iPad Pro in 2005 Acura TL

Had to upgrade the sound system in my TL. Thought I could get away with upgrading the speakers and amp. I quickly learned that, as long as I'm running the stock head unit, the sound quality wouldn't get much better. So I started considering different stereo options. I finally decided to try something different. Some people are using iPad mini in their rides. Most are using them with a head unit also. I have an iPad Pro, so I decided I would go big with the iPad Pro, and use it as my head unit. Of course it took some custom work, but I got it done, and love it. Now when I get in my TL, I feel like I'm in a Tesla. Lol

Thanks. I tried inserting the pics into the post, but they were huge. So I did it as an attachment, which apparently didn't work well either. Lol. I'll try to figure something out.

Reviving an old thread, who made your trim bezel for the iPad? Was that done at an audio shop, did you make it? I just did a 10.2" iPad in mine, but need a better looking bezel for the iPad.
