Is it possible to hard wire a standard iPhone lead into the centre armrest phone dock lead? It must be possible, anyone with superior car electronics knowledge got any idea?

would it not just be a case of piggy backing an ign controlled fuse supply, adding a further fuse, connecting to a 12v cigar lighter, plug in a 12v phone charger lead, and tuck it all away? and perhaps modify an iphone stand-up charger, or dedicated slide in car mount charger... -Or, if you get yourself a Bluetooth kit, you also get an iphone cable to run your phone. I have a parrot (Bluetooth). but I don't actually use the iphone lead,as I just auto connect Bluetooth-ly. and play my tunes Bluetooth through the stereo. at the expense of voice directions from satnav. though screen is pointing still . I hope to investigate this Bluetooth/iphone/satnav auto changeover circuit one day. is this what you had in mind?

I currently connect with Bluetooth and a std apple lead to the power out in the centre cubby box with a belkin USB output, I just thought if the standard phone mount could be hacked into it might give a neater solution and greater functionality?

Quite a few of my customers have Brodit holders in there...

I assume that through the phone dock is the only way to get the contacts up on the screen and to get text messages?

An updated Bluetooth module should give you contacts on the screen via the Bluetooth. I have a Brodit mount and just run a cable from the front cig lighter. There is a difference between knowing your sh!t and knowing you're sh!t
