Tablet on the dash ! - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Can someone verify the radio trim cut-out dimensions? My car is still in Miami, and I'm thinking of fabbing a tablet mount.

What material did you use for building the mount? Definitely like the look. Great job!

Yours looks neat. Mind of sharing some pictures about the mount?

The mount was simple. It was a case with a reverse flap. I cut the flap, and tucked it under the radio bezel. I also put some rubber feet on back of case so the hazards didn't come on. It worked out well for a few hours, but aesthetically I thought it was 'meh' - so it has been since removed and am thinking of another solution.

Get ready..

Is it rumored that the iPad Mini will have 3G/4G communication chipset in it? Adding the phone/data connection will increase the price point that the Mini was aiming for. I thought the Mini is going to be a Wifi-only device like Nexus 7.

Using iPhone+wifi hotspot with iPad is probably an easier option, and then...

Many iDevices (iPhone/iPad) do not support cheap Bluetooth OBDII adapter because on the iDevice the Bluetooth level (2.0) was not compatible. For iDevices, they typically use Wifi connection but I do not have personal experience of how good/bad they are, and the adapter/software for iDevices are quite expensive.

Savant did this with a Lexus IS300. They integrated the HVAC controls and other vehicle functions into the iPad as well. Not a cheap thing to do, as they charge a minimum of $15,000 for a project like this! Very neat idea, though:

Here my own built creation for Galaxy Tabs 8.4.
No sticky tape, velcro or glue: everything just clicks in.
Tablet slides to show the original head unit and/or detouches to be hidden in the glove box.
Holder shows ecologic leather and aluminum and can detouch to leave clean and unmarked dash.
