iPad mini help...
 

Hey all,

I've been researching for hours and hours on doing an iPad mini install in my z.
After researching I can't find any of the information I need.. no one has done a complete DIY on this. Can someone give me links to everything I need for the install? Also does anyone know if I can display oil pressure on the iPad mini?

Thanks for your help..

iPad in the cubby or stereo slot? In the cubby I've seen a few people do it here and shouldn't be that hard, stereo replacement is a little more complex but can be done, I've done the whole tablet stereo replacement in my Sportage but ended up ditching it after the Nexus 7 I was using developed a faulty USB connector.

Yes that's what I want to do. I just need to know a few things like what wifi OBD2 sensor to use, what mounting bracket for the iPad to use, how to run the power for the tablet, how to wire the power cord to the car and how to display oil pressure on the tablet.

Most OBD2 wifi adapters should work fine, power is simple enough as a 12v to usb adapter to the ipad, Torque (available for ipad?) will show the oil pressure.

Unfortunately we don't have oil pressure available through OBD2. The factory oil pressure sensor is actually just a low pressure switch. To get oil pressure you will need to install a sensor and view with a gauge or some other method.

Dammit,, why would Nissan do this?? Hell the 350z even has an oil pressure gage...

You Know our 370's have a slinger oil system....The high RPM's keep it lubed!

Right on, I still need links to stuff like wire diagram for running the power wire and things like that.

It's not a instructional video but this shows WHAT he's done and he's fairly thorough.

Yes I've seen this video, the install is way to "ghetto" for me.. not clean at all.. I need to find a kit for the dash install and or fab a kit for the dash..

Thanks for the reply,

First off holly hell... $250?? And at that price you still have to use body filer and paint your dash to make it flush?? Is there not a kit that just plug and play??

Agreed. I think there is another similar company making a like product but can't thin of the name.

As to this one it's expensive, sure no argument there, but it's also the one that doesn't look hack. Guess you get what you pay for. Just like Gales pods are worth every dollar he charges and then some.

Yup..

I have a WIP of a clamshell design I'm making for my Samsung Tab S2 8" tablet.

It's a clamshell design with a couple screws, washers, and nuts:

If there is enough interest in this, I could modify this to fit the iPad mini 4. Then set-up a section in the marketplace for people to order.

NOTE: The reason it's still a WIP is because I need to figure out a mechanism to still utilize the power and volume buttons.

Someone finally gets it!! Kudos to you, Sir.

I've started a poll. Hopefully I went about it the right way (i guess the mods will let me know).

Anyone can go vote. I want to get a feel for this.

Dude this is exactly what I'm looking for!!!!!! I'm sending you a PM
