Waiz

I made a custom mount for my Iphone but I have no idea where I would put the Ipad.

kenchan

This is seriously getting old. Am I supposed to giggle or something Kenchan?

Serious nowhere in your post did I ever read anything about velcro.

Great job OP!

Thanks buddy!

jacknismo

OP, I think that looks legit!

There is no such thing as TOO BIG. The bigger the better, and the easier to use while driving = safer. I plan on doing an iPad install this summer and it will likely look similar. I'm not sure I want to permanently alter the car's dash, but I want to make it look integrated. You should make a DYI of your install job.

It might have helped if you showed Navigon or CoPilot HD running on it (or how about RadarScope) instead.

I think I agree it would have been better if it could have been mounted lower and more inset in the dash (with the other device remove). Too bad it is so hard to write custom hardware code on it, but something like DashCommand would still be really cool.

Think about it - for the price of a HKS Camp II, Navigation unit, MP3 player, Internet radio unit you could easily get a 3G iPad and some apps to replace all of that.

what are those tiny little blue circles? Besides do we really need an ipad attached? I feel as though u can just put it on ur lap or something. Plus, is it even legal to be on an ipad while driving? lol.

Armhunter

sfearl1

What kind of apps are you using in the car? Some specialized music player? I would imagine it would be extremely hard to operate the standard music app.

Before I switched out my deck, i was using the adapter port with my Iphone. I always just used a playlist and set it on Random before driving.
I would think this would be convenient not really a problem. Pretty much the same thing as an Iphone just bigger.

Too me, there is not enough space in the car for me to want to use one. But he seems happy with it. If I could, I would use my ipad much more then my iphone, which I do, just cant in that car.. too small.

Very clean install by the way. When I went to have mine done they originally wanted to do a similar install, but I was looking for an even closer to factory look. I had them make a custom center dash piece to accomodate the ipad and the front and rear radar detector and laser jammers. I like what they originally did but it still needs a little work (which is why it is back with them). I sent it back to the shop to have the radar detector controls mounted flush instead of sticking out, and to also put a little slot in the top right hand corner to get your finger in there to pop it out instead of having to use a tool. Other than that everything works perfect and very happy with the install. Doesnt look out of place at all in the Z.

When I get my car back ill upload some up to date pictures. (This is just initial install and I had them rush as I was leaving for vacation with my car).
