Harman/Kardon Ipod controller

I just installed Harman/Kardon's Drive+Play controller and display for the iPod. Very pleased with the results. I can hit the track skip button with my fingertip withoiut even taking my hands off the wheel, and the high mounted display makes changing songs while driving much safer (can still see the road)

That looks pretty good. First time I have actually seen one installed in a car. A few questions though. First, I am assuming you have the PIE adapter? Secondly, how does each piece mount to the console? Looks like the LCD screen is just hooked into the power point, and the other is held on by adhesive tape? If you can shed some light on this, I would appreciate it. Again, it looks good.

Yes, I have the PIE adapter, but the unit also includes an FM modulator if circumstances require one to go that route

The screen display is attached to the power plug location with a ring of 3M foam tape. It's very light and the tape is more than strong enough. The wire is run up behind the unit under the silver dash trim, then down through the center stack and console.

The control module is attached to the stack side panel with a couple screws and the wire run through a drilled hole (I wanted all the wires invisible, and replacing the side panel would be easy enough if I ever wanted to return the interior to stock.

Very cool! Thanks for the info. I may have to look into this, when I eventually get my car to have a digital in-plug.

Good looking out Chad. I thought I was seeing things when I saw that one picture. What key are you using?
