I think the headunit is awesome! no wires anywhere and it charges the Ipod/Iphone  :cool:

I got an iPhone holder that was designed to screw into these little cups  that then rest in the drinks holder, I just screwed it into a dash blank (easily replaceable) and the headunit I had at the time had a built in iPod lead so was good

Also was idea for phone satnav etc
