[SLY6] - Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

i believe it was this gentleman who said his car was going to have an ipad in dash. until he realised he wouldn't be the only person who had it.

[Verynice]

yeah he was bitching hardcore.

[chocco]

Thanks, There was no happy snap's and I missed it in all the cat fighting. LOL

[MikesCalais]

That's the one I meant! I thought I did see pics of it... At least I'm only half imagining things.

Woahhh... The thought of playing angry birds in my car... O_o haha

There is a bracket for the US Equivilent (Pontiac G8) made by PADHOLDR.com but it looks as cheap and nasty as those silly brackets you use to stick a GPS or iPhone to your windscreen. I'd prefer something that replaces the centre speaker in the dash.

Thanks for posting this on your forum. It's my car.
I originally wanted to put in a car PC in but then figured that with an IPAD I don't have to worry about booting issues, and it would be easy to take the IPAD into the house and update music, software etc...
I wanted to install it over the original stereo to avoid issues with the AC controls, but since found that you can get electronic HVAC controls from the States. So I'm thinking of modifying it so it looks a lot more integrated into the dash.
The best Apps so far are, Navigon, Dashcommand and Beatpad (Sounds awesome through the subs when you hit the bass drums)
It's not as hard it looks, and I'm not usually this creative, just took it step by step and learnt how to work with fibreglass by watching Youtube video's.
