Another IPAD MINI install

JC-Nismo · 05-19-2015, 05:46 PM

What's the best RPM range to measure HP rating on Dashcommand? I would assume as same as a dyno in 4th @ around 4k-Redline I tried this with my Z today and I'm at 330hp with Test Pipes and K&N Filters. I know it's not accurate, but who cares, beats paying for it at a performance shop

Few pics of my setup

The factory bezel was trimmed on the sides right to the AC vent mounts and the top was trimmed around 3/8 inches. I also had to trim the lower radio bezel in order for the mount to sit deep enough. The next step is to fuse everything together, sand, bondo/filler, sand, prime and paint. The end product will be worth the extra time.

This picture is with everything sitting together. Nothing has been molded yet. It gives a very rough idea of the final product. I anticipate another 6-8 hours of labor to get it ready for paint. Being a perfectionist is time consuming.

Nothing will be exposed. The lightning cable will be permanently fixed in the mount. It does what you're looking for. When you put the iPad in, it automatically slides onto the connector. This is actually what hold the iPad in place on the left side of the mount.

Fly Safe!

Sorry to bring this back from the dead Aviator44 did you ever finish, any after pictures?

Thanks

Very nice set up. Did this require complete removal of the bin, or only removing the lid? I want to put an iPad Mini in place of the bin, but I'd like to be able to change back to stock down the road if possible.

My bad. Haven't checked this thread in awhile. Yeah I finished it up and have had it in my car for some time. I'll post pics tomorrow!

Here's a picture from when I was making it. This was after molding everything together and priming the bezel. I ended up rewrapping the bezel in leather.

Nice to see all the ipad installs! Now the ? I am getting a lot of.

1. Are the installs integrated and fully functional to the stock Nissan Bose premium radio without Navi?

2. Will the ipad charge while in the mount?

3. Can the ipad be removed and be put back in to prevent theft ?

4. Can this be done with the ipad mini 4.

5. Can I download videos/music from YouTube a play them back at a later time without having a wifi connection through the speakers.

6. Can I watch live TV. Yes, I have every cable channel/sports/PPV no monthly fee.

The answer is yes to all. I am the only one who has the YouTube download option. I wrote the program/code. None of the app store programs work anymore. I am the the only one with the app.

If anybody is interested or wants to see a demo P.M me

Does anyone know if there is apple software (like there is for android) to preset functions?
Ex- iPad senses power from head unit into usb, turns on, starts music, opens dash command. I'm plannin on going to the Apple Store within a few weeks to check. Really the only thing holding me back. I don't want to have to set up my music then dash command every time
I get in and out. But I want to use an ipad

Sorry for brining back an old tread, but how are you guys connecting the lighting cable to the stock head unit? I'm a noob when it comes to wiring.
