. Why is it that I cannot edit my first 3 posts? Thx.

Al, you can edit your posting for 15 minutes, changeing the ability to delete threads had the effect on the edit function

Al, I like the hinges-simple solution that I may copy when I redo my system this winter

Great stuff, Al. Looks like you are going to be in control and in style.

Schweeeeeeet! Very nice job Al.

The cord both charges the iPhone and carries the audio signal. This is a much cleaner signal than going thru the 3.5mm headphone jack on the iPhone.

Ok I'm curious about this plug/cord - looks like it splits off to a USB for charging and a mini plug for going into the aux - both on one one cord? I'm wanting to do the same with either my iPhone or an iPod nano and would like to skip the aux out and go the cleaner route. I still have to do aux-in on my deck but I like this setup for the helm - nice and clean, single cord.

Have you used this set-up with the engine running yet? I have a similar cord that I use to run video from my iPhone into the nav unit in my car - the issue I have is that when the car is running and I charge through USB I get terrible noise. The solution I found was to use the 110v charging block plugged into an inverter.

I like the looks of everything a lot, makes me think I might want to put my stereo volume knobs in the same spot - easier access than having them on the drivers right hand side where I initially planned to put them.

Wasn't there a member that had gotten 'blanks' of those panels, Hmmmmm, now I think I want one...

Same here.

Yep. The company contact information was on a sticker on the back of the panel on my boat. Realize that they are a manufacturing company that doesn't sell to individuals, but I found them to be very helpful and easy to work with. They needed me to order 5 at minimum and I had to get creative with creating a purchase order and how to pay them. It was worth it though.

Great setup, Al! Very clean.
