[C320-list] iPod

[Gary Malcolmson]

Jeff,

Here is a link to a cable that might be just what you're looking for:

The photo may be a bit deceiving as the print says the cable is 8 ft 
long (I assume they mean from the iPod connection to the junction 
block.  I plan on using this on my boat installation and for now just 
not using the video plug.

Question, where did you get your mount for your iPod?

Good Luck
