anyone interested in making a ipad mount.and what they would want for one

[westy27]

One thing to note for people wanting the Fascia is heat control (IPAD getting to hot) there needs to be enough room between the ipad and whatever you are using as a backing plate. When mine is complete i will try and get some better pics but yeah keep this is mind.

Hey Guys,

Ok, I have been in talk with some companies to make this as a plastic mould for the fascia and mount.

It will have the same look as your factory radio (same dimensions, Top Lip etc).

It will attach to the head unit using the 4 same clips the original headunit does.

What i need to know is what people would be willing to pay for something like this.

Im not looking to make any profit off this however making a mould for liquid injection is pretty expensive and i dont want to lose $1000's if no one wants one.

When i finish doing it up in Auto CAD i will put a model of it up here.

Cheers guys.

Hells yes Westy27 that would be incredible!!!!!! I think the upper limit for just the facia plate would be around the $250 mark depending on quality and appearance. Also would this fit all VE's or just series 1? and what models? Omega SS Caprice?

 

[westy27]

Plan is to fit all Series Ones. Would not be any market i would think in the series 2 at the moment to justify a mould being made.

Ok mate that works for me
Just another thing to keep in mind the iPad 2 is at least half way through its product life

 

[westy27]

Yeah, thats why i want to make sure there is a little bit of demand off the bat as i will prob only do 1 or 2 batches of them.

If so put me on the list mate , I'm real keen to see this happen.
This would be unreal

If you had it set up like that ^^^ There would not be much of a mould to make.

 

[westy27]

I will be setting it up as landscape first, as this A) Fits the HVAC Controller underneath and B) what most people have been asking for in pms. but i dare say a portrait one will follow.

Ok, that is fine to, what price point are you looking at?
