DIY: ipad mini magnetic install into cubby

I love that tablets took hold of the market, so much better than installing a 7" monitor like you would have had to do a few years back. Stupid question,

Stupid question, but does you guys have audio connectivity for the iPad? I just bought my 370 last night but it seems that the bluetooth is only for phone calls, right? I thought about an iPad mini install before I even saw this thread, but then the headphone port is on the top. I know some of the droid tablets (Asus?) had the charge port on the side, which would be the bottom of the cubby if you installed it sideways. Anybody have ideas of how to connect the audio cleanly?

If your Z is later than 2010 you should have the ability to play music from iPad through Bluetooth. Before that you'll need some adapters. Check the DIYs here for how tos on those.

Unless you have the NISMO The US models don't have bluetooth streaming. Unless there is some voodoo magic you did? If so share the love man!
Love the DIY and will probably follow it pretty soon. Nice job
