not sure if this has been posted i was browsing youtube and came across a good video not sure if this guy is a member here

 

So basically he found a perfect sized case to wedge it into the space. That works.

 

lol basically and bought a aftermarket bluetooth adapter

 

He can only stream music over BT, he cannot surf the Internet or use pandora t etc. You would need to tether over wifi instead.

I installed a full size ipad behind my shifter using a wall mount from ijoy...something or other. After some research for the ipad I have this was my best route.

 

He drilled a screw into his dash to keep the iPad in place.

Boslax couldn't you get the 4G capable iPad and browse the net?

 

Post up a picture of yours mounted

 

I've had the iPad for 2 yrs or so and it's only capable of wifi, not 4g otherwise I wouldn't have to tether.

I did end up drilling into my shroud after realizing the double sided 3M automotive tape wasn't strong enough. I was worries about drilling and it wasn't bad at all. Honestly I prefer to have a small bracket to slide the iPad into over an arm extending out like Proclip or Padholdr provides.

I have a pic up in my profile under photos. I can take some more later today and post them tonite.

Here's the link to what I purchased - http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00769...sr=8-5&pi=SL75

I painted it black to match better, seems to only come in white.

 

All right... Who can provide the brand of the case... And do we have any suggestions on drilling the dash... Maybe some other alternatives....
This is a great idea...
Some cons that are not a big deal:
No charging (not a big deal)
My pioneer unit has difficulties pairing. It will only pair to phone or to the tablet.
I can set one for phone and a second device for media, but it has to be done manually.
Tethering is difficult, would have to go with the 4g. Has anyone been able to mirror their phone to the tablet?

 

It looks like a Padholdr clip to me, not sure though there are soo many options out there. Plus his is a mini.

The strongest adhesive found was the 3M automotive and promoter. The heat in the car loosened that up so to secure it better drilling was the best option. All you see on my dash now is a small mount the size of a large matchbook. All the mounts researched required some sort of drilling of some kind.

Using BT for iOS devices is very limited due to protocol restrictions, you can easily JB ur device to bypass that. I go back and forth between 2 Wifi connections. At the end of the day you also still need to plug into the AUX port and hiding that wire behind the iPad IMO makes it a more flush and cleaner look.

 

Would you mind posting a few pictures of what you've been able to do? Thanks!

 

Here is another option http://vimeo.com/m/11371807

 

The case is a Griffin Survivor Case for the iPad Mini btw

 

i wanna try this with my nexus 7 .. hopefully i can find a case similar

 

For sure....ill post the pics tonite.

 

I dont advise installing it hanging out of the dash like that. Even a baby can ****** that out. Im saying its too stealable.

 

I would believe that the owner of this Maxima would take the iPad with him everywhere he goes and then just pops it in when he drives.

 

Lol yes thats the main objective of this type of mount. Also its an ipad, there's constant updating - music/movies/apps/etc. on top of bringing it everywhere else to use.

Someone asked about posting pics....Check out my garage to see the pics of how its setup. I dont know how to link to pics so I just upload stuff there...

 

any one has done the same with a nexus 7??? request you to post pics...
