Well that's probably the best use of an iOS product - a car dash or a kiosk ad.

You are kidding right? I would love to put a REAL tablet like a Nexus 7 & then we would be rolling in high tech!

People have already put tablets, such as the Nexus 7, into their dashboards. I don't see why it's such "news" when it's done with Mini.

And the best part is a moron did it for his Corolla.
Apple users and Toyota drivers go well together - both are lifeless appliances.

I've been itching to do this with a nexus 7 since you guys showed that article a couple months back. Just cant afford it yet.

The picture of this idiot says it all. Typical fanboy.

You are without question a complete idiot. That's the installer that created the flush mount, and the mechanism to put the tablet in the dash. Get your facts straight.

Well it makes three f ags now... the owner, the installer and you. Don't get all butthurt becuase someone is talking about another fanboy, sorry I ruined your circle jerk.

Yup, you're right. Because your original comment says "The picture of this idiot says it all. Typical fanboy." Clearly it shows you're not talking about the guy in the picture.
Talk about someone getting butthurt? Ha! You get called out on a BS statement and get upset like a little B*$%h.
I'm done with this, have fun trying to look tough online, dumb@$$.

Another smart way to make sure you car gets broken into. Plain genius...

I would love to do a tablet dash, but I would need tablet to be removeable since I wont actually use internet connectivity for it, but just use it for music and whatnot, so it would need to be removeable so that I can load new music and whatnot for it.

Just buy a double din Android dvd headnuit with a removable android tablet, you get so much more out of it, like maps that actually work, SD card reader, DVD DVB DVR, 3G, WIFI, Bluetooth, you can connect your iCrap player/phone into it and so much more. Here is one of MANY examples.

That thing is mad outdated. 2.3 really? probably no dev. support, cool idea, and about the same price as a custom job. I have a car adio buddy who told be I'd be looking at like 5-600 for a nexus 7 installed with an amp and some control doodad and a bespoke "stock looking" mount.

So what happens when the iPad has an issue? Is it removable by the owner or do they need to take it to the customs shop that installed it? Or should Apple invest in Apple Auto Centers and start doing this themselves?

Wait so how does it play music through bluetooth or something?
