I've got my iPhone mounted in a console bracket on that car right in front of the 12V port for charging if I want and I can just glance down an make station changes (at stop lights) or perform some functions with steering wheel controls or on the touch screen. Which reminds me, if I hook it up in the console using the harness, are there any steering wheel controls that work with it? BTW: I haven't noticed any extraordinary drain on the iPhone battery when streaming audio.
I don't open and close the console lid to fiddle with my iPhone. The usb cable is long enough that I can have the phone sitting up in front of the dct shifter, in the little basin and I can see it from the drivers seat.
