iPad mini - now a possible replacement for the stereo.

If I didn't already have a nav unit I would consider it. Maybe when I pick up my next M3.

It's possible to install an ipad in the dash of any car.

Ummm have you looked in to the dimensions of the ipad mini because what i have heard is that it was too wide. I know that the Nexus 7 fits almost perfectly but it isnt as wide and i think it is a tad bit longer.

Ummm, no, not at all. There's nothing "advanced" at all about iOS. In fact, it prides itself on it's simplicity. It's remained the exact same interface since 2007. Even Woz says it's behind. I'd go as far as to say some head unit's *gulp* WinCE interfaces are much better suited or a car.

I've been a huge advocate of mobile os platforms in vehicles for stereos. Unfortunately for camp Apple, it's probably never going to happen on a dedicated unit. Apple's OS isn't open source. And if they decided to enter that market, it would be like 2500$ for a head unit. Besides, just having an icon grid would be lame in a car.

Apple should really open up the integration with their OS. So a head unit manufacturer could do something like what App Radio does with my Android phone. A full mirror of the guest device on the screen and controlled by the screen. Open the glove box, hook up the ipad, close the glove box and be on your way...Oh, and GPS (that works) would be something nice to have in a car too...

You could always do Android with Espier Launcher. It will look and feel JUST like iOS.

Yea the ipad mini is a bit more wider & taller but I'm planing on cutting & fiber grassing the OEM bezel to fit the wider tablet I just bought the mini today ill be posting on my journal.

Looks like jailbroken iPhones work quite well with AppRadio2.

This looks like a gimmick that will be fun the first few weeks around and then the idea gets tossed in the big because it's really not practical. That being said, impress me

Ish, you still need to go to cydia, download extensions, then select which apps you want to share. Even then you can't just throw the phone in the glove box and do the interfacing entirely from the AR2.
