Ipad mini in-dash installation

[Cebu]

I'm going the route as sneakfe's setup. I dig the look of the enclosed iPad but I use my iPad too much. That being said if I ever get a 2nd iPad I may go ahead and do the enclosed method. Until my new panel comes in from Pelican Parts I'm using the one from down below. You can see the gaps.

I added DashCommand to the Boxstar using a $39 7" tablet from WM Black Friday sale and the OBDLink Bluetooth transmitter. I took the storage bins out and the tablet fit right in. I need to fabricate a plastic spacer for the bottom. I hope I don't wreck watching all the flashing lights and numbers.

Have any successfully powered (switched power) an iPad using the AUX port on the 986 Becker? Will it keep it charged? This cable is available:
