DIY: ipad mini magnetic install into cubby

Meulen

thx! appreciate that!

Somebody PM'd me and asked me what I would do differently if I had to do it again. I thought I'd share the answer here:

I think I would do a little more research for apps and connections available to the ECU. I still don't know enough about it or even if I could use a bluetooth dongle with my ipad mini. I think I was lucky this was for fun more than anything. Had I been running or thinking about running FI and needed some thing the OEM ECU doesn't read and need more accuracy I would have found the appropriate tablet and OS for the job. Luckily, it's fine for what I'm doing with it!

Now that I've had time to think about it I'll add another thing. My magnets on the back of the ipad case skated around a little while using the epoxy. I think I would have been a little more careful about the excess epoxy and the magnets skating off. Then find a little plastic cover for them. I think raising them up a little like that may bring it up just enough to fit the charging cable on it when need be, and would cover up the excess epoxy on the back of the ipad case.
