Anyways back to what you can actually do to integrate the ipad into the car.
1) How wide is the center console in the Z? Is there any point where the width of the plastic is a little more than 9.56" and stays consistent for about 7.47 inches.
If the space is there how would you go about finding someone to make holder to fit the ipad with a dock connector similar to fish mans setup so you can remove it?
The space would probably need to be ventilated to some extent for cooling.
It would be awesome if a company like metra did this..
2) The dock connector would need to charge and provide audio output. The charging may be more difficult to find now since the iPad charger is 10watt vs ipod/phones 5v. With a typical head unit you have separate channel pre-amp outputs. You can run the RCA out to a pre-amp equalizer and that would do the hi/low pass. However I would rather run it through a pre-amp that did not have a eq because you can do a lot of those adjustments on the amplifier right?
I think that is all you would need. What else would you recommend? Some guys talked about onkyo's dock that provides fiber out. However I have not tested it but Im pretty sure the ipad only supports stereo out.
Anyways...
Ima search for some products and let you guys know what I come up with...
Anyone know of anyone that is good with making dash kits?
