IPAD MINI IN-DASH done right!!!!!!!!

[shortydoo313]

So I'm always about doing something different, but having a clean look. So after searching high and low I found a kit that will fit what i was looking for. I plan on using dash command, and Spotify for my Music player, plus the GPS screen will be much nicer. My center console is in the shop and will be completed Monday pics and vids will be up. Here is a teaser for now. Also the Website is http://www.soundmanca.com

I'm subscribed to soundman on youtube and they do a lot of ipad installs. I've been wanting to do the same for a while, but haven't gone through with it. They're actually about 30-45 minutes away from me. Here is a video of one of their installs. Sorry I don't know how to imbed it.

They did this in one of the magazine cars a month or two ago if you want to see finished pics. Looked pretty damn good

 

[Slightly Motivated]

yea i saw that issue, it was on a fox tho

heres the pics of that one, I'm just doing mine a tad different because the bezel is different for our cars with the traction control, fogs, and defroster. Moving those would be a pain. So I'm leaving my A/C controls at the top. Plus while my hand is on the shifter i can just extend a finger if i need to do anything.

Yup that's it. Looks like a pain.

I like something like this but it's much easier these days to purchase a decent head unit with HDMI/MHL mirroring. Plus I heard you won't get as good audio output as you do from an actual head unit.

I'm about to put a DNX771HD (7" screen) into my car once it gets here. Kenwood now uses their own mirror system that works pretty well and doesn't require the touch of God to get it to work. I had mirrorlink in my last car and it was horrible. Pioneer's AppRadio is horrible too... You have to root to do anything worth while. The Kenwood mirrors out of the box, no roots needed.

I will run it with a BT OBDII scanner. I love dash command over torque because you can use different console skins which give it a really cool look. I always like running the GT-R skins because it gives you like 7 pages of displays that look identical to the GT-R's system.

Well done though!

i was thinking about doing the same. But at the end of the day it just came down to wanting to do something unique. Our interiors don't bleed style, and to me this would just up the points in the style dept. Audio quality should be fine to me, for the fact that its my same setup that i always run thru my with my pioneer deck. just instead of my iPhone/Ipad sitting in my seat, its nice a snug in the dash. dash command is currently loaded in my iPad now and I'm prob going to add the SCT ITSX wifi tuner.

That looks pretty damn good.

 

[sonicblew]

Id love to do that. As little as i drive my car though it wouldn't make sense. Plus i don't go to many shows so it really wouldn't do much.

post pics when done, can't wait to see it!

 

[Hurrycanestang]

Sub'n for finished product!

 

[Jmccormick]

Can't wait to see this.

I have been wanting to do this for a while now.

Sub'd!

 

[MTBSully]

How do you power the speakers with this?

 

[spyder1337]

Looks like a decent setup. Fill me in on the app you will be using to monitor the cars settings similar to a Aeroforce?
