wilsons66604 Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Take note of the indentation in the center of the dash. Is that about the size of an iPad? It's not a good viewing angle though. Does anyone else have an iPad and thought about taking it with you on a road trip? Where ya going to put it?

choff1138 Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Looks like it might fit. Why do you need it visible while driving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsons66604 Posted September 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Looks like it might fit. Why do you need it visible while driving? Ha! To watch NetFlix! Early on, I was thinking it could be used as a great Navigation device. Not much need for it now now that I have ordered the SD voice nav. This 2011 Edge is too cool There's no additional tech required! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choff1138 Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 though if you have an extra ipad you want to pass on - I would find a use for it. I love them, but having a hard time spending the money on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mac Book Pro has retired to the desk and pretends to be a desktop server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choff1138 Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 we got my Gramps to get one so he could watch baseball games on it - he loves it. Of course my four year old fights him for it too. She is better with it than the rest of us. We definitely are an "i" family... I am really excited to be able to just hook up the ipods rather than try to find a station that works to transmit too. I am driving a saturn right now that I can't get a station to work with the ipod. Just one more thing about the car to annoy me. I can't wait to get back to driving a Ford.

It's not a good viewing angle though. Does anyone else have an iPad and thought about taking it with you on a road trip? Where ya going to put it? I sit mine usually right in front of the gear shifter with it sideways in landscape mode. This gives a big size video playback and it isn't teetering on falling off like when you sit it in front of the radio in the indentation standing up. You could also buy two jumbo 3m hooks and attach them on either side of the AC controls so that it's higher up and have them cradle it. I did this on my last long road trip. It was the perfect height for casually watching out of the corner of your eye without having to look down at the gear shifter (which takes your eyes further from the road ahead) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With iPhones/iPads streaming bluetooth music now you don't even have to take it out of your backpack/pocket to play music from it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to burn a cd for the stupid Saturn. (I am grateful someone is letting me borrow it so that I could order the car I wanted, but still) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
