iPod Docking
To the guys with ipods in their cars:
What do you use to "dock" your ipod in your car. I bought one made by Belkin yesterday which plugs into the cigarrete lighter, but its too "flimsy"; it won't secure tight enough to stay in place.
BTW i'm using the regular auxillary input to listen to the ipod. Sounds pretty good.

I don't have the Ipod integration kit(I can't change songs with the steering wheel or thru COMAND). I have an auxillary cable running from the ipod to the auxillary jack in the glove box. I have to change songs on the actual ipod itself(I know it sucks).
I was wondering if someone used some sort of aftermarket or dealer in-car dock to mount the ipod.

In my last car, I bought the Ipod docking stations from best buy and Radio shack. It plugged directly into the lighter socket and I was able to position it so that I can see it while driving. It wasnt that easy to operate and mostly I would take it out and hold it in my hand to change the channels.
