I have a Parrot MKi9100 with ipod/USB and jack connections just hanging loose in the glove box but wanted to neaten it up a bit, so I converted my ashtray into a ipod/USB dock.
I started by making a flat sheet of fibreglass to use as the mount and cutting to shape. I suppose you could use plastic but I work with fibreglass so its as easy.
I had a surplus ipod adaptor, which you get with any ipod docking station for use in the home so I thought best to use it to make it look more of a factory finish.
I also cut a slot in the ashtray insert to thread the cables through.
Here's all the components before any assembly.

All stuck together before fitting. I used Araldite 2 part glue to fix all the parts together.

Time for fitting in the car. I removed the ashtray pod to be able to thread the cables up to the back of the dash. I then screwed the ashtray pod back and inserted the new ipod dock in place. Excuse the dust in the pics. lol
