So for trucks with out Bluetooth or sync this conversion is for cool factor and running gps? I have satellite radio so probably wouldn't use the Iitunes much, dont get me wrong it does look cool aaaaaand looks cheaper than getting a double din replacement with touchscreen and nav...

Thank you for the feedback. Ironically, I previously owned a 2007 f150 that I installed a Nexus 7 into the dash. I cut a double din aftermarket dash kit to slide the tablet into. It fit into the dash perfectly without customizing the actual dash at all. I used a Bluetooth aux adapter to plug into the aux port on the truck and then connected the tablet via Bluetooth. That way I only had to worry about power connecting to the table, which I also ran off the fuse box. I also installed an app called automate that allowed me to set the tablet to go into sleep mode when the tablet was disconnected from Bluetooth which was powered by the ignition. This was a good setup, but I traded my 07 in for a 2011 and hear that an iPad is an even better alternative. The problem is the iPad mini requires customization of the dash and my truck has the dvd and nav in the dash. So I'm trying to figure out the best dash setup.
My son has my old 2007, I think this is something he would love, do you have any pictures of the radio after it was reinstalled facing up?
Thanks!

Hey guys for some reason I stopped getting notifications about this thread and local business really ramped up on these so I haven't been on here much. If you would like to order one you can do so now from the link I will supply at the end of the post. Now I'm only painting them flat black, or primed for $25 less. I'm also providing the dash now instead of you sending me yours. Charger not included. Please allow up to 2 weeks for delivery as I am building a lot of these now! Model years 09-14 only for right now. 15-17 soon! Make sure you include the iPad Mini model and your truck Model Year. PM if you have questions. Thanks guys.

I have the same setup and want to order one as well, I'm hoping that I can still use the Sirius, climate control/seats and hands free, but I can live without hands free, for the better setup. I've read enough to know, or I think that you need to send in your front dash piece, if that's the case I will order a new one to have modified. I sent a email, but as of yet have not heard back.
