S30rb25 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I've been thinking about molding the center console with fiberglass and making a spot to mount/ install a iPad as the stereo. Has anyone seen this or tried it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calpoly-z Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I saw an article somewhere where someone had built a mount into the dash of their pickup (i think it was a late model dodge Ram.) and mounted a Nexus 7 (a 7"android tablet) as the main stereo interface. It was very cool and a 7" size might be a bit more manageable to fit in place. Definitely something I will keep in mind for the future. I have yet to see someone do this in a Z though.

2blue280 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I haven't seen an iPad either but I did make a custom wood insert that allows my iPod touch to sit flush in the console. I am still running a separate sound system and just using the iPod for song selection on the aux input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S30rb25 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Do you have any pictures of you iPod mount that you made, I was thinking bout putting the iPad at angle so it mounts flush, it'd possibly eliminate heater controls though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5thgenluder Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 We do it at my work all the time. I'll try and find some pics. Scosche makes a dash kit specific to the iPad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2blue280 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I don't have any pics right now. I'll post some when I'm home this weekend. I made the "pocket" the iPod sits in just behind the shifter hole in the console. Obviously this location wouldn't work for an iPad but it works well with an iPod or iPhone.
