I use my iPad Pro 12.9” with a single magnetic mount on my dash, and a few Velcro tabs on the bottom just to stabilize it. Been using it for running Uber driver app and Google maps in my Yukon. Works fantastic for over 2 years. It has never fallen off

[@makecodgreatagain6049]

Video?

[@linn10W]

Very innovative. Just a question though- being as though the iPad is sort of covering the vents is the inside taking longer to cool/heat it’s self? Is the ipad cold or hot after a normal commute from work-home? If so..does that damage the ipad or reverse any of the cold/hot air back into the vents?

[@genifaamith4898]

What about the A/C bro?? 😂🤷

[@topdollarmobile7460]

Ive got one mounted in my car. I just used 2 of those magnetic vent mounts and attached those magnets that such mounts come with and stucj them to my case. So you can do it that way as well. Costs under 10 dollars and can be setup in under 10 minutes. Just use 2 of the magnetic car vent mounts.

[@naoh2214]

BRILLIANT!

[@aidanaguanta9662]

You nailed it bro!!!😊

[@klubstompers]

I did something similar, but i used 2 magnetic cell phone vent clips, and put one on each vent, and it is rock solid, and sits perfectly flush with dash. I have a Audi B8.5 Allroad, but center vents are very similar. Have 90 degree USB-C cable for power ran behind the tab threw the vent to power.

[@yuchenlin4147]

wow sounds great!

[@mojjammil]

How's the holding? What's the magnetic clip called?

[@klubstompers]

@@mojjammil Scosche MAGVM2B Holds rock solid, it does not shake, vibrate, move, etc. You want 2 of them.

[@mojjammil]

@@klubstompers thank you so much for the recommendation.

[@TobiasLA]

How you do the connection to internet and phone and maybe a selfinstalled back camera?

[@nikollasp.pedrozo1572]

Nice idea bro! Thanka for sharing

[@hanoodi]

from where you got the "blue case" ?? ??

[@YourfavoritesalesG]

Very good job guys !

[@DJJumpdancer]

does it stay up there if you would have to brake hard or swerve or both ?

[@QeberoFX]

Fantastic. Thank you 😊

[@Khaiman111]

How are you seated at the end?

[@TheMadTube]

At 4:14, you brought up the area where I grew up. Marshall County, WV. Any particular reason?

[@Torsdagskvallsmys]

isnt it easier to just stick three or four smaller magnets onto the pad? the stronger magnets will stick even on lower quality (very thin) magnets.. i think maybe 4 is even to mutch.. anyways, GG bro. nice job! thanks!

[@jfpdc888]

I got my iPad Mini to work in the car, however, it kept going to sleep… not good for driving.. any ideas are welcomed!!! Thank you for this video!

[@dronefilmsgermany]

Do you have such a mount for a bmw 1 series

[@nnamdieneanya2317]

How do you connect the car speakers wire using the iPad ?

[@289cobra9]

I bought the APPS 2 Cars CD phone mount for my Ford Escape. When I want to use my iPad 9.7" in the car I connect to the Bluetooth & turn on the hotspot on my phone and I'm good. Holds my iPad and phone nice and sturdy.

[@carlpeeples7057]

They now have 1st Gen and 2nd Gen, I have 1st to be cheap

[@AlexanderKrebs]

Did that with a 11“ iPad Pro and connected it to an OBD2 Dongle an made some gauges … looked also quite nice

[@patrickrodriguez127]

How do you make gauges ?

[@AlexanderKrebs]

@@patrickrodriguez127 i used an App for that wich directly communicated with OBD2. So I used maps on the right side and on the left side Speed like an tesla screen

[@Drerivera7]

@@AlexanderKrebs what app do you use? Fixd?

[@AlexanderKrebs]

@@Drerivera7 I used OBD Fusion with Maps in split screen mode. Where maps took the biggest space on my 11 inch iPad Pro.

[@Daddy000]

You should post a video on it that sounds amazing tbh

[@kingleo9981]

Damn this was exactly what I was looking for, UNTIL you started talking bout making your own mount. I have that bracket already and I’m trying to find something the iPad mini can attach to using that bracket

[@carlpeeples7057]

Apps2Car CD Player Holder Phone/Tablet Mount

[@damienblack3146]

great idea

[@sophalkin5528]

Where do you get Wi-Fi from?

[@derpybellicgaming_yt658]

Why have a tesla touchscreen when you have got the mazda infotainment system lol

[@dwai1967]

Because Mazda's infotainment system is not great, lol. And I own a CX 9, and a Mazda 6 prior.

[@kingleo9981]

Because it sucks and it’s outdated, duh. Lol

[@Antody]

Because any car system sucks and can't be matched by Android auto/Apple Car.

[@jcpflier6703]

I like this, but the problem I see here is the constant removal and hiding of the ipad whenever parking publicly. No matter the city, Im sure an ipad pro would call attention to your vehicle. 😬😬

[@Zaywuu]

Ok so I have cx-5 and I want to actually do this! I need some more insight, please. I’m prepared to take the risk and do it because this is a genius idea!

[@TheCurbsidePodcast]

We would love to give you more insight, but sadly we don't actually know what a lot of the random parts we used to make this are called :( We will try to leave as many links to things we used in the description soon though! We're hoping we can make a 3D printed version of the bracket eventually hahah

[@Zaywuu]

The Curbside Podcast ok cool. Thank you!

[@chrisdlp2287]

How does the wifi work?

[@cosmicluna7239]

Blocking the ac vent in Arizona? Hell no. Why not mount it where the existing screen is?

[@ari1234.]

Gen3 ipad?

[@justsoblessed]

How do you get the music from your iPad to play through your speakers

[@Ameriflex1]

Get blue tooth rechargeable boom box I am using Ultimate Ears

[@12luv365]

good job guys!!

[@maxxpayne309]

Can u make me one for my 2020 Dodge Challenger

[@tomasso883]

How to block your AC vents, or how to cool your iPad!

[@yyjamal.1]

any tips for keeping the ipad cool in the car

[@danielamaning5765]

Ac on lol

[@sonofkimbo]

that was actually good bro lol

[@jermainebailey3675]

Brilliant

[@skipbanks7557]

Thank you very much. Great 💡 idea. skip

[@alexxander8158]

Great job but the air outlets are blocked and when it's hot and you want to feel cold air in your face... you don't really feel it anymore 😰 Some ideeas? Some holes in ipad? Neah 🤣

[@dezjackson3707]

Which ipad is this does it need WiFi or does your car have wifi

[@ahmadikram8287]

By connecting your personal hotspot by your phone

[@pedroito1244]

neither. It just has an Sim card (like a phone) it has its own LTE signal

[@myp0h]

Get a cheap sum card and shove into your tablet. Or just mobile hotspot it.

[@Zhojito]

How is this not viral yet it blows my mind keep it up 😁

[@TheCurbsidePodcast]

Hahah this is already more views than we expected 😳

[@Roland2581]

Too bad that anywhere north of Texas the Ipad will overheat 6 months out of the year because there is two vents blasting heat onto it. Love the idea though.

[@annlue1]

Automatic climate control in every car I’ve owned defaults to feet. My car never blows, hot air through top vans, but in the summertime blows cold air from top Vents

[@ypm7369]

Using the smart folio to hold the iPad is a very bad idea.

[@marceloarnez1491]

He would've appreciated it more if he had made it himself. It looked like you did all the work for him and he was just fine with it. Obviously your project, so he had not much stake or involvement and it showed in his face. You looked excited though because it was your creation.

[@liammechalchuk8378]

You don’t have peripheral vision. Do you really think you need an iPad in your car?

[@alsa4real]

Doug demuro?

[@beckydayedgar1764]

I like it. I like that one of this.....

[@prophetrk2959]

If u have the heater on it’s heat up your iPad and possibly fuck it up

[@The1Music2MyEars]

Requirements: own 2 cellphone plans to yourself. AKA cellular version of iPad for this to work.

[@owlmain]

You'd better using the Shortcuts for Car Mode, it will be better

[@RicTone]

Nice

[@luqman2626]

And u blocked the A/C

[@maxxpayne309]

Does the magnetic field mess with the iPad screen

[@christechguy]

I would doubt it considering the fact the iPad has magnets in it already.

[@dcarter52]

You need to turn the iPad into CarPlay

[@bgpapasam]

NICE

[@bakangsbakho8852]

Drive over a pothole ... ***Ipad left the chat

[@1961Marat]

a road bump will throw it off on your face

[@STUNNERYT]

Not everybody has a random slot in their car

This what i need too doo

[@potatoes8169]

How do i turn my tesla into a car?

[@Smile.911]

If you turn a car into a tesla by adding a ipad screen, to turn your tesla into a car just remove the ipad screen.

[@danielamaning5765]

Tale a car and put it behind telsa boom there you go

[@CarsSupercars]

Why stopped making Videos? Change all your old thumbnails to make it work.

Alternate title: "How to mount an iPad in your car and make your hazard lights unreachable"

[@mAUoalajkso]

It’s not blocked. It’s just out of sight. All you gotta do is slide your hand right under the mount 🤦‍♂️

[@box4aza]

How often do you use the hazard lights?

[@ParodieHecker-mobile]

@@box4aza Well, obviously not as much as the turn indicators, but still not entirely uncommon. For instance, if I'm approaching the end of a traffic jam, I promptly activate the hazard lights. That's essentially a routine whenever I commute to work.

[@box4aza]

@@ParodieHecker-mobile I agree with you. This is the legit use case.

[@filthysoap96]

@@ParodieHecker-mobile​​⁠why would you turn it on? Everyone behind you will see there’s a jam and your brake lights lit on. If the jam clears up or you move ahead and don’t turn off the hazard lights it becomes more difficult to see if you’re breaking or not.

[@sarremoo123]

Haha

[@johnnyredcornn4510]

Legit

[@rudolfbartic]

is more easy if you buy a tesla

[@jaceyumiko9801]

Or buy a Tesla ?? Ehehehe

[@RB-jt1zo]

Damn useless A/C vents Next project... How to relocate the vents NOTE: CD Slot was a much better location for this DIY mount🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

I love this! Have a wonderful day and may God bless you. Jesus Christ loves you - He always has, does, and always will, no matter what! You're priceless and you matter! Please stay safe and healthy! ^_^

[@Pinkielover]

Tesla equals crap

[@blakerslove7716]

This is ridiculous

[@SummerSausage1]

Lmao there's no way the ipad would stay on that folio case over a few bumps. Why didn't you just buy an Otter case and superglue magnets to the back of it? Lmao this is so poorly conceived of.
