1. Does anyone else find the "trunk side storage net" to be completely useless? The way the hooks are arranged, there is barely any room behind the net to fit any items. I wish the hooks shown in the left side of this picture were also on the other side of the car so I could put a large net (from my old Civic) all the way across.



2. Has anyone come up with a good location to mount an iPod in the coupe? I don't care about controlling it through the stereo or steering wheel controls. The best thing I can think of is in the storage compartment under the temperature controls, just need to find the right mount kit. Only downside to that is it's not an easy spot to look at while driving, and you have to keep the compartment open to control it. I can't find any other good spots to put it.

3. Anyone else have a backwards Nissan stamp on their passenger side front window? I guess I got 2 driver's side windows.

Regarding question #2 - I've put my ipod on a dock connected to the cigarette adapter in the storage compartment, and it's not too bad there. It's a little bit lower than I'd like, but I'm pretty much used to it now.

I'll try to take another, more recent pic, with my new 3G Nano, which I got in red, just to match my coupe

Topic #1: Trunk side storage net.

I use mine to hold bottles of detailing spray, window cleaner, a pouch of microfiber towels, and a mag light flashlight... other than that...there's not much more that'll fit in that little cubby hole...

it should be there, open up that lower storage compartment, it's near the back of the compartment, but it's definitely there.

Here's the pic of my new red nano 3G:

Hey Hangtime, where did you buy that FlexibleDock? I want to get one and went to their website but neither of their 'Buynow' links even works! It seems like the perfect fit too. Any suggestions?

seraph...you know what, my brother actually got it as a gift for me last year...I think he said that he got it from the apple store online, but I'll have to double check with him and get back to you. But yeah, it really fits well for the car...

How do you get the temperature knob readout to be in Celsius instead of Fahrenheit?

I have no idea if it's possible to change it...I'm guessing it's the factory default for all cars delivered to Canada.

yeah, I asked my brother, and he got it from the Apple website...but I don't see it on there anymore. good luck finding it, maybe you can find it on ebay?
