That sucks. I guess if the BT compression is that high it'll make ALAC over BT pointless.

Because the way ipads are made, the digitizer and lcd are two separate pieces unlike lets say iphone 5, so i glued the digitizer to lcd with OCA to make it more durable and make lcd brighter on sunlight. Then i stripped the ipad all apart leaving unnecessary parts behind, like the metal housing just takes up space, power button no need for that, speakers didnt install those. While screen is vertical, i placed motherboard horizontally to make space readings more correct. I still have to run face camera behind the steering wheel, and rear camera to the rearview mirror, so i can record stuff while driving. Then almost done with running home button to the accessory key by cup holder.

I watched a YouTube video of a guy taking one apart. But all of what you did is way over my head. Great job don't think I would have the courage to do it myself though haha

How about a pic where you can actually see what your dash looks like? It's all blacked out without any light!

Not bad- post some more pics with at least the interior light on. Let's see the enclosure.

Did a new enclosure looks way more cleaner than the first one, but again just finished it up but its already dark out. Thats the most i could get with interior lights

Oh and also the headunit is giving me problems since it does not provide enough power to charge the ipad, and doesnt have bluetooth in it or aux lol so i have to buy a new one now or if someone wants to trade its Appradio 2.
