I also started this mod a while ago....and I haven't looked at this thread at all until today, so I'm not copying you or anything. I was planning on building the kits for people, but if you're doing it I don't want to steal your business. Do you think you could do a writeup on the basic construction for it? Thanks dude. I'm intrigued by the top slide theory. I have iTunes match and iCloud but having it removable would make my $700 iPad purchase a little more easy to swallow.

I want you to know that I also started this mod a while ago....and I haven't looked at this thread at all until today, so I'm not copying you or anything.

I got the basic idea....I thought about either having a piece of ready-rod or ABS on the home button, running it up to the surface, covering it with a piece of vinyl, then bondo over it so all you'd have to do it push that area of the dash and it would press the home button. That, or use the assistive touch control thing on the home screen to save some effort in the fab process, although it takes a couple extra steps to get to the home button that way. I'm torn between those two options. I don't want the home button on the surface of the dash like soundman though. Waiting for some more glue and another dash piece. My air recip saw slipped and cut the outside edge of the first dash piece haha.
I too hate the side slider, too bulky.
Did you have to unscrew the factory deck and turn it to make it fit?

What I'm doing is wiring the power source to something that gets power when the key is turned. That way the screen will light up, and u can swipe the unlock button and then use the assited touch control button instead.. So far its working fine.. And I use a grinder and a metal cut off wheel to cut all my abs. U can make super straight cuts and its a lot steadier than a saws all style. I bought one at harbor freight for like 20 bones. And yes, u have to rotate the CD player so that the cd slot is facing down and the wire harness is pointed up towards the windshield.. Then i used the stock brackets to secure it

I may be getting old, but how does an iPad integrate with a sound system? Never seen this before. As in adding amps and such. Missed the second page, my bad. But if I was modding like this I would want subs and all the wax.........how can you get a pre out from and iPad

So you can customize anything in that area and still use steering wheel controls.
Basically it's like plugging in an iPod, but you're molding it into the dash to fit. It's just a music source piped into sync. Nothing more.
