I've never seen it done, look forward to seeing your mangled dash though  :laugh:

In all fairness though its a massive task to undertake and you only get one shot at it being right

No faith all of you... Haha I don't know if I'm that brave but I'm doing some measurements today... No cutting though in case it looks like some of what I've just seen :lipsrsealed: savage

Perry that vid is awesome but there's a big difference as the mk4 centre dash console is sooo different, I think I might need to source one from somewhere and take my. Time, one mistake and it will look like a crack head did it :cry:

Your right that it does the same job bro! But I really want the new iPad Air in there..... Tbh I don't think it's possible especially as a tidy job or I'm sure it would already be done, I tried measuring bits up today but I can't see a viable project :undecided:

as said ipad air would be way to big imo.

but you want to know how to do it, do it a simelar way to them, but bigger :D

create somewhere to put the ipad on your dash, and get some form of amp and someform of input block that can take the ipad cable...
