I'm super nervous to do it. Can you still plug it up to iTunes at all?

I honestly don't see the reason for jailbreaking an iPad at this point. Nice DIY though. I like it!

I just got the 32gb wifi, but wouldn't the ipad 3g be more useful? I'd love to use pandora, or slacker radio while driving. Do you have mifi or something to hook it up to the net?

The wifi model is a waste of money IMO. It doesn't have a gps chip. I use mywi through my jail broken iPhone. So it would be a waste of time putting it in the car for navigation. But if you have mywi or mifi and the wifi model you can use it for pandora and web browsing.

agreed.. And the cell phone clips to hold it on?

That thing is going thru the windshield if you have to jam on the brakes.

How is that actually useful?

Ya now if it was integrated into the dash that would be different.
Sorry OP just our opinion.

Actually no it doesn't move anywhere, it's locked in. The cell phone clips have a locking mechanism. All you have to do is push the buttons to release it. It's useful because I use it for navigation with navigon. Also there is a new Jailbroke app called Full Force that forces iPhone apps into ipad scalabilty. So I have the biggest factory navigation screen on the market. Plus it's a mobile office for returning email, browsing the web at lunch time and playing musing from my iPod all at the same time. Very useful if you ask me. Any other questions?

Don't worry about it mate, I've gotten plenty of positive remarks on the inventiveness and look of it to where your dislike doesn't really ruin it for me. Plus I actually enjoy it. Go figure. Thanks for stopping by though!

Ya no worries man. No need to apologize. I realize this is a public forum and there will be haters and supporters alike. I just put this up for people who will use it and to show that's it's possible in the z. if you don't like the look, you don't have to use it. To me it's useful and I actually like the big *** screen.

I just posted a couple of videos of how I mounted my iPad.

370zFORme!! · 05-27-2010, 12:57 PM

Good job man! I like it.

KillerBee370 · 05-27-2010, 06:28 PM
