I have a 2005 G35 coupe 6 m/t with navigation but without satellite radio. Like everyone else I want to have a way to play my iPOD through the factory head unit. I also want a way to mount/display the iPOD. So after searching, reading, and reviewing everything I can possibly find about the subject I have come up with the following:

I am going to buy PAC's AAI-NIS2. It is clearly the easiest way to link into the factory headunit and provide an auxillary port. (NOTE - if you have questions about PAC's AAI-NIS2....just call them. They have been very helpful to me so far.)

The next challenge was how to display/mount the ipod. There are a multitude of ways to do this. However, I am intrigued by the following set up and am currently contacting JML Audio to find out more information.

Looks pretty cool..if you don't use your cup holder

 

On the 6m/t there is not a cupholder there, it is simply a compartment covered by the rollaway top. So I figure this would make better use of that space.

 

under my rollaway there is a popup divider that makes that cubby a cup holder...i mounted mine under the armrest cubby with my display screen where the ashtray used to be

 

thats sick, I just worry about window smasher crackheads stealing it.

 

If it was recessed enough while the iPod was in it, THEN maybe it would be viable...but like Speeddreamz said. Crackheads would gank it in a heartbeat if you cant close the rollaway over it.

 

Actually it really is a cup holder I have a 6MT as well.

The giveaway is the spring loaded clip that when up seperates the two sides (a little)

 

ps I have a 2003.5, so maybe the 2005 doesn't have what I am talking about

 

it's very clean looking.....

 

Nice!!!!!!

YOu could always take it out when you leave your car.

 

OF COURSE...but what a hassle. Thats like carrying an old-school faceplate around with you at that point. The same principle is being defied.
