I have a few more ideas, and I'll post them once I've finished the install.

There are no issues with the actual shifter hitting it. There is about 1-2 inches clearence with the shifter in 2-4-R. As for your arm hitting it... unless you hold the shifter really low or something you should be fine. Or if you have a short shifter that is stubby then you would hit it.
And the stability is fine. Because the nano is so light the aux cable and the dock are plenty to keep it in place.

I do have a short shifter, so that may be part of it.

I think I would have that damaged within about 30 seconds of driving. Not so much worried about damaging the mount but in an emergency manouver I could see snapping the internal connector off in the iPod.

The phono jacks in anything are notoriously weak where they connect to the board. It's likely that the solder joints would break especially if they are surface mount. Just a warning...

Rx7TII88 is using just a regular aux cable that plugs into the phono jack. The KCA-420i that we are using plugs into the multi-pin connector and charges the iPod too! The sound is perfect, and it is always charged. Great combo!
