ipad in x5 anyone?
 
Hi! Been wondering about installing my ipad in my x5, i would be great for music since i have a dice unit and great for movies and nav options. We have a 3d printer at work that i might use for making some kind of adaptor, bracket for it. But im not sure where to place it. Was wondering about moving the original nav unit and maby put some kind of docking there for it. Or maby just getting an ipad bracket. Anyone have some good thoughts ideas about this?

What are you, 4'3"?

It's an inch taller than the speedo hump.

More like a good 4 inches taller but that's not the point. It cuts out a huge amount of sight line.

If you sit that low I guess so.

5'11"...

An inch taller than a speed bump? A speed bump isn't 12" away from your face.

It cuts a HUGE amount of vision, especially diagonal.

I guess different strokes for different folks.

Forget a ticket, that thing is an accident waiting to happen. Reminds me of a Leno headlines episode that showed a laptop steering wheel mount.

On a serious note, does the normal Ipod dock work with the Ipad? Can I put music on the pad and have it play like a pod?
