    Very nice...I have the 9835.

    The ipod adapter in mine is finished off in the center console with a cradle in there to hold it tight.

    I'd love to see a picture of the cradle. My installer said there wasn't that much slack in the cable, but he said he might be able to pull out about another 3-4 inches. I was just thinking of putting in some velcro tape and call it a day.

    The arms on the sides expand and contract to hold the iPod in place...I really like it.

    Awesome - so you have that mounted inside the armrest? I've got a similar cradle that attaches to the heating vents for my phone. I wonder if I can just mount it inside there.

    Do you have a problem w/ your Ipod adapter staying powered on after the car and radio are turned offer? I'm concerned that if I keep the ipod plugged in after i turn off the car, that eventually it drains the battery...

    Yes, if I don't shut it off it will stay on and drain the battery.

    Yup - it's annoying, but I just keep the old Ipod plugged in. I know it's bad for the rechargeable battery to keep draining it like that, but it's easier than constantly unplugging it in and out when I get in the truck.

    As long as the VX battery doesn't die out - its all good...

    Just got this in the mail today

    The poor UPS delivery guy had to drive through Snowpocalypse 2011 Chicago today to bring me this... I hope it's worth it!



    I hope to get it installed at my local shop when all this white stuff stops falling.
