Damn, looks really clean after you sprayed it. Good stuff.

 

This pic makes it look really clean!

I feel like you could come in the side of the A/C duct with a cord that way you didn't have to charge it every couple of days. Since your mold doesn't leave much room to slide around and you are using magnets on the back, you could probably easily place that cord in the right spot so that it pops in when you're taking it on and off.

 

Would would be really cool would be inductive charging, but the iPad doesn't support that :/

 

Well I was considering using a powermat for wireless charging but than the mold would have to be bigger. And Ssjoeboe, I was thinking of something like that but what if the charger fell inside of the hole I made..

 

Yeah you would have to be innovative to figure that one out lol

 

I think inductive would be the best but then he'd have to make space for the two coils. Dosen't really matter much though since he can just remove it and charge it every night.

 

Color of choice: brushed metallic

 

BTW, after i gutted a few of the radio pieces, i was able to fit it back into the same spot with no fitment problems to the new dash. To keep it nice and still, I filled in the remaining spaces with bubble wrap so it has no where to go.

 

Legit! Nice work!!!

 

Have you figured out where the stock radio is going to go? Extend wires to glove box?

 

Did you take off the disc changer and stuff? So it all fit behind nicely?

i think he fit it behind in the original spot.

 

As in take out ipad, see buttons behind? I need pictures.

 

No, as in just the mainboard. the buttons and disc changer can be disconnected. I think that's what he did, not sure. That's my plan as long as everything can fit behind nicely.

Yeah i'd like to see pics also if he has any. would help a lot with my install.

 

The test picture is pretty much what it looks like. The stereo fits behind the new dash once buttons are removed and no it's not visible at all. Huge problem though, if you hit mode, you can never get back into Bluetooth mode for some reason.

oh you were able to fit the entire thing back there? interesting..

Are you sure you can't get back into bluetooth? I have done it before i'm pretty sure.... you just press it several times. maybe not.. that is a HUGE issue though if that's the case..

 

That would have been cool if the radio buttons showed whenever the Ipad wasn't in place!

 

Ohh ok. I get it now. No more buttons.

I would probably get annoyed with having to remove and remember to take the ipad in the car with my everywhere. I am a fan of permanent things.

 

I am too but this way ipad wont overheat and i can still have the usb slot to charge my phone

 

The AC vent is right next to the ipad. Drill a hole in the vent to let a small amount of air escape onto the back of it. Duct tape over the hole if you want to close it off in the future since no one will be able to see it.

You can also just use the cigarette outlet to charge it while keeping the usb free. Tap the wires if you are good with wiring or completely undo the cig outlet and run a car charger behind the dash out of sight.

Problems solved!

 

It seems you weren't to understanding. Leaving the iPad in the car 24/7 will cause it to overheat from the the sun. I used to leave my iPod in the car until I got the high heat warning. Also I'm not doing a charging dash because the dash is not wide enough for me to incorporate it.

 

Florida heat is a bummer sometimes.

 

I guess if you have to park in the sun all day it makes things difficult

 

During Summer, I keep a sock in my car so I can shift! Literally takes 15min to cool down enough to use your bare hands.

I thought Texas got the same heat?!

Bao- Post the videos already!

 

We do. I just have a garage at home and work these days so I don't get the full effect.

 

Suuurreeee. Great excuse to tell the fiance.

 

Lmao I have no answer for that hahaha

 

Um there's a link to a video on the bottom of my last picture

 

It's okay, your secret is safe with me.

 

Found a neat way to use the sleep wake button today

 

lol that's pretty convenient.

 

cool, is that a newer ipad function?

 

I'm pretty sure pressing down on the bottom right corner is just causing the top left corner to lift a little, which is causing the sleep button to hit the trim :P

Looks awesome!

 

Yeah new ipad mini 6 feature. Got it from the future

 

I never really used the bluetooth connection to listen to audio before but man its quite disappointing. Sound is very low and it can hardly hear all the beats :/

 

I got an equalizer app on my phone and messing with the settings BT sounds way better now.

What do you usually use to listen to your music?

 

Android sounds a bit better over BT I've noticed. I have DSP Manager installed and it sounds great.

 

I listen to BT on mine, I've never really had any complaints... It always sounds better through the wire but you can't beat the convenience.

 

hmm maybe i could try to find an equalizer app and see if it sounds better. I used to use my charging USB to listen to music and it sounds amazing but BT is meh.

 

Bumping cause this guy at the gas station doesn't know my car!
