My iPhone is jail broken so yes, not all is well in the Apple world and the mini would be better jail broken, but I can live without because of the simplicity. When I get in my Boxster, I want to escape and have fun, a computer would ruin that experience but I don't think a mini would. Looking at double din units, you can't get the functionality of a mini and head unit can provide. Plus, for the cost of a good DD unit, you can get a single din and mini and have some change left over. The only thing missing for me is a back up camera, I need to figure out how to hook one up to the mini. I also need to decide if the new mini is worth the extra $$$ over an Apple refurb unit. Just my .02.

... Well, just got a hold of the real thing, and yes it does fit perfectly. I mean, even if I wasn't going to mount the ipad in the car, this is just a perfect case for the ipad anyways... So snug and OEM.
But seriously though, it turned out great. The ipad doesn't even wiggle around, but I think I'll add a rubber grommet/ gasket just to be sure I don't hear any squeaking while enjoying my new set up. All that is left is to sand and spray the bezel. I think I'll just go with flat black like the car already has and consider a brushed metal vinyl wrap in the near future. As soon as everything fits well I'll be posting a more fluid how-to for this upgrade.
Thanks for all the support and I hope someone else does this too...
