To play off your auxilary jack you have to hold down the CD key to switch it to AUX mode. Then you can play the IPOD/IPHONE/ITOUCH

I got a scoshe(i believe was the brand) Ipod/MP3 holder from Walmart for like $10. Its black, vent mounted and cheap so it worked for me.

Edit- This is the one I got, doesn't swivel though, but u probably don't need it if u put it on the vent between the wheel and the stereo.

I found my own solution. I went to The Source and purchased the scoshe
window/vent holder. It stated that it swiveled 360 however that was not the case with the vent holder but was with the window holder. which essentially is a swiveling universal holder with an articulating arm and suction cup.

Well being the fart smeller that I am... er I mean smart feller I figured if I remove the Ashtray and cover the hole there with a Silver piece of aluminum that matches the TC SST and is anchored by having a base unit that went into the void it would be secure and the aluminum would provide a flat non porrous surface for the suction to attach.

But I am impatient so I stuck my hand in the cubby that my AUX jacks are located and low and behold the roof of this cubby has plastic that is smooth like glass!

So flip the window mount upside down twist the articulating arm and then attach to the roof of the cubby and Voila!

This works great and is in a great location it can swivel for widescreen mode and the Aux ipod jack cord is tucked nicely in the cubby out of sight and easily retractable if you need more cord!


I'll post pics one of these days.

It sure beats having crap stuck to the windsheild and the annoying cord getting in the way.

Thumbs up

Here's the one I decided on after lots of shopping around. Has both vent and windscreen mounts in the box. Rotates for portrait/landscape and is really well built:
