If you already have an ipod cable/cassette ipod cable then stop reading for this will be a waste of time and seven bucks.

For this Instructable you will need the following items:
1) Some small ipod/mp3 player speakers
2) An mp3 player/ipod 
3) A sharp pointy thing (everything form a pencil to a thick nail)
4) gorilla glue
5) a cup that you can penetrate with the sharp pointy object (it can range from a starbucks cup to a trader joe's yogurt container) make sure that the cup fits in your cup holder!

Put the speakers in the cup and push the speaker jack of the speakers through the hole that you made. Then, when the speaker jack is coming out as far as it can, glue the speakers to the cup with gorilla glue. Hold the speakers to the cup while the glue dries.

Congrats! You are done! Go to your car immediately and try it out! If you don't know what to do, take a look at the pics below for an idea. Your ipod should now be in an ergonomic position for your control. You will now never need to put your ipod in the cup holder alone again... Enjoy!
