After all preparatory work, we go to the preparation of the iPad framework, the main idea of \u200b\u200bthe installation was to split outputs from the tablet with a submission to separate buttons that he has 4 - Locking - home - louder - quieter -

This is the first stage of preparation. Probably you have already wondered "How to install it there if there is a regular radio tape recorder in this place?"

Everything is very, very simple if you can put it. It is necessary to simply transfer the regular radio, but fully maintain its performance.

We spent the first day for calculations, measurements, sketches, risky ideas and decided was not, we move closer to the ACP lever. With an accuracy of a millimeter, the regular radio was transferred below.

The next step is moving to the manufacture of a new housing for the iPad. The place for it is already scheduled for it, the buttons are ready, as a result of two days of work we got this one in the world the world for Apple tablet.

Million times we all try and check. Everything is perfect and rises to regular places. We give the malaries to remove the final forms and the color of the panels in the black gloss. A little expectation and here we have the final version of the frame for the new miracle of technology, as well as a new place of the regular radio.


Do not forget about the 4G router which distributes the Internet for the whole car. It was secretly installed in the trunk.

And only after all this, we are preparing to present you the first similar from the projects. Apple iPad Mini in Kia Ceed.

Time for the project - 2 weeks

The cost of the project is from 50 000 rub, depending on the desire of installation and work.

In stores you can find a huge selection of such an accessory as the Holder for Apad. They are not the same, but differ in both the fasteners and the method of installing the tablet itself. In this material we will analyze a lot about the iPad and fastening into the car for different versions of these devices.

One of the most common types of holders for iPad mini, iPad Air and other model of tablets - when fasteners are made in the CD - a slot for a car radio. Such accessories are particularly suitable for devices with a large screen. Of course, for mini versions, they can also be used. In general, these holders are universal, and installed in the car of any brand. At the same time, the driver of the driver is always at hand.

No less reliably attached to the tablet in the car allows another popular model - PPYPLE. There are many adjustment options in it, and you can always install a convenient angle of the display. Such an effect is achieved thanks to a ball hinge connecting the clamp of the tablet and the lower part of the holder.

Another model of the same series, with the prefix Dash-NT, is simply the perfect option for the EYR tablets. It is attached to the torpedo due to the vacuum sucker with a silicone layer. This material guarantees a durable grip with plastic and provides suction protection against air access.

Accessory will suit all IPAD generations. It is fixed between the paws with rubber overlays, having a bevel, and protected from the unexpected pressing of the buttons.

If the task is to facilitate the life of the rear places (especially if these are children), then the Holder for iPad can be placed on the headrest of the front seat. On the tablet can be played a media content. While moving, children can enjoy watching cartoons.

It will be a simple and inexpensive solution that essentially facilitating the traffic jams. And the latter, as you know, in the megalopolis every year more and more. This type of fastening is fixed very simple - no knowledge and skills need. Moreover, no tools will be required. Special lock is attached to the pin, on which the head restraint is. Next, the selection of the necessary notch is carried out - and everything is ready.

In addition to the usual options with the fixation of the tablet mechanically, there are still magnetic type holders. Instead of the clamp, a magnet is used there, and a metal plate is glued to the device. This method has the advantage that it is not necessary to push the mechanical elements of the accessory. But it will take to install a metal plate on the iPad.

One of the most famous firms for the production of such fixtures is Scosche. It produces different variants of magnetic type accessories. Two plates are included in the kit to each. The largest record is just suitable for the tablet. The variety of models of fastenings of this company is represented in many stores on the network. Enough to enter the name of the company in the search engine, and you will see hundreds of proposals.

Car holders for iPad mini

For mini-versions tablets, it is better to use special accessories, calculated on them - PPYPLE CD-N7 and PPYPLE DASH-N7.

With the first model, the device is attached to the CD - slot for the car. It is important that at the same time the holder to reproduce musical tracks will in no way prevent. And the accessory itself is attached to the opening of the drive the simplest way.

The second model allows you to mount the tablet on the torpedo. For this purpose, it will only be necessary to find the most even plot on the instrument element. The accessory has a lot of adjustments, a ball-type hinge that connects the clip of the iPad and the holder housing. This allows you to adjust the angle of the display in wide ranges.
