So i got a iPhone 5, I have a iPod but a old one, so no need to have two music devices in my truck at the same time, so this is what I did, I think it looks clean and good

i totally agree man, while in drive, the shifter isnt in the way at all, i know it isnt a huge fab or anything like that, but a easy way to put a simple luxury in our squares!!!

I did something like that with my phone, for the GPS app I have lol. These trucks are so easy to modify and add nice things like that

Why not just replace the radio with a BT unit and wirelessly listen to music and/or GPS?
that way you use a windshield cup to hold the phone in view like a HUD

I think my radio has that, but incase it doesn't I'm not buying a new radio if I don't have to, just sayin
