Easy and low cost iPhone mounting, power and audio integration

Just though I'd share a very low cost mod I did. I wanted a way to mount my iPhone, have it charge and output audio to the stock Bose unit.

 

Well I followed the Bose hack guide and soldered the two RCA phone jacks to the tape output.

 

Then took out the factory sat nav to find a very convenient silver mounting bracket.

 

I bought a £2 iphone holder from Amazon and cable tied it to this bracket.

 

Also bought the iPhone video kit cable from Amazon and a usb cig lighter adaptor (1 amp will charge faster than a 0.5 amp). Connected the audio connectors to the bose and the usb lead to the cig lighter adaptor. I ran the usb lead round the back of the dashboard to the passenger cig lighter.

 

Without the Sat nav and controls there is space for an iPad mini. May look for a cheap one and fit it.
