iPad forget it, but iPad mini is doable. I would have put it where the cubby/sat nav goes, but I want to retain my oem satnav for emergencies, you just never know. I'm anycase if I was to do that it would look daft keeping my stereo.
There's a few ways for connectivity, bluetooth, wifi, or as I'm doing direct digital. Doing the digital is more cash but I really want the best results. Also I love tech so it adds to the fun.
I'm hoping over the weekend to finish the adapter. Get on with the shaping around where the ipad will sit. Then ensure all visible panels are smooth and imperfection free. Prime and hopefully get the top coat applied.
I'm not very good at technically stuff but I do love my gadgets! Can not wait to see your final outcome! I was thinking about the ipad mini but the guy said he could do either, I wanted to put it above my normal stereo to get rid of that empty box thing on the dash which doesn't work properly on my car anyway. He said I could have waited a few more months for the correct connectors to come out. But I needed a descent stereo as the factory one was jumping a little. I may have it done in the future, but have a few other bits which are more important like p3 service first. good luck! And I do wish I had the faith in myself to do this, love to tinkering but have no idea what I'm doing! Haha
