Anyone have an iPad mini

Does anyone have an iPad mini where they can put it up against the factory head unit opening and snap a picture?

I'm curious to see how the dimensions work out in the factory location.

Look at the android Nexus 7 work that's been done first. As it is, it looks like the iPad mini is too wide without serious modifications to the dash area.

A win before mounting, and now a win after mounting.

This is definitely doable. I would most likely cover the clock/hazard/pass air bag lights with the iPad mini.

Now I want one so badly!

Does anyone know if I can store music on an SD card and use that Lightning adapter to play from it? If so I'd probably get the cheapest 16GB model.

I love the key word there, "stuck."

I like that mount a lot!! Where did you get it and does it make it difficult to access the radio functions such as volume?
