ok i'll try to work with that...i was thinking i might be able to use one of those ashtrays that fit into the cup holder, and then i could make a mount somehow sticking up from it?

What I use. My Zune does not *mount* on it but it works for all my USB devices.

well.... that's not too hard. If you mix the ideas of runt and justananomaly... then you have the usb device that goes directly in the cup holder with a bit of paper wrapped around it and protruding in a way that it creates a snug pocket.

well, you can actually create stuff out of cardboard or paper cardboard is a better choice if you're using paper alternative, much more stronger. you just got to think how to make it look good
