Default iPad Mini in C6

Just got done kind of doing a preinstall of the iPad mini in the vette.
It slides in and out and charges while mounted. I ordered a second console so I could put the mini behind instead of on top of it. (Didn't want to cut into mine.) I'll try to update every once in awhile.

Take lots of great photos, and be sure to have plenty of lighting ...

Great idea. I would like to see your final outcome. Just might be something I would like to do.

I have gotten the new dash in and have fitted the iPad mini. It's not pretty and nowhere near finished. But what it's basically going to look like is there.
I will post a picture tomorrow.

Well, here it is. Basically at least. Still have a LOT of touching up to do, so don't criticize too much.

I like the idea, but did you ever think of making it removable ?

OK, from those 2nd pictures it looks like it cannot slide at all.
