    So i had an idea i was playing around with and wanted to share. I hate keeping my phone on my belt while im driving its a pain.

    The Lancers have a change holder right in front of where the cup holders are. I was curious to see if would come out and it does

    So i took an Iphone and an Ipod cradle and see if it would fit and it did. With a little drilling and some wire routing it could work. The cradles are a little small but you can fix that and it would also stabilize the cradle. I will also paint the cradle black to match the interior.

    I dont have pics yet but once i attempt it i will post pictures. Just curious as to what everyone thinks.

    Well, i have my fone set up for bluetooth on my car, so i just throw it on the seat and if it rings, my car tells me. But pics would be great, cuz i need a place to put my ipod and my ignorantly long 3foot audio cable :(

    Yea i know some people have bluetooth set up but the cool thing is theoretically it would work for an Ipod or an Iphone i tend to use my iphone as my ipod and my phone.

    Before i attempt it im going to post pics of what im thinking.

    I do set my ipod in that space, i have an ignorantly long cable though, i try to hide it as much as i can in between my seat and the console.

    could the cable be routed through the console?

    Yeah I was thinking about doing that, but I would assume you would have to drill a hole somewhere for the cables to come back out of the console.

    Well i have been really busy lately and had not gotten around to finishing up the project however someone else on another forum actual did it. His is a little different from what i have in mind since i want to put the whole cradle in for an iphone so i can have my music and my phone in a nice resting position. But if anyone is interested here is the link
