Back in 2007 I worked as a development engineer in human machine interface for an auto company. We purchased an SUV to fit with products consistent with our future vision. In early meetings I presented my vision where the smartphone carried all personalization and entertainment, and physical buttons and controls related to these functions would be assigned by that device. The group sat dumbfounded. I had just foretold the end of in car infotainment growth, and it made complete sense. The company rejected my direction because it limited growth "share". They instead struggled to produce lame functions that were always obsolete from day one. Your iPad solution in this video is the best approximation I have seen to my concept, but it still lacks access to fixed controls in the vehicle.
@@Snayps You are welcome! Keep up the good work. BTW it has been some years (12) but the multiplex comunications we used for the switches were super simple and ALL the steering wheel switches are multiplexed because the go through the clock spring. A device at the connector at the base of the column could make all the stearing wheel switches assignable.
Carrying your iPad into your car kind of reminds me of the old days where used to have to pull out our Alpine car stereos, but obviously you can use the iPad outside of your car but not the Alpine stereo 😅. We have progressed.
I've seen a video or two many years ago where some people installed first or second generation iPads in their 90s or 2000s cars, from the likes of Mighty Car Mods, Soundman Car Audio, and "GadgetFreeway", but I find it cool to actually see someone doing the same thing but with a newer iPad model and thus, a much newer version of iPadOS with more features!
The Form Factor of the iPad is very flexible ergonomic and portable. Apple GPS Maps for route-finding works very well due to the large screen plus the ability to use the iPad for other functions also eg music, web etc. The custom-made holder for the car is very useful for clear viewing of the iPad as dashboard, that's a clever idea to custom make one.
@@MinerManDouglas Without a Cellular model the iPad will not be able to locate its position due to the fact that the A-GPS chip is part of the cellular chip hardware. Otherwise at best it will only acquire its location from a connected cellular device such as your phone if configured to be a hotspot, but even then it will have a significant delay as it only updates every so often.
Great video! Please make sure your background music is quieter in the future, it's really hard to hear you over the loud music. But this is a great idea!
I appreciate the attention to detail on both the mount and the shortcut integrations. It’s clear, you not only had the vision but the knowledge to execute. “Execution is the chariot of genius!” 👏🏼
@@noblethomas23 It works on any tablet that as an internet connection. You don't need an iPad pro with cellular internet, you can use for example an iPad or Ipad Mini, that are cheaper, and will be perfect for this task, and for, you can simply do a hotspot from your phone. The Apple Maps or Google Maps apps can download maps offline, and you can also download your music on apps like Spotify or Apple Music to listen offline, so for short trips you don't need to bother connecting the hotspot. No need to pay extra to have cellular internet. Just make sure your cellphone has a mobile plan with plenty amount of Hotspot to share.
Thank you!!! I’ve been daydreaming about this since 2010. I have an old Jag that I’ve refused to replace the system on because I knew this was possible. It’s perfect!!!
I did, at the last moment when sharing I made the music little up since it felt low before, it was too up and I will not make the same mistake again, thank you. 🙌
This is so well done. Your animations and editing are excellent! I wish we could run native CarPlay on the iPad, but this is a great option. I loved some of the tips like using the AC to cool the iPad and increasing the system font size. I was thinking it wouldn't be smart to block the vents, but this makes it functional too!
@@MichaelofStratford I've seen cheapo aftermarket sat navs for single din car stereos that look a lot like this iPad solution, 10-inch display included. I understand the attention part, but I don't think an iPad is that attention-grabbing to be hoonest, especially in a world where millions of people use phone mounts with phones way more expensive than an iPad
@@MichaelofStratfordthe good thing about the iPad is he can very easily just take it with him and not leave it in the car. And judging by how he has the shortcuts set up and the car focus mode. That’s exactly what he does.
Wow! This is a boss level mod! In my case I'm presently using my iPhone with a MagSafe mount and wireless charger, and that works pretty well for me. But there are certainly times where more screen real estate would definitely work better. Impressive! 👌
me too. i wonder if always remembering to bring the ipad and take it off is a pain in the ass. phone just goes in my pocket and I bring it with me everywhere anyway.. don't always bring an ipad though...
6:11 For this to work properly a car with good dashboard is highly recommended. Your car had a very nice dashboard which went really well with the iPad. Also the position of the AC vents was just perfect.(chef’s kiss.) This way, the iPad will stay cool, when using GPS and data so it wouldn’t heat up as much.
Loved the idea and adored your animations. The styling was superb. I think most automakers should just add an iPad as their CarPlay/Android Auto integration, the iPad layout just works, and it's still kind of embarrassing that they pour so much into R/D and the infotainment system is just, every single time, an afterthought. Thank you!
I did this too, have my iPad Pro Wi-Fi connected to a Garmin Bluetooth gps to have a better navigation and also handcrafted a support using a magnetical folio case. Best idea that I ever had
@@HaydarAlThwainihey I bought a garmin glo 2 which is a Bluetooth transmitter, I’m very happy with it, the battery isn’t great but you can keep it charged with the usb cable
Keep up the good work! My recommendation for your growing channel is that kindly keep the music volume a bit lower than your voice since it was a bit difficult to understand your voice. Other than that, best work. I will surely try this with the iPad😊
OMG! i’ve been using my ipad in car exactly the same for half a years too! it’s so nice to see someone actually doin the same❤ but your mount is definitely more convenient, i use a spring clamp kinda mount but it works the same
I’ve been doing this for years. I utilize the cd player slot in my car and use a modified metal deck plate for the base along with some magnets attached to the rear of my iPad. It keeps the iPad low and does not obstruct my driving view. This works great on the 10.9 iPad, good with my 12.9 iPad but I think the iPad mini would be the GOAT.
Great video! Thanks for the tips. One tip from me, if people don’t have a spot to mount it can use quad lock. They have 3M base mounts, and the female mount also is a 3M to put it directly at the back of the iPad. I would suggest buying a skin first for the back of the iPad in case you want to remove the mount in the future. This way you can use the iPad horizontally but also vertically.
Thank you very much. ✨ Nice tip! I actually thought about guadlock, but I did not like the aesthetic part of it, so i choosed for a magnetic case, but i can definitely say it is more safe solution with possibility of portrait as well, right. 🙌 Thank you for sharing. 🤝
The creative, solution driven build, the slick editing, the informative no nonsense voice over. I love everything about this video! One suggestion I’d make, U=shaped usb c adapter. I have a similar solution sat on my desk, I 3D printed a 2mm thin layer the same height and width as the iPad case, it has a channel which fits the usb-c cable snuggly and that’s connected to a usb-c u-snapped adapter. Means I can place my iPad on the magnetic case and then just push the charger into it, really convenient and no visible cables.
@@SnaypsHope you figure that out! I’ve got a water damaged Magic Keyboard that’s been sat in my drawer for about a year now with the intention of trying to work it out. I’ll keep an eye out for your video on it :)
I have a 12.9 inch iPad and I literally think that’s all the time and how good of an idea it would be and it’s so nice to see someone finally make that idea of reality and it actually works really well too as you’ve demonstrated with the speed on the side just like a Tesla keep it up :3
Awesome! This is great for people who get a cellular iPad and drive cars without CarPlay. For those who don't have a cellular iPad, you can share your iPhone's GPS if you use your iPhone's hotspot. Unfortunately, the GPS sharing only works with iPhone+iPad, not with Android+iPad.
Went into Rogers yesterday and bought 2 Iphones for my kids, got a free 9th gen Ipad cellular. couldn't think of a use for it, but this vid just made a new purpose for it. off to order all the parts to get this going. Thanks!
Rad idea, definitely insure your voiceover is a bit louder than your background music. Usually in my editor with louder tracks like this, I'll have them hover around the -20db to -26db depending on the track.
@@Snaypsalso if you’re geeky enough you could sidechain your bg audio to your vo so the gain will dynamically adjust based on whether you’re talking or not
Why would there ever be music playing while you’re talking? Have you ever watched a TED talk, is there a band playing during that talk? When you’re having face-to-face conversations with people, do you play music from your phone during that interaction? Why does the majority of u tubers think that music must be played behind every video ? WTH is going on 🤬
Now this is the kind of creativity i long for on a daily basis! Looking forward to your next project and i have high expectations. New sub here, good job man! 👍👍👍👍
I've actually done this on a couple of cars with great success each time. Unfortunately when I started doing this with the newer Mini-LED ipad pros I realized a major flaw with them is that they do NOT work with polarized sunglasses. I live in SoCal so polarized sunglasses are a must. Another thing with any ipad is you will also run into brightness issues in bright-light (like the sun beaming on you), it's not terrible just not ideal compared to a screen that comes with a car. Also - and this is obvious but just to note - this is illegal to do, if a cop pulls you over and sees you have this setup they will obviously ticket you for that, so just make sure you take it off before that lol. With all that said, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you do this if you don't already have a good apple carplay screen, it's extremely worth it, especially if you drive long distances. EXTRA NOTE: If you plan on doing this, WAIT FOR THE IPAD PROS WITH OLED DISPLAYS. Not only will the OLED display versions be super bright (just look at the new iPhone 15 Pro Max) but you will NOT have polarization issues. There won't be viewing angle issues either and it will look the same no matter the angle.
Yeah but this could be illegal in your country, but here in Czech Republic, it's not... The only thing could be an issue. If the device blocks the driver's view...
Why would the Mini-LED iPad not working with polarized sunglasses be a flaw of the iPad? That's ridiculous. And you are telling me the 12 inch Display In many cars is legal, but the iPad is not?
@@enterprisecreations1492 it's not, like, a moral fault of the iPad or whatever. But many LCD screens don't work with polarised lenses, or only at certain angles from them. It's definitely something people should bear in mind if they want to copy this!
Really nice! One suggestion to make it even more automated: make an automation where the car focus mode activates when the iPad connects to your car Bluetooth
@@IanSampaio…Using an NFC as a ‘inside car locator’.. yeah, I’m SO using your idea. Odd that I didn’t think of it, given I’ve got NFC tags all over my house (some 80 and counting 😳)… they are SO useful! Time to add a few to my rides! Thanks for the idea!
I love this idea- my only issue is that it removes back up cam functionality, not 100% necessary, but it’s a nice feature. I’ll keep my magnetic iPad mounts installed for longer drives, much appreciated, also planning on using your focus feature template
Had this in my watch later since the last 6 7 months. I have no regrets watching it now. Loved the idea man. Really inspired by the thought and hopefully I can come up with another solution for Indian car Drivers and Indian cars.
@@adityaaurodipta Thank you so very much for a feedback like this, I am glad you like it and trying to find solution for your homies in your country. This is the reason why I keep continue in this UA-cam channel. Thank you.🙏🏼✨
I had this idea in mind of using ipad mini but never knew how to execute it.. you nailed it man with iPad pro (even better)... The Efforts to create the magnetic holder and shortcuts is commendable - perfect execution ....💪🏼.... Subscribed
I wouldn't use a mini i would think its good idea but realized you can get 256 gb's of space on those. go with 11 inch ipad pro 2 tb's than you can save movies on it and songs.
I had never once thought of getting an iPad with cellular before watching this video. I drive a 2019 Toyota with CarPlay, but screen is too small, fixed in its place, & requires me to look away from front view to see it. To be able to use a 12.9 iPad Pro would be a big improvement. Apple needs to take note of your great concept.
This is amazing!! It even looks like a Tesla screen. I’m sure many people will implement this on their cars. Personally my iPhone 14 Pro with MagSafe stand from bulking is working fine for me.
Amazing video! Thanks for your work. One suggestion, in the beginning of the video, the music was a bit loud comparing to the voice, apart of that, really nice 👌🏼
I could most definitely see this coming into the production market of vehicles . Being able to just put an iPad into any modern car’s dashboard is really convenient and easy solution instead of developing a screen that supports AirPlay which can be slow and instead use a more easily usable and faster device just like nothing. The only thing I’d want more out of this idea is the ability to charge magnetically when attached in the car and it automatically syncing to the car when placed on the magnetic holder.
It will never go in to a production vehicle because automakers don't like giving up control of the data they could collect from you using their own built in screens.
Tks for this video. It gave me a good idea and to use strong magnet mounts and built a similar setup in my Mini! Also using your shortcuts with just some slight modifications!
A very well made video about a topic that I love. I had a similar setup a few years ago, just was more simple. I used a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 inch that mounted onto a Tablet holder that fit into the cars CD slot. It connected to power and aux directly and I had it mounted vertically. Then I always had a split screen with maps on top and music on the bottom. I love that setup, but had to abandon it, as we switched to a car, which was too small to reasonably mount the tablet somewhere. I’ve been eying the iPad mini for a new attempt, but not having horizontal split screen, would be a downgrade compared to my old solution, but I would have access to the iOS app ecosystem, so it might be worth it.
This was excellent. I love starting with the requirements, explaining each of the issues and how you approached them. In addition I loved the modern editing with the modern sound effects and clean video. Overall, excellent solution and presentation.
I’ve done this too! My current setup is a switch buddy thin case with 2 magnets attached to the back I bought off Amazon. I attach it to 2 magnetic car mounts side by side. Works like a charm 👍🏽
Good implementation. iPad mini would work better for me, but it’s a personal preference. I’ve seen some people completely change their infotainment systems with off-the-shelf tablets with preloaded apps and custom interfaces, but your solution is quick and more user-friendly. Good job!
@@89five3fiveyea I know it sounds surprising, however, iPad mini is priced higher than the regular iPad (10th generation) regardless of the model type. iPad mini comes with A15 bionic chip as compared to the A14 bionic provided in iPad 10th gen.
Great idea, just one minor flow, you might want the connection between iPad and mont to be rigid instead of magnetic. The iPad would fly toward your rear passenger during a rear ended accident, and depending on the angle of the collision, it might fly towards the driver as well.
Great idea! I would love to have this in my car as well. Only problem I am seeing is the position of the iPad obstructs the view of the driver to the passenger side. Not full obstruction but it limits the view somehow. Lowering it down however may result to restriction of the usage of some dashboard buttons.
Just posted a comment on here if you want to read it its using the scosche magnet and you can easily have full movement of the iPad can lower it or raise it or lay it down where its not in your way hope this helps
This is a brilliant video! I can't stand the cheap plastic infotainment screens that look like they're from the toy aisle at Walmart. I wonder how someone could tear out the infotainment screen in an existing car, such as a Prius or Mazda, have the dash repaired, and then install an iPad? Another idea is you can go to settings and change the color filter on the iPad to B&W only, which would reduce distractions even more.
Thank you for the compliment. ✨ Sure you're right about the plastics. The black and white is of course an option, or you can reduce a white point as well, which will also reduce distraction. Thank you once more. 🙌
@@Snayps Do you know any shop or customizer who knows how to tear out existing infotainment screens, fix the dash, and do the install you did? This could be a great business idea.
Nice build. I would maybe try to mount it lower to the dash so it does not disturb you that much during driving. Maybe also add a little angle to the mount so it is a little more directed to the driver as he needs the information. For the video itself i felt like the background music was to loud. It was sometimes hard to understand you or rather i needed to concentrate a little more then usually to understand the voice in the video.
Sure you can use a Mini! A lot of people talk about it in the comments, for my use case the 11" is the perfect solution, also you depend on the iPad you want to use in your personal life. 🙌
Feature Idea to add - Use ipad cameras simultaneously as dashcam for internal and external loop recording - you need to build an app for that but it would be awesome! you can even integrate all these shortcuts into that one app and make it as a product.
Increíble presentación y producción del video, muy profesional e intuitivo para todos que somos amantes del ecosistema de Apple. Gracias desde Colombia!!
Been doing this with a Samsung tablet in DEX mode as it allows you to have multiple windows and re-size them as you see fit. I typically have Waze & Spotify or Google maps and a Music player side by side.

@@Snayps this loks really cool. but isn't it illegal to mount tablets in a car.
@@GamingTrivia1113In the U.S. at least, yes
L-shape USB-C charging cable is needed.
I think you could put a NFC tag on the case to activate the focus automatically when its "docked" on the dashboard
You nailed it!
or when it's connected to the car bluetooth
The Ipad doesn't have NFC
It's old technology because it's apple

I have a 12.9 inch iPad and I literally think that’s all the time and how good of an idea it would be and it’s so nice to see someone finally make that idea of reality and it actually works really well too as you’ve demonstrated with the speed on the side just like a Tesla keep it up :3
Thank you for the feedback! 🙌

Awesome!
This is great for people who get a cellular iPad and drive cars without CarPlay.
For those who don't have a cellular iPad, you can share your iPhone's GPS if you use your iPhone's hotspot. Unfortunately, the GPS sharing only works with iPhone+iPad, not with Android+iPad.
How do you share your gps?
@@wassimkr4510 You don't. Just use your iPhone's hotspot to connect to your wifi iPad (any iPad) and GPS of iPhone will be shared to the iPad.
Mine is kinda laggy when I share mine, Amy tips for fixing this?
I do not think this is true for either iphone or android tethering. GPS data will not be transferred via tethering.
people were doing this with andriod tablets 10 years ago, still impressive to see it done today. repurposing tools is a plus!
Nice, thanks for sharing!
very informative and great content. one suggestion however, please lower the background music as it was a bit distracting.
This is an insanely high quality video. Your channel is super underated. Keep on creating!!
Thank you so much for this kind of feedback! ✨
The quality and precision of this video is amazing! 5 stars.
Love to hear this, means so much to me and for my next videos. Thank you mate.
@@Snaypswhat is the iPad model I want to set up same in my car
Cože? Čech co vytváří reálně užitečné věci které jsem ještě neviděl v Americe? Cením👍
Wow, od Čecha si taky cením téhle reakce, díky moc! ✌✨
Sooo satisfying to watch. thanks a lot. Best wishes from Germany.
This is even more satisfying to read, thank you, appreciate it. ✨👏
Bro turned his car into a Tesla.
On gang
Sorta, but it's more like BYD with their own huge tablet
I would say, its even Better!!! It has an Engine and I feel like its easier to use and not have range anxiety. AMAZING!
The tesla screen is way bigger than an iPad !
Very cool. You have exposed some features that I did not even know existed. Beautiful!
I am glad I gave you something, thanks. 🙌
Went into Rogers yesterday and bought 2 Iphones for my kids, got a free 9th gen Ipad cellular. couldn't think of a use for it, but this vid just made a new purpose for it. off to order all the parts to get this going. Thanks!
This is so wonderful compliment for me, thank you so very much, I am glad you like it. ✨
I have always wanted to do this in my Skoda for as long as i remember, finally someone made a video about it ❤📈
What a luck right, enjoy! 🙌
Hi bro , were you able to integrate in your Skoda ? I have an Skoda rapid and want to integrate it .
Rad idea, definitely insure your voiceover is a bit louder than your background music. Usually in my editor with louder tracks like this, I'll have them hover around the -20db to -26db depending on the track.
Thank you for feedback, will work on that.
@@Snaypsalso if you’re geeky enough you could sidechain your bg audio to your vo so the gain will dynamically adjust based on whether you’re talking or not
@@SnaypsI didn’t notice any issue with the volume personally. Great video
Why would there ever be music playing while you’re talking? Have you ever watched a TED talk, is there a band playing during that talk? When you’re having face-to-face conversations with people, do you play music from your phone during that interaction?
Why does the majority of u tubers think that music must be played behind every video ? WTH is going on 🤬
Definitely depends on the device, sounds decent on my laptop, but fell apart on my tv. @@Kinskii
Now this is the kind of creativity i long for on a daily basis! Looking forward to your next project and i have high expectations. New sub here, good job man! 👍👍👍👍
Wow, what a feedback. Thank you so very much. ✨
This video was more engaging the some movies that i know ! Well done, congrats and enjoy
Thank you for a compliment like this, it is a huge motivation for next episodes. Wow. Thanks! ✨
I've actually done this on a couple of cars with great success each time. Unfortunately when I started doing this with the newer Mini-LED ipad pros I realized a major flaw with them is that they do NOT work with polarized sunglasses. I live in SoCal so polarized sunglasses are a must. Another thing with any ipad is you will also run into brightness issues in bright-light (like the sun beaming on you), it's not terrible just not ideal compared to a screen that comes with a car. Also - and this is obvious but just to note - this is illegal to do, if a cop pulls you over and sees you have this setup they will obviously ticket you for that, so just make sure you take it off before that lol. With all that said, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you do this if you don't already have a good apple carplay screen, it's extremely worth it, especially if you drive long distances.
EXTRA NOTE: If you plan on doing this, WAIT FOR THE IPAD PROS WITH OLED DISPLAYS. Not only will the OLED display versions be super bright (just look at the new iPhone 15 Pro Max) but you will NOT have polarization issues. There won't be viewing angle issues either and it will look the same no matter the angle.
Why is having your iPhone 15 Pro max (approx 7 inch) legal but having an iPad mini (approx 8 inch) illegal? 🤔
Yeah but this could be illegal in your country, but here in Czech Republic, it's not... The only thing could be an issue. If the device blocks the driver's view...
Why would the Mini-LED iPad not working with polarized sunglasses be a flaw of the iPad? That's ridiculous. And you are telling me the 12 inch Display In many cars is legal, but the iPad is not?
It's not illegal
@@enterprisecreations1492 it's not, like, a moral fault of the iPad or whatever. But many LCD screens don't work with polarised lenses, or only at certain angles from them. It's definitely something people should bear in mind if they want to copy this!
Really nice! One suggestion to make it even more automated: make an automation where the car focus mode activates when the iPad connects to your car Bluetooth
It will popup the notification every time, but thanks for the suggestion! ✨
You can use a normal NFC or an AirTag (as a NFC) which doubles as location for your car
@@IanSampaiogood idea
I was going suggest that as well. I have an iPad and I get super distracted on that mug so having it while I drive = disaster
@@IanSampaio…Using an NFC as a ‘inside car locator’.. yeah, I’m SO using your idea.
Odd that I didn’t think of it, given I’ve got NFC tags all over my house (some 80 and counting 😳)… they are SO useful! Time to add a few to my rides!
Thanks for the idea!
I love this idea- my only issue is that it removes back up cam functionality, not 100% necessary, but it’s a nice feature. I’ll keep my magnetic iPad mounts installed for longer drives, much appreciated, also planning on using your focus feature template
Somebody shared an idea for this one, check the comments. And thank you very much! 🙌🏼
Had this in my watch later since the last 6 7 months. I have no regrets watching it now. Loved the idea man. Really inspired by the thought and hopefully I can come up with another solution for Indian car Drivers and Indian cars.
@@adityaaurodipta Thank you so very much for a feedback like this, I am glad you like it and trying to find solution for your homies in your country. This is the reason why I keep continue in this UA-cam channel. Thank you.🙏🏼✨
I had this idea in mind of using ipad mini but never knew how to execute it.. you nailed it man with iPad pro (even better)... The Efforts to create the magnetic holder and shortcuts is commendable - perfect execution ....💪🏼.... Subscribed
Wow, this is a compliment, thank you, apreciate it so much. 🙌 Maybe now you will with your iPad mini! ✨... and there will be much more videos soon. 🔜
I wouldn't use a mini i would think its good idea but realized you can get 256 gb's of space on those. go with 11 inch ipad pro 2 tb's than you can save movies on it and songs.
I had never once thought of getting an iPad with cellular before watching this video. I drive a 2019 Toyota with CarPlay, but screen is too small, fixed in its place, & requires me to look away from front view to see it. To be able to use a 12.9 iPad Pro would be a big improvement. Apple needs to take note of your great concept.
Thank you for a wondeful comment and for sharing, thank you. 🙏🏼 Try it and let me know then! ✨
This is amazing!! It even looks like a Tesla screen. I’m sure many people will implement this on their cars. Personally my iPhone 14 Pro with MagSafe stand from bulking is working fine for me.
For sure, but I love the multi app view and even Stage Manager on this one. 🤙🏼
The Video is absolutely great, like I had no idea you only have 20k Subs because this is really well made
thank sou so very much, appreciate it.✌🏼 I actually had 1k subs befor this video. 🙈 New videos are on the way because of this feedback, thanks! ✨
yo dude, this is what i call a QUALITY VIDEO, the editing and the details 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you very much for this kind feedback. 👏✨
Amazing video! Thanks for your work. One suggestion, in the beginning of the video, the music was a bit loud comparing to the voice, apart of that, really nice 👌🏼
I could most definitely see this coming into the production market of vehicles . Being able to just put an iPad into any modern car’s dashboard is really convenient and easy solution instead of developing a screen that supports AirPlay which can be slow and instead use a more easily usable and faster device just like nothing. The only thing I’d want more out of this idea is the ability to charge magnetically when attached in the car and it automatically syncing to the car when placed on the magnetic holder.
It will never go in to a production vehicle because automakers don't like giving up control of the data they could collect from you using their own built in screens.
@@nickt6581 That will leave it up to us to tear out their infotainment screens and use our iPads, though Apple collects data too.
90° Elbow USB Type C and your golden. Very creative, great job. 👏
Great idea! I am still wondering about smart connector charging. 🤫 Thank you!
Tks for this video. It gave me a good idea and to use strong magnet mounts and built a similar setup in my Mini! Also using your shortcuts with just some slight modifications!
Thanks for sharing, I am glad it inspired you! 🙌🏼✨
A very well made video about a topic that I love.
I had a similar setup a few years ago, just was more simple.
I used a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 inch that mounted onto a Tablet holder that fit into the cars CD slot.
It connected to power and aux directly and I had it mounted vertically.
Then I always had a split screen with maps on top and music on the bottom.
I love that setup, but had to abandon it, as we switched to a car, which was too small to reasonably mount the tablet somewhere.
I’ve been eying the iPad mini for a new attempt, but not having horizontal split screen, would be a downgrade compared to my old solution, but I would have access to the iOS app ecosystem, so it might be worth it.
Thank you so very much, glad you like it and thank you also for sharing your own experience, appreciate it. ✨
This was excellent. I love starting with the requirements, explaining each of the issues and how you approached them. In addition I loved the modern editing with the modern sound effects and clean video. Overall, excellent solution and presentation.
Thank you so much. With this feedback, maybe some other videos will arrive. ✨👏
This is ipad 10?
Great work...❤
So nice to read this, thank you, appreciate it! ✨
I’ve done this too! My current setup is a switch buddy thin case with 2 magnets attached to the back I bought off Amazon. I attach it to 2 magnetic car mounts side by side. Works like a charm 👍🏽
Which magnet did u use ? Thanks
I have the same set up, i used 2 magnets too, works like a charm.
@@joea2875 Any magnet that has the sticky side to it
Nice idea! Wow.
Good implementation. iPad mini would work better for me, but it’s a personal preference. I’ve seen some people completely change their infotainment systems with off-the-shelf tablets with preloaded apps and custom interfaces, but your solution is quick and more user-friendly. Good job!
Amazing, thank you for the feedback!! 🤞🏼🤩
iPad mini with cellular is expensive 😢
@@Jmg831more expensive than regular iPad cellular???
@@89five3five yes
@@89five3fiveyea I know it sounds surprising, however, iPad mini is priced higher than the regular iPad (10th generation) regardless of the model type. iPad mini comes with A15 bionic chip as compared to the A14 bionic provided in iPad 10th gen.
Very nice modification. Did you have any issues with the iPad coming off the magnetic mount when driving on rough roads or hitting bumps?
I need an answer to this.
He has answered all of the questions except you maybe iPad actually comes off or hitting buttons isn’t a great idea
@snayps please help answer this, would appreciate it.
Hope your channel grows ! that’s a fantastic way to explain a complicated solution !
I hope so too, but just the feedback after this video is unbelievable, thanks to people like you, thank you. 🙌
if you do the same with a galaxy tab and connect your phone to the tablet you can passtrough calls as well to the tablet via bt
Great idea, just one minor flow, you might want the connection between iPad and mont to be rigid instead of magnetic. The iPad would fly toward your rear passenger during a rear ended accident, and depending on the angle of the collision, it might fly towards the driver as well.
I totally understand, but why in this case Magsafe holders for iPhone are okay? And thank you for the feedback! 🙌
Great idea! I would love to have this in my car as well. Only problem I am seeing is the position of the iPad obstructs the view of the driver to the passenger side. Not full obstruction but it limits the view somehow.
Lowering it down however may result to restriction of the usage of some dashboard buttons.
It does not actualy, it only seems like because of the camera angle in the video. My view is perfect, really. 🤞🏼✨
Just posted a comment on here if you want to read it its using the scosche magnet and you can easily have full movement of the iPad can lower it or raise it or lay it down where its not in your way hope this helps
This is a brilliant video! I can't stand the cheap plastic infotainment screens that look like they're from the toy aisle at Walmart. I wonder how someone could tear out the infotainment screen in an existing car, such as a Prius or Mazda, have the dash repaired, and then install an iPad? Another idea is you can go to settings and change the color filter on the iPad to B&W only, which would reduce distractions even more.
Thank you for the compliment. ✨ Sure you're right about the plastics. The black and white is of course an option, or you can reduce a white point as well, which will also reduce distraction. Thank you once more. 🙌
@@Snayps Do you know any shop or customizer who knows how to tear out existing infotainment screens, fix the dash, and do the install you did?
This could be a great business idea.
Nice build. I would maybe try to mount it lower to the dash so it does not disturb you that much during driving. Maybe also add a little angle to the mount so it is a little more directed to the driver as he needs the information.
For the video itself i felt like the background music was to loud. It was sometimes hard to understand you or rather i needed to concentrate a little more then usually to understand the voice in the video.
I know it seems from the camera view, but it does not at all really. ✨🙌🏼 Thank you for feedback!
5:25 LINKIN PARK MENTIONED🔥🔥
🤞🏼✨
who's a developer? Someone can turn this into an app!
It's called CarPlay and already exist. Doesn't it ?
This video is so professionally made that it looks like a step by step guide provided by apple itself. Great work!
I am so humble for feedback like this, next video should be even better. Thank you so very much. 🙌
How about iPad mini ?
Can you turn the music up more? /s
The background music is too loud and distracting.
Using the magnetic half of a Folio case was a genius idea. Per your inspiration I did the same thing in my car. I’m loving it. I used an iPad Pro.
Wow, nice to hear! I hope you like it same as I do. 🙌 Thank you. ✨
how about ipad mini
Sure you can use a Mini! A lot of people talk about it in the comments, for my use case the 11" is the perfect solution, also you depend on the iPad you want to use in your personal life. 🙌
reverse camera..360 camera left the chat
Haha
Tesla at home:
People have been doing this for over 10 years which to me, just proves how great of an idea this is
Thank you very much and thanks for sharing. ✌🏼✨
the only down side of this video was the background music . Unnecessary and loud
I believe this is how Steve wanted the iPad to be used. In multiple applications to make life easier.
It is the bike for the mind! 💡🤓
I've been using my ipad for years as my head unit. The state police stopped me for another reason, saw the setup and complimented me. Genius
This sounds crazy, nice job man! 🙈
It is an Excellent idea, we use our 10.5 inch Cellular IPad as a navigation device, which has a bigger screen, etc
Oh right, I tought 13" iPad would be too much. 😁
i don't know i needed it until i have watched this video
And this is a compliment, thank you! ✨🙈
Yoo finally a good tech ytber from czechoslovakia si cavo
Haha, dík!
Awesome hack! You should use a right-angled usb-c cord to make the charging cord look more streamline
Thanks for the tip and for sharing. ✨
I have always been thinking about using an iPad mini for this purpose.
Now it's confirmed to be a good idea😂
Sure it is! Actually a lot of people commented iPad Mini would be better for them! 😅✨
Feature Idea to add - Use ipad cameras simultaneously as dashcam for internal and external loop recording - you need to build an app for that but it would be awesome! you can even integrate all these shortcuts into that one app and make it as a product.
Increíble presentación y producción del video, muy profesional e intuitivo para todos que somos amantes del ecosistema de Apple. Gracias desde Colombia!!
Thank you, from Czechia! ✨ Appreciate your comment. 🙌
This is a sick alternative for folks with no carplay or android auto!
Thanks dude! 🙌
I've been using an iPad mini as a GPS going on 12 years - Love it👍
Great idea, my only gripe with this is that there's no way to integrate a backup camera into this setup, or at least no way that I can think of.
Hi there, thank you. youre right this is hard stuff.I used sensors only solution.
Great idea! Thanks!❤
@@dainarts my pleasure. ☺️
Super clean and professional edit and your iPad/car setup has no exception
So professional that it seems like having a car info system from Apple
Much appreciated! Thank you my friend. ✨🙌🏼
Been doing this with a Samsung tablet in DEX mode as it allows you to have multiple windows and re-size them as you see fit. I typically have Waze & Spotify or Google maps and a Music player side by side.
Nice! I am using Stage Manager a lot now as well, which is similar feature. 🙏
well done man
Thank you. 🙏🏼
WTH! The editing was so on point, pls teach me !!!
Amazing editing and animations were so smooth, loved them
What a compliment, it means a lot, thank you! ✨🙌🏼
iPad is much better than most of car information system display!
Correct, approved! ✨
