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.

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.

WHAT? I CANT HEAR YOU

[@skyak4493]

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.

[@kbhasi]

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!

[@kslaks]

Tip - set your automation to run when your iPad connects to your car Bluetooth so you don’t need to activate it each time unless of course you wish to. Great video, I’ve always wanted to do this for my X5 since having a Tesla but was worried about iPad Pro dropping and breaking. I’ve now got 2 mag mounts in the air vent to hold it firmly in place. 😅

Means I can place my iPad on the magnetic case and then just push the charger into it, really convenient and no visible cables.

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.

@@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.

[@jondurand12]

Mine is kinda laggy when I share mine, Amy tips for fixing this?

[@hluohalifax]

I do not think this is true for either iphone or android tethering. GPS data will not be transferred via tethering.

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.

[@wassimkr4510]

Why is having your iPhone 15 Pro max (approx 7 inch) legal but having an iPad mini (approx 8 inch) illegal? 🤔

[@snooopy39]

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...

[@enterprisecreations1492]

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?

[@yitzele]

It's not illegal

[@kaitlyn__L]

@@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!

[@TheMatze2304]

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.

[@Snayps]

I know it seems from the camera view, but it does not at all really. ✨🙌🏼 Thank you for feedback!

[@deluxe1886]

Amazing editing and animations were so smooth, loved them

[@Snayps]

What a compliment, it means a lot, thank you! ✨🙌🏼

90° Elbow USB Type C and your golden. Very creative, great job. 👏

[@Snayps]

Great idea! I am still wondering about smart connector charging. 🤫 Thank you!

[@funxify7848]

I think it's possible that you could do an automation in the shortcuts app that puts on the focus mode when the ipad connects to your car's bluetooth, would be a great addition and would make it even more convenient.

[@Snayps]

Possible, but it will always ask in the shortcut notification ( cant be turn off if the trigger is bluetooth) and that was annoying

[@funxify7848]

@@Snayps ahhh well then it‘s pretty much useless, great solution in general tho

[@chrluc]

I wonder if NFC can be used. Do iPads read NFC chips?

[@funxify7848]

@@chrluc i think ipads don‘t have an nfc chip but would‘ve been cool to see since apple uses nfc for animations on their magsafe products

[@ricky0591]

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.

[@Snayps]

I totally understand, but why in this case Magsafe holders for iPhone are okay? And thank you for the feedback! 🙌

[@mikey1836]

Two lols: 1. I “just” 3d printed it 😂 (that’s a compliment, you’re amazing) 2. Your driving is your responsibility (love this at the end)

[@Snayps]

Haha this seems so funny now. 😅😅 Thank you so much for compliments! ✨✌🏼

[@lifehackcoach4746]

I love this innovation. I support!

[@JoshuaVarghese]

Great stuff! You might have thought of it already, but the Magic Keyboard for iPad is capable of charging the iPad through the magnetic pins on the back. This means that power transfer is possible through those pins. If you ever upgrade, you might consider making your own back mount that utilized the pins on the back of the iPad to charge

[@Snayps]

Amazing idea, but expensive. Maybe next time? 😅✨

[@claystewart4584]

🔥definitely superior to anything else on a car. And equal or better than Tesla. The fact it easily detaches to be an iPad is a cherry on top. I gotta dig into your content more but I need more tutorials that show me how to fully automate common workflows like this on devices.

[@Snayps]

My true content is on the way. 🤫 Thank you so much for the feedback! ✨🤙🏼

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! ✨

[@almershingjini6581]

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.

[@Snayps]

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. 🤝

[@maistomedia]

Genuinely curious- how do you go about using your iPad as a GPS? Don't you need to be connected to wifi?

[@Snayps]

The cellular iPad has a GPS module, but you can use a phone hotspot or use offline maps if you want.

[@idavew]

Only problem I currently have with this setup is that what happens if you crash or get hit by someone. That tablet can take you or anyone else in the car out if something deadstops you in your tracks if your going fast enough that the magnetic strength just isn’t holding it anymore. You could try a RAM mount that will fix the problem, and can provide charging in some models.

[@Snayps]

It is true, but anyones iPhone will do the same thing. 🤞🏼

[@idavew]

@@Snayps mobiles been mounted on dashboards since the 90s and I’ve never heard of one killing a person. Loose objects or big objects like tablets I would secure those better then just a plain desk magnet. RAM is a company that delivery company’s use to secure those tablets for their drivers and those really don’t go flying. Police cruisers have their laptops and other bigger items ankered for a reason. Which isn’t just theft prevention

[@birtalanlorant5572]

Your smallest issue is the tablet flying imo, if you hit lets say a concrete wall at 62mph (100km/h), so regular out of town speeds.
