Thank you for your kind words, and please do copy.

I am going to grind the tabs on the USB clip a bit, because right now they interfere somewhat with the iPod connector below it. I will also likely enlarge the hole at the back of the false floor a bit (cutting out a notch) to allow the USB connector to slide back a bit. Last, I'll invert the USB clip so that it fits more to the right in the picture. Those steps should give easier access to the iPod connector. Positioning of the USB clip is limited a bit by the need not to puncture the AUX/mode selector on the other side (I used the supplied screw, but will change that to a small nut & bolt).

I use my iPod in the car, mostly - and remove it primarily for updates to firmware and music, so a small bit of inteference from the USB clip isn't a problem. The iPod location requires no clip - the 4th Gen iPod fits perfectly without one, and the "active" clip sold as an option would be too big for this fitment.
