2007 Altima Hybrid,
I have my iPhone integrated into my Nav system. I pulled out the ash tray console. Unscrewed the auxiliary mini plug. Plugged a splitter into it. One side went into an iPhone dock. The other side was plugged into a cable that on one end was a mini pin to the dock and the other was bare wire. I soldered that end to a mini plug from Radio Shack. Then screwed that back to the hole from the original auxiliary plug. I then connected a cable that had a 30pin iPod plug to the dock. The other end was bare red and black. I connected them to the back of the cig lighter. I cut the ash tray so the dock would fit. Now I dock my iPhone, play my iTunes. When the phone rings, it puts the song on hold and the iPhone call comes threw the Bluetooth of the Nav system. The phone keeps charging!

Hrmmm that sounds interesting...you should creat a how-to thread and wouldn't it work much better if you had the iPhone turned in landscape so you can use the cover flow view to quickly browse through playlists. If you don't want to create a how-to...go ahead and post some pictures fo how it looks so we all can see. I was looking at creating a horizontal type dock for the guys that don't have the Nav and place it in the pocket below the stereo and it would even work for the iPod touch. Thanks for the info though

USB is 5v, the back of your cig lighter is not 5v. If you're saying you straight connected the power wires in the USB cable to the cars 12v supply without a transformer them I'm surprised you haven't already cooked the iPhone.
