Does anybody have a know how? Any samples of the mount? Vendors? I am very interested.

 

I imagine over time there will be more options, but with the iPad so new, there isn't much out there yet. There is one in the works that looks interesting:

You are right Wilco it's too early but they are coming. This one looks good

Sounds distracting...

 

Here are some options:

cellphones are one thing......this would be a whole new level of distraction.
Maybe the passanger could be your ipad holder

 

Worry warts...

 

ProClip USA has mounting solutions as well. I believe they're available now. I'm also in the midst of setting something up with the iPad in-car.

For what it's worth, if you're looking for a small keyboard to use to make typing easier while it's mounted (for the passenger of course , the PS3 keypad works pretty well.. Tab-key and arrow keys included. Hides nicely in the cubby behind the cupholders too =)

 

Reviving this thread from the dead Any updates, installs? There's no way to cleanly mount an iPad in the Mini I would think, but am interested in how people have done it.

 

I chose not to get my new MINI with Nav, since I have an iPad and the Motion XDrive HD is such a consistently good app. I've tested it on several trips against my car nav. Easier to enter data, easier to follow. The compromises, of course, are mounting and glare. The iPad's face will catch more glare than a factory nav, so you have to be judicious. I currently have it between the seats, sort of tucked onto the e-brake, and at an angle. Works perfect. But then again, for me, it's not intended to live there. I don't use nav daily. It's for when I'm on a trip or going to a job site, etc. More important to HEAR it than see it, by far, for safety and efficiency...

I was thinking of rigging up my own holder out of posable art-clip stand and a weight for sinking into the cup holder, but I'll check a few of these links out again and see if there are any good ideas...

 

Well, I used an aircraft RAM mount in a MINI for a while but it was not practical because you need to drill holes and use structural screws. Also iPad is too heavy for suction cup. Balancing it inside cup holder with heavy weight was not successful either.





Still looking for solutions and examples.

 

You can contact Jennifer at her site. I think she has had an iPad attachment in her MINI for months now.

i wan it as a interface cos ive poor eye sight

 

I don't have a Flickr account...... can I contact her through NAM?

 

jbourne, I sent her a message and I hope she responds.

 

thanks very much - appreciated!

 

Alas, Mine is not mounted. I have it plugged into the iPod y-connector and just leaned it up against the center console. Im sure it would not work well for spirited driving with twisty turns, but worked well on a highway drive. I don't need a mount since I don't use it in the MINI that often.

 

Understood. Back to the drawing board, I guess. Thanks for the reply tho!

 

Aluvendale, thanks for your response.
Jbourne, I'm wondering if the the brackets are marketed due to laws about drivers not being able to view video monitors while driving. Also, I will search when I have time. Good luck!

 

Please someone let me know soon. I was thinking about just going with a Kenwood x993 Unit but thinking about the iPad. "It" would be such a Greater Purchase for the Mini Cooper. Any more Ideas?

 

Can somebody tell me how to mount my 47 inch Samsung?

 

1.Remove Front seats
2.remove doors
3.remove shifter.
4.Bolt tv to floor pans and dash
5.Get an extra long extension cord and television cable
6 Wire it all up.
7. Sit in the back seat, and enjoy your favorite shows from the comfort of your own MINI

 

Where would you put that? The R56's dash is completely unwelcoming of ANY kind of devices, it being round and all.

I'm going to get the ProClip I think, and try it.

I saw a guy do it in a Hummer :P

 

Thanks man. I'll be getting this

Much better than getting a Car Audio head unit

 

Scratch that^^^
