iPhone / iPod Mounts and Integration

I'm looking for ideas for cleanly mounting and integrating an iPhone into our new to us 08 Highlander Sport w/o nav or bluetooth. If you have pics of your iPhone mounting solution or suggestion on how to integrate it into the stock stereo please post them.

So far I've order this mount:
Amazon Amazon

And this bluetooth adapter:
Amazon Amazon


The cupholder mount came in today and so far it works great. It tilts and swivels and I was able to mount it into one of the rubber cupholder sleeves so it is easy to move from one spot to the other or remove entirely. It's really well built for a $10 part. The only negative is that it holds the phone low in the car and is not the ideal location for using while driving. The flip side of that is it is very easy to reach from the armrest.

I'll post an update when the BT adapter comes in.

I hade one of thse from Target that I got a while back that worked ok, but it was not optimal for viewing when driving (using Nav). Any it seemed to get in the way a lot mroe than i wanted it too. I picked up the one from Monoprice that has a windshield mount and air vent mount. I clipped it to the air vent and it works great. I never use the center ones anyways. And the Nav is in a great spot. PLus you can't hardly beat $4+ shipping

No sure I get the point of the BT adapter? Does the iphone not allow you yo use the headphones for speaker phone over the speakers? I jsut ran a short cable to my phone and it works great (android not iphone), I have BT in my car so I don't use it, but I can use the aux as the speaker for the call and the phone as the mic. I guess I am missing something

The BT adapter makes it so you don't have to mess with the aux cable. The phone should automatically sync with it so you can just drop the phone in the holder and go. They claim you can make calls with it but I'm going on the assumption that it doesn't work very well.

If it works well I'll add a hidden power port and maybe relocate the aux port so all the cables are hidden.
