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).

I read this whole thread and I must ask what exactly do you use the iPad for? Is it navigation and music? I'm not seeing the practical use here. Would a good quality double din unit not be the same thing and better sound? Seems like a distraction more than anything.

Yes it is mostly used only for music and navigation. The reason I have it is simply because not a lot of people have it and it is somewhat unique. For me it wasnt a cost issue or anything like that for not going with a double din instead. And personally I don't think the iPad is too big for the Z. If you actually sit in the car with it installed you'll see it's perfect size. As for being a distraction, you can always dim the light on it. Too be honest I barely even touch it. Just to change the music, even then I have controls where my seat temp controls were to change the song if need be.

I like it. I think it would have looked better if it were flush (dunno if it's possible). But I like it.

I'm not butt hurt, I just think its funny that everytime someone posts a cool ipad in car idea, which obviously took some level of ingenuity and time, you are so quick to stomp it and be negative about it. You can post your opinion without being a complete negative Nancy. All I was saying. Notice how big and phelan posted their opposite opinions with reasons as to why they felt that way. Not just "oh its crap stop doing it!"

So as long I state a reason why I don't like this ipad in a car idea its ok right? How about its way too big, its an eyesore, probably dangerous to use during normal driving, and it literally looks like someone stuck it on the top cubby hole door with double sided tape. There's no thought into doing something like that.. I can tape a tablet PC to my dash too, but I choose not to because its retarded.. Its not innovative.. Its got FAIL written all over it.

Until someone actually custom molds something that into a dashboard, and actually makes it look good.. My OPINION on this will remain the same.

Funny how you also have an Ipad in your Z and you are the only one firing up about negative comments.. I-fanboy much?

That's fine I'm not saying don't have an opinion about it. Even though your opinion is heavily subjective.

There is no thought in doing this? Thats funny cuz I distinctively remember putting plenty of thought into my install, as im sure the op and other diy's have. If its not innovative then why are reputable companies like metra and schosche looking into possible iPad mounts for vehicles? I am not a fanboy, however I do enjoy my iPad plenty. I appreciate your opinion, I'm just saying give the guys who take time out of their day for the community the credit they deserve.
