the iPad will be mounted permanently with the option of removing it really easily. music is tru iTunes with all my library plus pandora. also fm radio thru I heart radio app. wifi is always supplied by clear and it's portable hotspot. movies, videos, YouTube, apps, obd2 connection thru Bluetooth adapter plug for engine management apps, gopro remote app for my go pro hero 2, plus porn in the car! lol! the iPad charges thru the car and stop charging while the key s removed. since the iPad is recessed 1/4" the bezel will make it look like it came with the car... I will paint the AC and PSM switch panel in black to match everything...
The iPad mini will connect and charge thru the original PCM wire loom. music will play thru the car's stereo. I didn't have navigation on my PCM so this upgrades worth something to me. with the use of a wireless obd2 compatible plug and will transfer a lot of info to the "torque" app. I can set wireless cameras that connect to the iPad either via Bluetooth or wifi and use them as backup cameras and upfront too... all iPad functions remain. in regards of the PCM functionality, my car for some reason didn't have any enabled. no chrono control and not any user programmable settings. like I said, I used the PCM for music only and to see a full color screen render black, orange and white! I finally got to work on the bezel last night. pretty tight! I like it so far....
harness from euromotorsports  GT2RS radio elimination shelf custom fabricated to a bezel:   This is where I'm right now. Sounds plays thru the car. Waiting for the iStream and the belking bluetooth. Hooked up with a guy to make ma a custom 90 degree lightning cable... finished up the bezel and fits like a glove. Love the way the iPad is recessed into the bezel. totally factory looking. Still to do: finalizing the cabling, adding everything else and paint the center panels black and the anti glare screen protection in matte finish. This thing rocks!
