Meulen's 40th journal

Meulen

So I got a little ambitious today. Ordered an Elm OBD2 wi-fi reader. Then purchase the Dashcommand app from iTunes Store.

I then searched for ways mount my iPad min on the dash. I have wireless on my iPad already so as an added bonus I also got navigation.

So I found someone on the board that took the cubby door off and mounted it with strong magnets. I didn't want to compromise my 40ths interrior and noticed that if I took the door off I'd have to do some cutting to the door to put magnets on that and use it to cover the cubby when not using the iPad. I didn't want to do that. So I figured out a way to mount the magnets that the iPad just stays there with the cubby door open.

So I took the dash apart and epoxy'd the magnets in the back of the cubby. Then placed the iPad where I wanted it and mounted magnets on that.

Let me tell you. This thing is not going anywhere. I took it to an industrial park and did some 0-60 launches and it stayed in place flawlessly.

I was pretty proud of myself for this. It really adds a lot of functionality to the car and really makes the dash look high tech

Oh....sorry I missed cars and coffee again guys but this was the only time I had to work on it. 😎







I took a bunch of pictures so if anyone sees this and thinks there's some interest in a DIY LMK and I can make that happen.
