Who needs sat nav? I grew up in Perth, I know where I'm going!

Ummm I use it constantly. Mostly for work as I'm a sales manager.

I must say though I chose not to get the factory unit as you lose the USB/iPhone integration.

Didnt you buy one Kym?

@Jamie is the USB stock? I don't remember seeing it on mine... Got me curious now and I can't check because I am on my honeymoon! Man I miss my car

I have the same in my car as Jamie. I bought a cig charger and av cable and connect my iPhone to it. I would be interested in knowing if I could connect a USB connection as you can get from eBay, along with the arm rest extension.

No, I got one of those 12v to USB adapters, about $15 from car store, or $5 from eBay if you can be bothered waiting

Honeymoon eh? I'd have taken the car and left the wife at home

Edit - Here's my setup:

Jamie, where did you get the phone holder from? And how secure is it? I hate the flimsy crap ones that exist.

Your console setup is different to mine. Will post up the standard WRX one

Edit: Attachment added. 12v which is hooked up to a 240v inverter, USB which has iPhone charger (don't use this to play music, only to charge - streams music via Bluetooth, but you can play music via the USB too) and AUX in

Looks like a Ram mount - http://www.ram-mount.com.au/ - This is the reseller Australian site. Awesome mounts, I use them for Ike camera/gps.

Yep, that's the one Drewski.

I have the same one on the bike too, and even when I fell off the bike a few months ago, the phone stayed in the cradle, so suffice to say, they're very sturdy!

I made the part that goes in behind the stereo facia though. That's just a pice of galv plate, cut and bent to shape, then a couple holes with some small self tappers into the side of the return behind the facia - then carbon wrap FTW Cradle doesn't move a jot and I can put the phone in and out one handed (without having to brace the cradle with my other hand).
