Ipad Mini In Car Entertainment

[supanoodle]

My Thoughts are....

Its about damn fkn time!!!

im so sick of the current ICE models atm with laggy ass screens and touchscreens that dont work properly or even some decent gui layouts.

The sizing is really close to normal double dinn standard .

Only a matter of time before adapters get made for mass markets.

Im keen to fit one in the GTT.

Thoughts?

The ipad 2 fits just fine in stock radio location with customization ( perm mount) you could make it slide out near drivers legs without drama , not graceful but doable, I have a spare dash and have tested it already

The mini would pop right in with minimal fuss

Dont have a mini or i would build one

The mini would fit in popup dash as well

I know doug and the other guys in the video , they will have generic ipad mini pans for sale and would send one down if anyone wants one?

ipad mini isnt on my radar since ipad fits in gtt and has a bigger screen ,

its not a big deal to mold one , just takes time and a mini to use?? it would fit older skylines ??

for those wondering the ipad fits in the factory radio hole behind the factory dash contour and butts up to the ac controls fine

Some shifter surround mods and remolding but in my case I cut out the ashtray and lighter and ripped apart and recast 3 gauges flush fit in the spot instead

In carbon lol

No need for smoking items

[Chris Rogers]

post a few images of yours troy.

yet to do a mini version myself.

[supanoodle]

tbh, i think having the original ipad would be a lil bit overkill n i'd prefer to keep the stock smokers try n kit just to keep it looking original n flush.

just my opinion , retina display would be madness tho =D

got any pics of ur finished product with the normal ipad mould?

[SMOKEYV35]

These guys did a mini within 2 hrs of release!

I dont have the ipad dash in my car its mocked up on the bench , i have thought about popping it in my car but my current setup rebuild plans would need tweeking , it would be a downgrade on some cases

I do have some mock up photos on my laptop i think showing the process to refinish the dash etc

lots of build log photos etc just havent had time to publish it

you could keep the ashtray etc just i'm a serious hater of smokers lol

Bought a smoke free car from japan which is a miracle to find lol

Sure chris I'll dig up some photos of fitment on the bench think the car test fit ones are still on the camera

The parts are all over ebay same ones as the phone uses ???

Those guys had it in 2 hrs not a big deal if you know what your doing its as fast as the resin dries speed wise? but i would prefer to think it out and make it perfect not a wart on the dash

I will get this if the mini has retina display, FM radio and external GPS antenna. that will be good all in one ICE.

At least Radio (not digital through 3G, it will chew up my data lol)
