Holders for iPad, iPad Air, iPad mini for the car with mounting in the CD slot, on the dashboard, on the headrest. Car mount for iPad mini Installing iPad in car

Probably each of you has at least once caught yourself thinking about why Apple still doesn’t release its multimedia systems or operating systems?

Of course, this would be especially appreciated by lovers of a bitten apple, since they know that the strength of Apple products is not at all in many gigabytes of memory, but precisely in the quality of optimization.

And as always, our friends from the Middle Kingdom have already managed to take care of this and rolled out a ready-made factory solution.
Of course installation attempts Apple tablets already existed, judging by the forums, but it was of a custom nature, bordering on outright collective farm, since putting a tablet in a car is half the battle, but making it work as a radio is already more difficult and you can’t do it without special equipment and software!

The Chinese brothers made a solution based on the principle of a docking station in which a tablet is installed iPad mini any generation, which turns into a multimedia center for your car.

The main advantages of installing an iPad instead of a head unit:

  • High quality and reliability of the product;
  • No need to buy head device if your family already has an iPad;
  • Used iPad mini can be bought on the secondary market from 6,000 rubles;
  • An interface familiar to you if you are a user of Apple products;
  • A device that has no analogues;
  • A huge selection of applications for every taste;
  • Easy installation in a regular place instead of the factory control unit;
  • The iPad will not cease to be your tablet and at any time you can easily take it out and use it as before;
  • Unlike CarPlay and Android Auto you have access to a full arsenal of applications for iOS;
  • You can easily take it with you to prevent thieves from stealing it from your car.

At the moment, there are factory models for almost all models and brands of cars.

There are 2 models available to choose from based on the connection principle:


1) Budget option.


The device is a standard frame with an installed slide, which will accommodate an iPad mini or iPad Air and cover the installed standard radio, that is, dismantling the old radio is not required.

This kit includes:

  • Standard radio frame with slides and lightning connector;
  • Amplifier and hardware responsible for sound with TDA 7851L chip;
  • Standard wiring braid for Pin to Pin connection;
  • External microphone;
  • Data cable.


The main convenience of this model is that you do not remove the standard radio, but simply place the tablet on top of it, and when leaving the car, you can simply take the tablet with you, leaving the standard appearance of the car panel, for example, with a simple RCD 310.

Supported car models: Volkswagen Polo, Jetta 5, Jetta 6, Golf 5, Golf 6, Golf 7, Scirocco, Passat B 6, B 7, CC, Touran, Tiguan, Touareg, Sharan, Caddilac CTS, Caddilac ATS, Nissan Qasqai, Jeep Compas, Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Gramd Cherokee, Ford Focus 2, Focus 3, Mondeo, Infiniti QX 50, Crysler 300C, Honda Civic, Honda Accord, Smart ForTwo.





















2) Top option

















The design is fundamentally different, since in this case it is, so to speak, a radio tape recorder without a screen, which is inserted instead of your standard one, with a Pin to Pin connection into the car’s original wiring. On the front panel there are physical buttons for controlling basic functions, which have a standard backlight to match the standard one. The iPad itself is inserted into this radio as if it were a docking station and does not visually evoke the feeling of a third-party device, as in the first case.

This kit includes:

  • Radio-dock station;
  • A braid of wires for connecting to standard systems;
  • CAN module for coordination with standard device protocols;
  • A software module that provides a car interface on the screen of your iPad;
  • Rear view camera module.




Supported car models:

Skoda Octavia A5, Octavia A7, Volkswagen Golf7, Passat B6, B7, CC, Touran, Ford Focus 2, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Highlander, Toyota Camry, Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, Rav4, Yaris, Nissan X-trail, Tiida, Qashqai, Mitsubishi Lancer X, Honda Fit, Civic, Accord.

As we can see, everything in this kit brings your iPad as close as possible to a full-fledged radio, which of course you cannot do yourself with a custom installation in the garage or at home. This is a full-fledged factory product, on the development of which a lot of effort, time and money were spent.

In this option, the standard GU is replaced with a docking station into which you can insert your iPad and it looks more organic.

The tablet can also be easily taken out if necessary.
Would you set yourself such a decision?
In essence, you get a proven GU that will not let you down, unlike Android and Windows solutions of dubious quality, especially those bought cheaply.
The top full-fledged option is of course not so cheap, but if you add up its cost + iPad, even if you buy used or new... the budget will be 35-40 thousand and for this money you will get a first-class, reliable PG from the global Apple brand.

Installing an iPad mini in a car

Some enthusiasts simply cannot live without a computer and therefore, wherever they go, they either take it with them laptop or, if they often spend time in this place, then they put it there additional computer and the car is no exception.

It seems to many computer enthusiasts that standard multimedia systems for cars from well-known brands (such as Alpine, Clarion or Pioneer) are very limited in their functionality and at the same time unreasonably expensive - in principle, that’s the way it is :) that’s why such a direction as Car PC appeared - installation of computers in cars. By installing a computer in a car, you can kill a whole herd of hares in one shot :) On a computer installed in a car, you can store a huge collection of audio and video materials, browse the Internet, check for traffic jams (using special services) and choose the optimal route using digital maps, in general you will have access to all the functionality of a standard PC, and in some cases more. However, installing a computer in a car comes with some challenges, such as connecting to power, routing cables, installing a screen, choosing the best computer control tool, and so on. It’s not that it’s too difficult, but it will take a fair amount of tinkering.

In some cases, you can seriously reduce the amount of hassle by using tablet computer Apple iPad as a car computer. The functionality and technical characteristics of the Apple iPad are quite suitable: high quality touchscreen at 9.7″, which is large enough to be convenient, but at the same time it can be comfortably placed even in a compact car, and the presence of factory touch controls completely removes the problem with the convenience of computer control. The high-quality matrix (S-IPS) in the iPad display eliminates the problem with viewing angles that often arises when using displays with other types of matrixes in cars.

WITH Apple connection iPad to car network is also no problem - just buy an adapter for charging from the car, and low power consumption and the presence of a capacious battery will allow you to avoid draining the car’s battery again. The solid-state drive (SSD) installed in the iPad is not afraid of car shakes and vibrations and, although it does not have a very large capacity (up to 64 GB), for many it will be sufficient in volume, and there is an external pocket for hard drive, if you really want, you can connect 😉 Wireless connection(Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 3G) is a vital option for a car computer and is already built into the Apple iPad.

From the point of view of the functions used, everything is in order on the iPad - you can listen to music and watch movies, surf the Internet, check the route using digital maps, navigate using GPS, see the status of traffic jams in the city, i.e. do everything that can be done on a car computer :) The exception is perhaps the calibration of the internal combustion engine and a couple of other unusual things, and even then these issues will probably be resolved in the near future.


One of the points that, as a Hi-Fi fan, you can find fault with is the sound quality - it’s not that it’s bad, but audiophiles won’t appreciate it 🙂 But, “everything can be solved,” thought the specialists of the tuning studio Sound Man Car Audio, taking on the first in the world Apple installation iPad in the car. To get the maximum High Quality sound, they connected the Apple iPad to a specialized transport (Onkyo ND-S1 Digital Media Transport) - a device that can output sound from the Apple iPad/iPod/iPhone to digital form bypassing the standard iPad DAC, and the digital signal was sent to a separate high-quality digital-to-analog converter (DAC) Audison Bit One D/A, which converts the digital signal to analog, after which the resulting conventional analog signal was sent to, again , high-quality 🙂 audio amplifier from McIntosh (not Apple, just the namesake of their computers). So, crystal clear sound of excellent quality will flow from the speakers. By the way, more simple option Integrating an Apple iPad into a car will involve purchasing an inexpensive car radio with a connection to an Apple iPad/iPod/iPhone, and you will get an FM radio for one :)

By the way, specialists from the tuning studio Sound Man Car Audio were not only the first to install an Apple iPad in a car, but also recorded a short video about this process, which we will watch today.

In stores you can find a huge selection of such accessories as an iPad holder. They are not the same type, but differ both in fastening technology and in the method of installing the tablet itself.

Another model of the same series, with the Dash-NT prefix, is simply an ideal option for Air tablets. It is attached to the dashboard thanks to a vacuum suction cup with a layer of silicone. This material guarantees strong adhesion to the plastic and protects the suction cup from air.

The accessory is suitable for all generations of iPad. It is fixed between the paws with rubber pads, which have a bevel and protect against accidental pressing of the buttons.

Next, the desired notch is selected - and everything is ready.
