    My planned Mod: Mount & Power an iPhone in instrument cluster

    I'm planning a mod for my Q7 to move the AMI connection from the box within the center console to between the Speedometer and Tach.

    What I'm planning:

    Get a 6ft Black iPod Dock Extension cord from:
    http://www.cablejive.com/extendercable.html

    Connect the female end to the current AMI connection,
    and then run that extension thru the center console out underneath the dash near the steering column.

    Then bring the new male end up behind the "fabric-like" skirt
    that bridges the steering column.

    I'll Dremel out a space for the ipod jack to fit through that bridge and glue it in place.

    My goal is to be able to mount the iPhone in a heads up display within the center console so that i can keep eyes on NYC Traffic cams (App: NY Traffic Cam) and a few other Nav based apps.

    I'm also hoping having it eye level will also keep me from constantly leaving it in the car when ever i head to work or head into the house.

    I'll let you know how i do with the Mod.
