Oh that's right you live in Chattanooga TN.

Are you saying breathing restricts a massive amount of vision, becomes a distraction from the primary task of driving? Sorry the analogy makes no sense. Many states recognize windshield obstructions as a safety issue that could cause a fatal accident. I wonder if that might have a any effect on the drivers breathing.

That's a 1.5 lb hammer flying around the cabin in the event of a collision. Of course, the 3 foot tall kid stepping off the curb that you can't see probably won't knock the iPad off the mount so you should be OK.

Thanx for sharing, I was thinking of making more of a permanent solution, with docking for the music. Been looking around the net and found quite a few different solutions, but not one i like jet!

One solution that would work is removing the centre air outlet and making a dock for it there! What you guys think about that?

Any more users here with diy ipad stands or oem bracket solutions that care to share a picture? or are everyone afraid of being flamed after the reactions OLT got :wow:;)

Yep, it's a projectile. The same projectile that blocked the windshield vision to begin with.

I'd rather drive a non-wanna-be x5.

My ass, if they are scared of some keyboard warriors acting like bafoons they likely need to stay hid anyway. Some of the whiniest crap I have seen on the Internet in this thread. People typing just to be typing.

"whaaa I tint my windows to 5% to look cool, but I can't see over a small object on the dash" B.S......... If they are gonna troll they are gonna need a lot more work on doing it. My grandma trolls harder than that.

To each his own of course but I'm reasonably certain that if others have/or had this setup or anything like it they would be more than willing to share their setup. It could be though that the majority may find this setup unproductive, unsafe and perhaps unnecessary.;)

Back to Alex3d's request. Here's some mounts for the rear. This might lead you in the right direction.

BTW you might ask "PersonaNonGrata" about his iPad Mounts.

Here is my iPad mount install. Parts cost me less than 20 bucks at a Home Depot.
