So, Quick update

I'm printing of the first pre production run today so it will be fitted/trialed and tweaked if necessary.

I have a new ashtray coming today from VW Heritage to fit it to so I'll put some pictures up of the final thing by the weekend then

Ive added couple of screen shots to shown some design work on it earlier this week just for interest!(it in a half finished state!)

be good to still get you feed back!

Impressive!

very good, I will be interested in this.

Defo interested! Looks ace! BTW would an iPhone 6 Plus fit?

the iPhone 6 plus is 77.8mm wide so it would not fit thro' the top of the ashtray! as thats only 70mm.

but I could make the dock accept the iPhone 6 plus by making the recess a little wider if people wanted to leave the top off the ashtray!
probably wont look as nice but I could make these on demand if needed.

Daft question if I may...

Once the phone's in the dock, can you see enough of the screen to control the music player for example? Change tracks etc. or are you presuming a compatible head unit would be used for adjusting volume, tracks etc

Hi Nige,

Yes because you can use the previous/next track selection that sits at the top of the screen when you press the on off button!

Some photo's of the finished item should be uploaded tomorrow

Thanks

I would like one to fit an iPhone 6 standard please

ok, quick update on progress!

I have had to modify the design a bit as the the reproduction ashtray from VW Heritage seems to have a slighty different hinge pivot point making the lid hit the dock . I have now added a relief at the back of the dock to accomodate a good to clearance for this and other reproduction makes!

The new design is printing tonight as a final check, then should all be good to go.

Attached is a link to photos of the dock now with adjustable/removable Iphone support and I have also added a clearance hole for a 3.5mm jack socket for those who do not have bluetooth capabilty on the stereo.

I was going to sell the item as a bare unit so you would need to provide your own Iphone charge cable but I could maybe supply the lightning cable as well?

I'm aiming to have enough to take to Alive & V-Dubbin at Jimmys farm Sunday 14th June!

please take a look at the link below and again any comments welcome

Can you pop me down for an iPhone 6 one please boss

I'll pm you

Just putting this up for everyone who has been in touch for an Iphone dock.

I had another slight delay due to the fact I found there were so many variations of 3.5mm aux. cable jack socket outer diameters on the connector! So i have therefore decided it was far better for me to supply the dock with this 3.5mm aux. cable to ensure perferct fit and alignment. these have been ordered and due for delivery tomorrow.

I want to ensure that the product is the best it can be before release (sorry but thats just the way I am)

I will also have one complete dock with ashtray and leads (its rat look though or you can paint it) this is left over from all my trials of designing/fitting but is totally complet and correct ready to drop in the dash! I will put some pictures of this up.

Soooo close now, thanks for you patients!

Picture below show the parts now included in the kit!

well done mate, looking forward to getting this installed

Rather than use the headphone jack for audio could you just use one of these? Looks a great piece of kit.
