The tablet is an HTC flyer. The app is indeed Torque.

I got the item to stay in place by screwing a small block into the bottom of the cubby which I then used 3M DuraLock to connect to the tablet. It's ugly but it works.

I still need to move it though so that I can get the tablet more flush.

Wow, is anything like this available to buy for the Z?

Not really. Most are one-off DIY projects. There is good info on the forum if you search. CarbonSignal made a product that fit like the OEM Nav, but I think they abandoned it after only a few sales due to lack of interest - you can search for those details as well.

Just do a search on Ipad Mini Install and you'll see a dozen or more threads on this, but to answer your question, No there's nothing available to buy out the box for this. Most of us came up with a design on our own or just paid a shop to custom make one.

Heres Mine.

I'm working on something. Just need to finalize everything with AK370Z before I put mine up for sale.

Check out the thread here:

Oh sick if this coming out soon, I will wait for this rather than going and spending $700 on 3 new gauges.

Fifieldfabrications.com has an iPad mount you can customize for dash installs. Still takes a diy job to make it work but it's a big help to make a clean professional install.

- remove the upper cubby hole assembly that consists of basically this:

obviously yours will still have the door

when you look at the back of it, you'll see some screws, four or six or so, that attach the AC vents and the cubby itself (it's kind of a separate piece) to the rest of the assembly. remove the screws. next, remove the AC vents, they just kinda wiggle loose.

once you've done that, you can pull the whole cubby, including the door, off of that assembly. there might be a few more screws, but it's not exactly rocket science. it's very, very obvious where they are and what parts they anchor.

here's a pic of the door front/rear that I just took to try to illustrate the hinge assembly for the door (i removed the leather cover, its a separate piece also)

front:

rear:

all there are is a couple of metal pins and some springs that form the anchor for the hinge. all you do is pop out the pins (the springs have a tendency to fly across the room so be sure to cover them or something if you dont want to go searching for them) and then the door can be "pulled" out of the front of the cubby... it basically will just fall out.

remember that you will have two bigass holes in the front of the cubby from where those massive door arms go up into the assembly. i covered it all with di-noc just to make it a little less terrible looking, although, with my di-noc skills, whether it's truly an improvement is anyone's guess. you can see those holes in the pic above, here's them covered- posted this pic earlier in the week in a thread talking about a cubby tablet :

let me know if you have any other questions and i'll try to answer them.

what did you use to hold the tablet?
