hey so i install too, i like the idea of using a head unit for amplifing but i have a better idea. kicker makes a tiny two channel and you could bridge both side (no fader). why would you still need to radio if all you want is itunes and internet radio music?
Totally insane awesome Doug your iPad float mount kits are really great and starting to take off blowing up the car audio community by storm. Rafa that Honda looks tight and very clean then again you are the man that knows Honda's :)
2007 Honda Civic I want this MOD but I just don't like how the iPad is laying back in the dash board it would be nice if it gave the driver a better view because I use it for navigations too. I currently have it with a mount sitting in the CD insert, Since I don't use CDs lol. I would like for you guys to do something like that for me
+andres p Agreed! Im sure they, or yourself, could make a mount that has the bottom recessed a few inches to give a better angle! all depends on how much room is back there - That would look great
I've always enjoyed watching Soundman, but other than the higher class making 50-60k+ a year, who would pay 250$ for just a slide slider kit? You still have to cut up and do all the work yourself. You can buy an awesome double din pioneer dvd player and all the kits you need for 250-300$. One of my cars stereo is a 3100avh pioneer head unit, 15" kicker cvx, 2 polk db6501s, 2 jvc woofers for 60-350hz accuracy, a rockford 1000.1x1d for the sub, and a mb quart 80.4 for everything else. This entire system ran me 1100$. JUST to install an ipad dash kit, would run you at least 500$ by itself.
Bryan Willis you make a very valid point. why not just mount a smartphone to the dash with one of those easy mount things that cost like 20 dollars... same functionality without having to deal with apple if you dont want to.. which i dont. nice setup man.
I think the big display is what people are going for. And it does get costly but depending on what you want. Im stuck between gettin a pioneer 8100nex or a ipad install. The ipad would be a cheaper route for me at this point. Crazy i know
I understand. No offense taken. But i was going off people making valid points about price. I put my 2 pennies in to state that what im considering and that one of these installs are not that bad price considering the craftsmanship. That this will be cheaper than some higher end indash units such as alpine kenwood and pioneer
Doug, I love the show and have been a subscriber since back in the early days when you guys would do your "Answering customer questions" shows with Spoon (!) in the background, struggling through the emails. Any way, I have a couple questions of my own for you. How much sound quality are you sacrificing pairing over Bluetooth vs hard wiring? Is the 4.0 Bluetooth protocol any better than previous versions as far as sound quality? Lastly, can you counteract whatever signal degradation you do get by processing or EQing? Thanks for your time. ChrisV213 Phoenix AZ
how do you deal with the heat? i install my ipad mini in my toyota hilux, at 4 or 5pm i use my truck, the ipad won't turn on because the thermal protect. Any advice ?
My 99 Ford Expedition Mach System is horrific, I will buy one of those iPad installs and do it myself but I would screw it up. I want to put a system in and having this in would be badass.
John Redcorn It's decent but when you put it up, the front door and back door speakers gets distorted. I plan on upgrading them, and eventually add a amp and possibly 2 12's in the back. Since it's open cab on the inside it should sound great.
Angel C Now that I remember, you are right. The front speakers would distort a lot and I ended up changing them for some jbl 6x8's. It's been like 10 years so I don't remember all the details. I used to love that truck though, still regret getting rid of it.
John Redcorn Haha, dude this truck is amazing, aside from the v8 drinking up quite often. But the mods that can be done on this truck is endless in my eyes. LOL, everyday I am thinking of something to try or get done when the time is right. Might want to purchase the new 2014 Expo, sick looking and so much better, actually has sport side on it by a flick of a switch. Maybe one day I will own a much up to date truck. LOL.
Idk, but I always liked that generation of expos, they're short and small, real easy to park and to make u turns, I wanted to lift it, but I got rid of it to get an f-250 so I could use it for work, it's a real bitch to park sometimes and it's way too heavy. It's been reliable too though, but not much space for a system.
this is what i wanted to do in my car for sooooo long and i went to all kinds of shops and they said they wouldnt do it for me, by putting a head unit in the dash behind the tablet so said screw it
Shiet.. I gladly support Mark's channel since I actually learn somethin there. All I learned from you this week is.... you guys make ipad dashes! (Just like every week)
I love these, it's just in my opinion it's stupid to do a permanent install when there's a new one every few months. This isn't just for Apple, it's for everyone. I've seen kits to put android phones and tablets into the factory double dins that just click into place, no permanent install
Very serious about getting this done kinda need to know a price they charge about $20 for the dash bezel at the wrecking yard I would pay you for your time of course . I have a 95 Ford Explorer 4x4 4 door 4 liter ohv engine. I believe all 4×4's use the same dash bezel It can have the button for the rear window wiper/washer or not. Fog lights rear window defogger also not needed as this is a Demo vehicle/ iasca...usaci.....NW spl. (Need the 4x4 switch)!!! ,,,only is fine!!!! Plenty of information lol?!!! (I was just wondering if you had a wrecking yard close that you could just go get one and build me an iPad - with it)? , Mine has fallen apart and cracked from flexx! Im on the 2nd one now. And if you need to move the 4×4 switch that's fine also relocate it on the dash bezel somewhere else because of size whatever it takes! I have the 1st generation iPad Doug. lol.. Let me know when/if you can help me out?! Doug ;) and Rafa;) Thanks Happy turkey day to you and your family's! Nice to see RAFA back!!! BassHead Brother #AINTLOUD #SUBLIFE ¥!

What size ipad is that in the civic?
Be sure to thank Rafa for the overspray on the Mule. My word. 1:10
Was that Paige Hathaway's Mercedes-Benz? (2:03)

Have u ever done a ipad dash kit for a vx Holden commodore it is a Australia car or do I just have to custom fit it to my dash myseft

How much does a iPad install for 2010 Yukon cost?
I've always enjoyed watching Soundman, but other than the higher class making 50-60k+ a year, who would pay 250$ for just a slide slider kit? You still have to cut up and do all the work yourself.

Agreed and imo if you have the skills to modify your dash then you have the skills to make your own ipad slider or float kit.
I think the big display is what people are going for. And it does get costly but depending on what you want. Im stuck between gettin a pioneer 8100nex or a ipad install. The ipad would be a cheaper route for me at this point. Crazy i know
Daniel Martin Why does it matter what people are going for? Just get what you like.
I do not mean this in a bad way, just so you know.

where can i get an ipad dash here in Dallas Tx??
Can the ipad be left in the vehicle or do you have to keep taking it out? Its useless if you have to take it out everytime you exit the vehicle
how do you deal with the heat? i install my ipad mini in my toyota hilux, at 4 or 5pm i use my truck, the ipad won't turn on because the thermal protect. Any advice ?
Take it out? Glovebox lol?
+Simon G the idea is not to take it out.
Hey Rafa what is the paint you guys used for the civic dash?
Can you show it on a 2012 passat vw or any recent passat?
Do you make for Honda 98? Most old car need it.
do you have a dash mount for an ipad in a 323i 2000
Awesome!2007 Honda Civic Si sedanThis is exactly what I have been looking for!
2008 Cadillac CTS haven't seen any custom dash for it and they r all really complicated
Kia forte (malaysia) can use or not?
Hey you guys should try printing out and entire dash piece with the ipad kit on it already. That would be sick.
Yes! The back of my head came out for a split second at the SEMA seminar!
My 99 Ford Expedition Mach System is horrific, I will buy one of those iPad installs and do it myself but I would screw it up. I want to put a system in and having this in would be badass.
I used to have a truck like that, the mach system wasn't so bad. I swapped the little sub and added a better amp though.
John Redcorn It's decent but when you put it up, the front door and back door speakers gets distorted. I plan on upgrading them, and eventually add a amp and possibly 2 12's in the back. Since it's open cab on the inside it should sound great.

where can i get one honda civic si 2007
this is what i wanted to do in my car for sooooo long and i went to all kinds of shops and they said they wouldnt do it for me, by putting a head unit in the dash behind the tablet so said screw it
yay
Good and cheap idea about just using a bt headunit and hiding it
It would be nice if you could do tabs also. Just a idea
We need a 8th gen Honda Accord no nav iPad dash kit thingy. I'm blazed
How would you but a iPad in a 98 Honda Civic Ex
dat ipad dash for the c6 its awesome!!
i want 1 like that for my c5
Shiet.. I gladly support Mark's channel since I actually learn somethin there. All I learned from you this week is.... you guys make ipad dashes! (Just like every week)
Mark's channel?...what channel is that?
JD Downes CarAudioFabrication
Ahhh....thank u.
The new 2016 Honda Accord needs attention there is another (must plug) there that can't been ignored.
Rafa showing off them guns mang. Haha, trying to get at those girls.
Wireless charging sure would come in handy
be pointless considering how long it would take to charge via wireless.
considering it takes a mobile phone 2 hours to charge. i dont think your ipad would get charged if your only driving say 10 mins to work
+wax333 you can use a 2.1 amp charger, have one on a nexus7 in a TL, charges no problem
nexus 7 still running strong, charge has not dropped below 90% in 3 years
too bad Bluetooth aint fast enough yet for video steaming the latency way too high still i recommend a wired connection better .
Bad ass install
That's right hope you're going to get me a sticker Doug
I love these, it's just in my opinion it's stupid to do a permanent install when there's a new one every few months. This isn't just for Apple, it's for everyone. I've seen kits to put android phones and tablets into the factory double dins that just click into place, no permanent install
Rafa a trip , remove the remote sensor alway from the front of the radio conect 3 wires and place the sensor anywhere you like in the dashboard like
You guys are fucking clever. That install is amazing!
love the new intro
