New iPad mini as a head unit.. what you think?

like what Mighty car mods did, except removable..

[Sunkist]

Why though? Because its an apple? Or the whole idea itself

It arrived, but isn't what it was supposed to be in the sense that it doesn't fit.

The ad said fits 'most' Hondas, but then says 'I use it on my CBR 600RR', which is what I have, yet it's the wrong connection altogether.

They'll refund it no worries, but the item was like $8 (bought 2 so $16), then paid $30 something for express postage.. so they'll only refund me what I paid for the item, and probably want me to pay for the return postage as well, which means it won't be worth it at all.

Was wondering if a paypal dispute or whatever it's called will get me my $50 back

to me sounds like an awesome idea.

you can use it for maps / banking / music / etc etc while on the go

might look a bit strange but idea behind it is pro imo.

[Sunkist]

well yeh, i can get an RCA splitter and wire it into an amp - speakers, can get EQ apps all the lap timing apps OBD reader from it too so it seems like the perfect Idea..all my music, movies everything can be accessed, and i can take it out of the car as I please..

plus the radio in there doesnt have a radio for aus, doesnt play mp3, let alone have a USB.. and the mini fits near perfect for the two din.. 7.9"

sounds like you found an actual use for an iPad.

Not because its apple (I own a ipad / iphone myself) I dunno I just didn't really like the idea itself at first.. just seems a bit ricey when you can buy good headunits already but when you think about it could work well

Plus it would need to be a very clean install to pull it off, I didn't think of the GPS / laptime capability though so yeah might be good.. just make sure it's installed legit and not like this:

hmm, I think I've had postage refunded - but yeah, they usually make you pay return postage

[CrispyFries]

Well fek, got all geared up for a ride and the bike won't start - all sweaty for nothing.

Time to find a battery charger I think

[Miguelone]

Yeah a PayPal dispute usually gets you a full refund. You and a seller both get a chance to plead your case and then PayPal make their decision based on the evidence. It could go either way but generally they'll side with the buyer

might call him and see if he has a mold, he's interstate unfortunately..

the android tablets look shit. IMO anyway.

lol yeh i dont want to mount it inside the dash, i want to be able to remove it when Im at home or leaving the car parked for long times..

basically sits perfectly directly in front, which means I wont have to cut the dash, and IF i do decide to put a head unit back in, i stil have a dash.

sounds like you found an actual use for an iPad.
