Here is the finished product. I am kind of rethinking doing a DIY because I ran into a lot of problems today.

The dock would not allow the Kenwood iPod cable to play music because the iPhone recognizes the dock and the cable and gives an error that only one accessory may be used. Needless to say I had to hack up the dock and custom fabricate my own dock. I basically pulled the guts of the dock out and used just the plastic white part as my base and fed the Kenwood iPod cable through the dock hole and secured it with crazy glue and a metal bracket. I then made a back support as member chops had recommended. I used half a Belkin IPhone case and wrapped it in vinyl. Some more crazy glue and lots of high hopes and this is the finished product.





This was easily a 4 day project of trial and error. I assume it's a project not many will want to take on. But if you do, let me know and I will make a DIY.
