Thread: Final Ipad install in my 2008 Pontiac G8 GT

I basically modified an iphone windshield mount and adhered a universal 3m type holder to it and the back of the Ipad. It is very strong and the part stuck to the Ipad can be removed without damage if need be in the future.

Ah... are you using that 3M double lock stuff? Definitely strong enough... I'm just a little freaked about applying anything adhesive to the back and being left with sticky residue.

I had to relocate it to get the fitment right but it did not seam to leave any residue.

Here is a video showing remote control of my Ipod using the Ipad to control it with an app called Tango Remote.

yea bro post a build thread or something, more details! I would love to get this in my BMW.

Pix as well, some of us @ work can't see youtube feed's cause they're blocked so pix would be nice! Oh, and please. :-)

Yeah, how about pictures of the mount without the ipad? That would be great!

Alright, here you go. I combined two things easily obtainable from best buy. A windshield Iphone mount and a universal dash mount for Iphone. I cut the end of the windshield mount opposite the suction cup and glued one half of the universal tab mount to the modified windshield mount. Then I attached it to the stock screen area( I relocated my display to the bottom dash area) Attach the second half of the universal mount to the back of the Ipad and bingo. Obviously, your specific car may not work this way.

Note the ability to still tighten the mount to the dash if it get too loose and how easy it is to remove the Ipad from the car. It's not for everyone but I'm working on a future(cleaner)solution but it will be G8 specific.

Here is my build thread on a G8 forum: http://forum.grrrr8.net/showthread.p...gration-thread

So that's NOT your nav display...I spilt coffee all over the keyboard when I first saw the first pic!
