I did not have a charging dock per se in my F150, but picked up this nifty little Griffin dual usb charger from Walmart for about $15. Of course, it uses the standard iPhone/iPod cable that came with your phone/device.
Perhaps you are looking for something that will plug into your radio aux port so you can play music too?

no...its already connected to an Ipod connecter to my HU...i want to have it where i can sit it in something and it stands up instead of laying down in tray...i think it was on the other site where someone did that...

x2. My Ipod charges through the connector to my H/U
As far as it standing up, I used to have a cupholder thing that was made by Belkin.

yes my receiver charges it when its plugged up...i solved my own problem by finding the right mp3 holder...suppose to attach to vent but i double taped it to right underneath the vent
So you were looking for a method to mount it so it is not just "dangling" by the wire?.. I could use one of those.

Nope not me! I am still using CD's thats why I replaced the factory changer with a Pioneer that way my HU will control it
that and the factory changer never worked when I bought the truck!I like I pods don't get me wrong, I just hate their f**ing software
all of my music is thru media player and itunes causes nothing but problems when trying to run both!

yes...this is what i'm looking for...how did you do it? do you have a right up?
I use this:
I rarely use the FM transmitter anymore, but it's still handy as a charger/holder. I use a cable going to the headphone output or through Bluetooth. It plugs into the accessory port in the console/dash and is easily within reach.

I was talking to the guy who's going to be installing my Pioneer HU next week. I wanted something where I could eliminate the cable between the HU and the Iphone and still play music. He said he could run the wire behind the head unit and drill through that little storage area and have an Iphone mount placed on the side with the output wire just sticking up through the plastic so when it was plugged in you don't see it, thus basically eliminating the need to have a black wire hanging from the HU input. We didn't get into prices but I figure if it's not too much I'll have him do it when he installs the HU.
hmm, that works too, and in fact sounds simpler (and cheaper) than what i was gunna' do.
