Take a look at this thread:
iPad Mini in-dash install [996 MkII] - 6speedonline.com Forums
Lots of great information in there.

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; (No padding)snap on horseshoe side covers to retain the iPad. Looks tricky to shape just right; is just the horseshoe that gets dremeled? The wings also get Dremeled.

-What are the adjustments to the horseshoe and how did were they made to look this good! Take your time with the dremel!

- Are you powering the iPad directly from the Becker? Yes, but I have now swapped out the Becker for a Pioneer HU with dual USB outputs.

-What audio out cable is needed for the Becker? I used this - iP-BKR2 iPod Adapter for Becker and other Radios with "AUX" Menu Setting :: iPod Adapters & Interfaces and a 30 pin to lightning adapter.

-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?? What you already have, or buy a used one(I did) so that you can always go back or if you want or practice your dremel skills on the used one.
Read through this thread and the other thread on sixspeedonline forum. All of the information is there and quite easy. Just take your time. You can mark your line on where you want to remove material with tape, and then just start cutting.
