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?

[@SRGTear]

Link for mount?

[@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!

[@richardlowrey6394]

I use my iPad with cellular. Even though I don't have cellular activativated, it still uses GPS.

[@tomasso883]

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

[@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.

[@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?

[@moeh4491]

Thanks for the clip. found it helpful. I was searching for a similar idea for my CX5.

[@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Because it sucks and it’s outdated, duh.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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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

Apps2Car CD Player Holder Phone/Tablet Mount

[@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]

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.

[@TobiasLA]

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

[@The1Music2MyEars]

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

[@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. 😬😬

[@jjreyes2017]

Bro imma buy an iPad Pro and mount it underneath my 8” infotainment screen from my new 25 Chevy trax lol this is an amazing idea to watch movies on the go plus my car has built in WiFi all ready

[@genifaamith4898]

What about the A/C bro?? 😂🤷

[@Iraqvet]

iPad won’t ever over heat 😂

[@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!

[@trionteprince980]

Change the display awake setting

@@trionteprince980 Thank YOU!!!

[@cosmicluna7239]

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

[@C3dr1ic]

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

[@TheCurbsidePodcast]

Hahah this is already more views than we expected 😳

[@nnamdieneanya2317]

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

[@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 🤣

[@VloggingwitJG]

Where u get the magnet plate from

[@hanoodi]

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

[@TheMadTube]

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

[@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

[@YourfavoritesalesG]

Very good job guys !

[@robinmiller986]

I meant to say my Toyota RAV4 2021 has at the CarPlay in it

[@nikollasp.pedrozo1572]

Nice idea bro! Thanka for sharing

[@DJJumpdancer]

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

[@12luv365]

good job guys!!

[@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.

[@Khaiman111]

How are you seated at the end?

[@damienblack3146]

great idea

[@owlmain]

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

[@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

[@robinmiller986]

Will it work in my Toyota RAV 4 2021 it has all rady car play but i want to use my iPad for Apple CarPlay and how can I mirror it from Apple CarPlay

[@FloeticEnigma]

IPad isn't compatible with Airplay. I bought a phone/tablet mount on Amazon, stuck it on the windshield, and popped my ipad air 11" or ipad mini in it. The 11" is the perfect size, the 12.9" pro I used to have was too big. For some reason, Microsoft Teams on my iPhone causes my entire Car touchscreen to reboot if I try to take a call, so if I'm driving to the office and have a meeting or call I need to take from the car, I use my iPad instead. I can split screen and have GoogleMaps on one side and Teams on the other.

[@chrisdlp2287]

How does the wifi work?

[@bakangsbakho8852]

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

[@prophetrk2959]

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

Gen3 ipad?

[@dcarter52]

You need to turn the iPad into CarPlay

[@dronefilmsgermany]

Do you have such a mount for a bmw 1 series

[@ypm7369]

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

[@STUNNERYT]

Not everybody has a random slot in their car

How to turn on ipad when open car or turn off ipad when leave car. Can i leave ipad on the car?

[@Richiedamenace]

Hell no, never leave your iPad in the car.

Fantastic. Thank you 😊

[@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.

[@sophalkin5528]

Where do you get Wi-Fi from?

[@Richiedamenace]

You can add a cellular plan for your iPad, or you can hotspot a connection from your phone.

Can u make me one for my 2020 Dodge Challenger

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.

is more easy if you buy a tesla

[@sarremoo123]

Haha

[@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.

Or buy a Tesla ?? Ehehehe
