lajo- car clip for exo in the works?

Were would you like to mount it in your car?

cup holder would be great!

Personally, I'd like to see something akin to the DLO Transpod for the 3Gs. I like the idea of combining the cigarette lighter adapter, mount and FM transmitter all in one package. Otherwise, evne if it was just a mount, being able to put it in the cigarette lighter hole would be awesome. I don't want to have to stick or screw anything to my dash, and the cupholders are too low.

Yeah, I saw the ad in my latest issue of Macworld...I got excited, then I realized that both models on the website are for 2Gs. :(

Does the DLO transpod extend the iPod up on a bendable stalk? I'd like the iPod up on a stalk at about shoulder level so it's easy to control while driving. The stalk should bendable like a gooseneck so it can be pushed out of the way and easily positioned for the driver or passenger's seat.

Plugging into the lighter outlet is what I'd like to see--I prefer keeping my cupholders too. The base near the outlet should have a line out--personally I don't like the FM transmitter thing although as long as I have a line out the FM is fine.

A clip attachment to allow the Exo to easily be attached to a car airvent would work for me. Most airvents are similar in design and a relatively simple mechanism shoudl give compatability with most cars.

This doesn't solve how to get the music from the ipod to the stereo itself though. A line out connection would have to come from the bottom of the ipod, is there a hole in the Iskin? I can't remember and haven't got mine with me. Will the Itrip if and when it is every released fit over and exo?

how about a car stereo unit with an ipod dock built into the front of it? a little shelf could slide in and out of the face and the pod could dock on it, charge, and get a digital signal to the stereo. as long as it fits the iskin.....

i like the idea of a stalk that plugs into the lighter outlet. Sort of like those flashlight type deals where you can bend it any way you want, and yet it supports the ipod well. it should be like 2 feet long. yes, yes... fm transmitter too.... also... it should charge the ipod, not just power it. wow it'd be a super product

There are quite a few cell phone holders on the market now that hook inot th event so using a similar existing design should make it simple. I wold also recommend two other veriations. One, the windshield suction cup mount. The other wouldl be a mount for the flower vase on the New Beetle. I don't own one (wife does) and it wold be far better that the cupholder one that baelkin has introduced with the ipod deal with VW.

what happens when the suction cup loses its...suction
bam ipod-dashboard contact... not too good

2 feet would bring it up to shoulder height, i may have been overdoing it, but you know what i mean... i nice long stalk that you can bend any which way

With a flexible stalk design, you could have a short (~8 inches) and long (~18-20 inches) version. The end that plugged into the lighter would be high quality molded plastic or formed metal with a line-out jack. A white (or satin anodized silver) metal flexible gooseneck would extend out from the plug and terminate in a white plastic cradle for the iPod. The cradle should be minimal--just enough to securely hold the iPod.

The iStalk :-) would supply power and route the line out from the bottom jack to the base of the plug. For people that want wireless FM, the cradle would not interfere with using a top-mounted iTrip (no need to reinvent the wheel).
