So I've been wondering for months what to do with the console ash tray and yesterday it occured to me it would make a mighty fine place to mount the new 4th gen nano horizontilly since that's how it plays vids anyway.
Check it out. Literally took me less than 2 hours and cost nothing.

that's pretty sweet, nice work
but the dash ashtray is not useless.... i keep it filled with coins. i live in a part of town where, well, lets just say you would not expect to find an infiniti.... so everytime i get gas, i get asked for money, and if i dont give them something, i feel like my car is the target of violence, so i keep that ashtray filled with coins to give out as an extra insurance policy haha

Are you using USA-SPEC PA11-NIS? If so, does it charge the 4th gen ipod nano? I have PA11-NIS as well, thinking about upgrading to the 4th gen nano but I heard it doesn't charge.

It's pretty buggy too. For example if you are playing a video playlist and hit the seek button on the steering to go to the next song, it goes to the next song, plays about 3 seconds and stops. If you use the click wheel to jump to the next song it works fine. Seems to crash alot too.
I would have definately stuck with my 3rd gen if I would have known. Not too happy with Apple on this one
