I don't know what's so hard about tethering to your phone for your 3g needs and using one data plan versus paying for two 3g devices. If your argument is battery life, ever heard of a car charger? Specifically for the 370z's case, there's two cigarette outlets you could use to charge your phone while tethering. I have a Samsung Epic 4g Touch and just tethering for the connection doesn't eat my battery terribly in the first place.
i know all about the cigarette outlets thats the thing i want to get away from them, friggin cords all over, id want to connect to the back of the radio some how with the ipad mini and have it charge off of that, if it cant be done that way then its not for me. i wont even plug my phone into the audio jack on the front because its one more cable id have to have in the car.

and i have both outlets being used now btw, im a salesperson and have one for my personal iphone and one for my windows work phone. to many cords already!!!

I believe there are cigarette lighter USB chargers that have two or more USB ports on them. Using the one in your center console would be the one you could use for your two phones. As for charging the tablet, you can probably charge it with a USB port from aftermarket head units. I know some of the newer ones have two USB ports. One in front and one in back. The one in the back could be your ticket for charging your tablet. You'd just have to route the charging cord through the cubby assembly to the rear of the head unit. That's what my plan is for my Nexus 7 install onto the surface of my cubby lid.

I hear what your saying, I guess my point for me anyhow is that i would want a seamless looking install with out the wires all over. unfortunately for me i think the stock radio can not do what i want it to do, and in my case a new head unit with nav and ipod integration would work best for me. now if the Ipad mini/ nexus 7 can some how integrate with the stock radio from behind then id be game to go that route
