Step 4: Drill 3 Holes
we need 3 holes on the box back
one for audio
the other side 2 holes for usb
Inside the box, I use one usb female jack and soldering with the 2 usb hole.
the audio jack hole just soldering with the 3.5mm audio wire which we put in the ipod stand (the second step)
When done, Insert the orignal Apple USB to PC into the USB female jack, and close the box

Step 5: Put Your IPod on the Dock
Ok, Put the iPod on this Dock.
If you only want to charging the iPod with a 5v Adaptor, link to the hole for power supply (like second pic)
Or you want sync with PC, use the line we made at 3rd step, link to PC, of course you can also charge iPod with PC. (like third pic)
