Car mount with integrated dock?

I've looked around and can't find a car mounting bracket that has an integrated dock for the 3G models.

Ideally, I want a fully hardwired setup with a Belkin charger mounted behind the dash. That would be connected to a female cig. lighter jack and the audio out to a wired fm modulator (http://store.autotoys.com/cgi-bin/wfp53024.storefront/403b69e401166a8027464200c1480646/Product/View/AUTOTOYSFMMODULATOR2AUTOON#image2) . Then the single cable would run to the mounting bracket.

I like the Proclip system (https://w3.easytrade.net/abm/index.dip?largecart=true) although I may go with a cheaper universal (cell phone) mount. Proclip has the 3G specific mount adapter (https://w3.easytrade.net/abm/index.dip?largecart=true) but it has a fully open bottom. What I want is the same type of thing, but with a dock permanently attached to the mount. Easy in, easy out. Without having to constantly fiddle with a plug

Anyone know of such a mount? If not, anyone made a custom one?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Note: I'm also considering using the Apple dock if I can figure out how to make it fit in the change holder in my 2002 Maxima. But right now, I don't think it will fit without major modifications to the dash - and I'd like to avoid that.

Thanks.

That looks like an interesting solution.

I spent a little time last night taking apart my center console and think I have figured out how to mount the dock in the change tray. I will have to do some cutting, but it should work well if things go as planned - and, the dock will be hidden in the change tray when not in use, so it should be a clean installation.

If I remember, I'll take and post some pictures.
