iPhone4 mount/charge/wire for audio/video

Does anyone have suggestions or actual experience and success in mounting an iPhone 4 in 07G35x where it also charges and allows you to listen through the car speakers?

Thanks in advanced!

I bought the Apple brand Composite Video Cord and plugged it into the center console input, I purchased a 12V-USB adapter and plugged the USB from the Apple cord into it. I also did the video lock-out mod so I can watch music videos.

Few examples:

Get something like this. I put one in mine a couple years ago. Works great. There are other less expensive similar devices available now as well.

Thanks for the info guys. But where do you mount your iPhone and I want to be able to keep the wires hidden. There is such little room in the center console I would rather noY have then wrapped up in there...suggestions?

I drilled a hole (3/8 or 1/2", not sure) in side the console, beside the RCA jacks, and passed the wire through, toward the front so it can be used for my 5th Gen iPod Video or BB Torch.
Initially the mount I made was like this; https://g35driver.com/forums/v36-aud...lip-mount.html
A while ago I removed the flex clip, repainted the metal with PlastiDip and attached a 1sq.in. piece of Velcro. I put some soft loop Velcro on my iPod and anything else I want to attach. It works great and looks clean.

This one shows my Otterbox case attached. I set my BB Torch in it. I didn't like the Otterbox on the phone so I rigged it up for use in the car instead.

Does anyone else also get a high pitch whine with the Apple wires when charging? Or is that just the charger adapter I'm using?

The G has a bit of a grounding issue when you use the RCA plugs and have a charger attached at the same time.
Get a Ground Loop Isolator. You can find one at you local electronics store, RadioShack/The Source.
