iPad Mini

I'm not trying to be mean but that's what I meant by doing it properly. That looks horrible. And you have way more than $60 in to it. You purchased an aftermarket radio and iPad that you're not including. Neil currently has a stock stereo.

DUHHH obviously. It cost me $60 meaning a ipad case, bondo, resin. In the end it was like $500. Including ipad and headunit. btw I would love to see your attempt. Sorry I havent been doing this shit for long so I might be rusty

Technically you could get away without a regular headunit....if you go ipad > sound processor> amp...then you don't need the headunit...

yes, but you're still looking at a couple hundred for a good sound processor. You also won't keep steering wheel controls, Bluetooth, OnStar, etc. putting a single din radio in there and using the AUX will allow you to keep all this. just using a sound processor won't.

I'm actually in the middle of doing mine, so I've done a lot of research.

yes you could. This is temp for me (got alpine 9887 for $100). I am saving up for a 3sixty.3 and hook it up via bluetooth or optical.

I agree but mine I didn't spend much on. Waiting to purchase rf 3sixty.3. I could care less about onstar, steering wheel but if you wanna keep all that, a headunit will be needed. In the end if done properly with nice gear, motorization, $1000 easy.

I'll wait for Nathan to do it and see how it's done. I saw one of these installed on an escalade, it is majestic.

this is what you could use and some people have used...

HRT iStreamer Outboard DAC for iDevices

but I'd still recommend putting that in to a radio.

The hrt i streamer works well. You could also use the Pure i20 which will give you digital out and charge, and go into a sound processor.
