iPod in Infiniti G35

Dude - thats a very professional lookig install - definitely keeps up the quality of your interior. Great job!

In regards to being out of any league - it all about how far you want to go with your car. The site is not just for freaks like me who go crazy and install everything we can get our hands on.

As for the faceplate, the original one was simply cut out of an old plastic notebook I found in a closet with an xacto knife. That didn't last long and I really wasn't happy with how flimsy it was. The newer, nicer one was laser-cut out of 1/8" ABS plastic by a prop-maker friend of mine.

I'm quite impressed with how many custom dash installations can be found here where people have made entire dash replacement parts, and frankly, I feel a little out of my league with my silly little iPod install. Had it not been for my friend who helped with the faceplate, my install would definitely not be worthy of this forum. Keep up the excellent work!

Thanks for the tip on carmac. I'll have to check it out.

I just got my 15Gb IPOD for free from this place: Get Your Free IPOD Here.

Now I just need to find a website that gives away free BMW's.

Happy Listening!

Yea. You had a choice of a 4g IPOD Mini in any color, or a white 15g IPOD. I chose the 15g and it was a refurb, but in new condition with the factory packing. Couldn't even tell.

has anyone seriously done this? i highly doubt it. nothing is ever free.

**GinoRP** · 07-11-2004, 05:25 PM

I thought I remember reading that it's only available to the US. I just went back to the website and saw that it doesn't say that anymore. I did notice that they added "IPOD's may be referbished".

Good Luck. It took forever to get it in the mail. They use ecost.
