For those with a 'grey market' HUD

[bush1e]

Hi all

I've been reading these forums for a long time now, love the forums and love the aurion. After reading posts by the members here I installed an ebay'd HUD, and it's working very well. I have the one sold by autome305. However, I haven't put the ipod port anywhere, because I can't decide on a good place to have it. Where did you guys put it?

For those who don't know, the ipod cable plugs into the back of the unit, and the other end of the cable had an ipod connector. The cable is just loose, and flops around like an untrained seal as there is no obvious place to have it. I'm not that keen on cutting out some part of the dash to access it.

Any ideas, and especially pictures, would be much appreciated, thanks.

I put my eclipse iPC106 in my glove box (same general concept at the ebay headunit)... that way the ipod is safely out of view.

for those with the ipod cable, could you please enlighten me with how you ran it from the unit into the cabin? did you have to drill any holes?

cheers

At the back of your glovebox, there is a cutout that allows access to the cabin air filter. This is the perfect place to run your iPod cable if you intend on leaving it in the glovebox like most people. Only issue is the navigation for the iPod is crap on the Auspack unit and in my opinion, the idea of leaving it in the glovebox doesn't work out since you can probably control it easier on the iPod. Anyways, if it did work properly, this is what you would do.

Here is a photo for reference. There is lots of space to run the cable up to there from the head unit so no need to cut or drill:

As for the iPod adapter, I didn't need to drill any holes. There is a little cutout at the rear of the glove box that gives access to the pollen filter. You can conveniently route your iPod cable through here and that way it will remain out of sight.

For the aux-in and iPod cables, you can easily route them to where ever you want. I chose to run mine into the glove box where it is out of the way.

Not cheap but i use it as a holder for my iphone and it keeps the cable nice and neat also.
