Hmmmmm, very tricky to answer. So far, including the iPad I have spent about $6500. Doing the full install myself, and i would estimate about 4 weekends to run all wires, fab the console, install all speakers, fab dash bezel. It just all depends how far you want to go.

So far I manually turn the iPad on and off, but the preamp, amps and monitors all turn on only when the key ignition is on.
gotcha. looks nice so far, your really tempting me to try this project. I really like the way that trim bezel came out. Great job

I'm doing this setup in my Ford Lightning. This build looks awesome!!! Very detailed and well thought out which is what I like to see, not just thrown together
The guy who is building my setup told me that there is a way to wire it up so that it comes on/off when the ignition is on/off. Also there is a screen lock so that you can leave it horizontal even after hitting the home button.
I might have to borrow your home button access idea for mine. Looks nice clean and simple

I'm getting in late to this thread but consider me intrigued as to this finished product!!!Any progress pics lately?

If you are using the 30pin apple connection cable, you need to place 5volts across pins 4 (usb data out+) and pin 6(usb data out-) in addition you also MUST have to have a custom resistor load on them this will allow the ipad to charge and play at the same time, as well as turn on when the ignition does.
This diagram below was made by Ladyada who is one of the sickest electrical engineers out there she reverse engineered apples 30 pin out as well as the charging mechanism behind there products.
the diagram shows resistors of 43k and 51k on pin6 which is d- and 51k and 75k on pin 4 which is d+ this corresponds to voltage of 2.8 and 2.0 which happens to be the magic number with the new generation apple product and charging.
