Thanks for your thoughts! Did anyone devise a removal system so that you can take the tablet with you? How are all properly securing the tablet in the dash?
From what I can see quickly: It looks like one has to hollow out the upper din rack leading edges to match the iPads rear housing and then make certain adjustments to the horse shoe for clearance; pad up the inside of the horseshoe; snap on horseshoe side covers to retain the iPad. Looks tricky to shape just right; is just the horseshoe that gets dremeled?
-What are the adjustments to the horseshoe and how did were they made to look this good!
- Are you powering the iPad directly from the Becker?
-What audio out cable is needed for the Becker?
-Is there any need to retain a USB input....What does the power cable configuration look like??
-What is the best horseshoe model to use??

You can buy an external GPS but cost wise, it is about the same as getting it built in and then you would have another device that needs to be charged.

The other advantage of the mini over APP Radio is screen size and of course customization. I have my home screen set to be fairly clean with only the apps that I use most in the tray. I swipe to get to the other apps that aren't as frequently used. You also aren't limited to the apps that Pioneer supports. The mini is not hard to access, the wings on the horseshoe pop out without much effort. I have the mini set to sync via wifi which it does from the garage. All in all, it is one of those great bang for the buck mods. I bought a used horseshoe so I can go back to stock anytime. |
