iPad Installation [pics]

The term 'butthurt' is hilarious and I've never heard it before but thass all besides the point.

I think it's cool and I disagree with the notion that it looks like it was slapped up there or that it's too big for the space. I'm sure you'll be mindful of the road cause, well you're an adult and its the responsible thing to do, so I don't get that jab coming your way either. As far as smash and grab, effed up people take things that don't belong to them, unfortunately thass the world we live in, I'm sure you were cognizant of that fact also so I don't understand the comments regarding the possibility of theft. Think I've seen people's Z's on cinder blocks on this forum for stock rims so, um, yea, thanks for pointing out the obvious fellas.

Anyway, I think there is a classy way to say you don't like something and then there is the other way.......

Hope you enjoy your mod man, thanks for posting.

Ah thanks for the feedback guys. I know some of you think silly and looks "crap" but I love it That matters I guess. I think the guy did an excellent job with the dashboard and I'm a happy customer.

The iPad is portable, I don't intend to leave it inside the car especially during this crazy hot summer season. Beside the obvious reason that is to prevent getting smashed and robbed, iPad doesn't operate in a high temperature. So it needs to be stored in a cool temperature.

As far as the delivery of the feedback, being honest is always greatly appreciated.. being disagree it's perfectly normal. That's what this forum is all about. I only wish that when people disagree, they could express it in a constructive manner. However I understand some people can be a straight to the point type of guy. Which is fine.

To answer Liquid_G:
I guess you have to see it in person, since I don't understand your comment regarding the double sided tape, because it is flushed in to the dashboard (the chubby box was removed by the way).

kenchan

wait, you paid someone to slap on your ipad to the dash with velcro? dang...

kenchan

yah really...it's not like we forced someone to post a clipboard on their dash and call it a install. you're excited about your install that's great. but if you're going to post something to the international community, be ready to get comments good and bad.

LOL

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

jacknismo

is that setup going to get you more chics?

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.

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.
