Yeah because thats avoidable,
Regarding leaving your phone in your car when your not, cars get broken in to all the time just because there are suction cup marks on the windscreen because people think the sat nav is sat in the glove box, which they usually are |
Granted but satnavs and mobile phones cant be compared, unless of course you carry your tom tom round with you incase you get lost  Having a nice HU and audio equipment would make it a much higher risk than having an iphone dock.

It's a lot more discreet than most docks, air vent holders etc. Granted it could pose a risk of being broken into but just the world we live in unfortunately. If I was in such a dodgy area it is fully removable

To be honest the cabling routing wasnt to hard, its a lot easier if you take the centre dash section out instead of getting your hand stuck in the headunit cage lol

I might give this a go tomorrow. It would be better than having the cable in the glovebox.

Is that the Alpine IDA x305?
I'm looking at getting one of these, are they any good?
Y'know you can change between red and blue, does the red come out as a pink?
Cheers

Yeah its the IDA-x305
Its a quality unit, i was a bit dubious about the navigation of the iphone but its clear, easy to use and easy set up. You can change to red, the buttons are deep red, the screen does look pink but there are settings to change the background type and there is one which looks red so you wil be fine if you want red NOT pink.
