DVD Drive iPod Dock

Step 5Finish

Finish
Now your dock is ready to be used. Insert it in your open DVD drive and thread the cable through the hole and plug it into the USB port on your case.

Enjoy your new easy-to-make DVD drive iPod dock. Just make sure that you don’t shut the drive while the dock is still in there or snap off the disc tray accidentally. I don't accept responsibility for snapped or ruined DVD drives

Understandably people will be worried that their drive tray will get snapped off. Just to test it out, I applied quite a bit of force to my DVD drive tray (the same one as pictured) and I couldn't get the tray to snap off. I put a roughly 4kg brick on it and it still didn't snap off. Seems pretty tough
