Installing My Alpine iDA-x100 This Weekend

[RichoVZ]

Thanks to a member here, ive picked up an alpine ida-x100. for those who dont know what that is, it is an alpine headunit that uses only the ipod. does not play cd's unless you buy a cd changer for it.

now i might be installing it this weekend, anyone got any tips or advice? where would be the best place to run the usb cable to the ipod to store? glovebox?

Glovebox, single-DIN pocket under/above HU, centre console, centre armrest, or even perhaps some custom mount on the dash?

Ahh, great to hear to received it OK.

Unless you wanna do some custom work i would just put it in the glovebox mate.

thanks mate, was going to pm you but kept forgetting!

what kind of custom work can i do? maybe i can build a cradle for it? or what other mounts can i do?

oh also, it is the ida-x001... its not the ida-x100, but they seem to be similar

yeh i installed one of these into a vt wagon, straight forward job nothing different to the usual, i ran te ipod into the console in the end, alot of ****ing around but looked good. ran power cables down drivers side and rca's down passenger side.

Oh really, sorry i didnt even realise. Hopefully it still does what you want it to?
