always get a little mic or something.
