I'm just gonna use Bluetooth. Not sure that I wanna keep my ipad in the truck full time.

 

It uses your ip addressto get a general location. Mywi doesn't send your location from iPhone to ipad... Gotta have a 3G/4G model.
If I'm correct, the GPS module is built in to the cellular radio.

 

Mine was a 3G model. I thought they all had the GPS ant in them.

 

Ya I made the mistake of not knowing the wifi model did not have GPS. Now I have 2 iPads one 3G one wifi..

 

Yeah, I bought a Slate BlackiPad mini LTE for an additional $130... :/

 

Anyone know of an app to start the music automatically when the truck turns on?

 

Accidentally unsubscribe. Getting back in here.

 

Most applications that are playing music when you lock/sleep (or force lock/sleep when the USB power goes off using activator) should resume playing when you unlock (or auto-unlock using activator).

 

really? activator doesnt start it up again by itself.. it does stop it though. maybe its the podcar+activator that is causing th problem?

 

Are you connecting with bluetooth or USB?
With a USB connection, activator restarts my pandora or local music files right where it left off when I restart the car (on the 911).

In the F150, I'm using bluetooth 2, with bluetooth 1 (primary device) being my iphone. Sync is dumb and a pita to switch to bluetooth two, and haven't tried using activator to restart music, because sync itself is too stupid to go back to the same bluetooth stream it had before it was shut off.

Every time I switch off, sync defaults back to aux input (the 3.5mm jack), and the source button doesn't cycle through bluetooth selections. The only way to get back to bluetooth 2 is hitting menu button a bunch of times, then scrolling to system settings, then scrolling to bluetooth devices, then scrolling to connect bluetooth device, then scrolling to my ipad device (not the default).

I keep meaning to try setting my ipad to primary and iphone to second, but then I don't think my iphone will interrupt when a call comes in.
