IPOD dock for Smart

I was wondering if anyone has some suggestions for integrating a IPOD touch dock into a Smart? I would like to hardwire it to make a cleaner install without visible cables.

Oldbike, Go to Radio Shack,they sell a double ended cord for ipods. plug it into the connector in the left side of the glovebox,run it out of the bottom LEFT corner of the glovebox. Plug it into your ipod set your ipod up along the RIGHT side of the dash. My ipod is partilly covering the #6 radio select button,(I have the older square type), I put a small square of velcro on the dash and on the back of the ippd. If you bend the wire 90 degrees straight up and put the velcro on the top rear of the ipod you should only have about 2" of plug and wire showing . The ipod will look like it si balancing/perched on the wire. Best part is, the connector only costs $6.99. After you have the wire bent and the ipod mounted you can gently push the wire exiting the bottom corner of the glovebox down between fabric of the dash. That will hold the wire in position. Slowly and gently close the door of the glovebox,that will mash the wire slightly between the glovebox door and frame. This wire only connects the ipod through the car's radio to the speakers. It does NOT CHARGE the ipod. I purchased the 120 volt wall charger for the ipod. You also use the ipods touch controls to play /change songs. I like the shuffle feature so I don't have to mess with it while driving. Hope this helps. Cheers, SmartChip

I does also fit an ipod touch, and the cable in the bottom does provide charge, and aux to the radio.
