“SoundMan” installs iPAD into the dash of a Toyota Tacoma

Nice work too!

Wayne Gerdes - CleanMPG - April 7, 2010

A SoundMan iPAD in-dash install!

Doug Bernards of SoundMan Car-audio in Santa Clarita, California is the first to install a fully functional iPAD into a vehicle's dash, the world’s first.

Doug is still waiting for an Apple Doc optical interface and speakers connected both into and out of a, get this, a “McIntosh Amp” The fascia is complete and looks darn near OEM… If only the OEM’s would do something this cool albeit not with the driver being able to access the iPAD’s function while tooling down the road of course

Way to go Doug as that is one very OEM installation making a mockery of real OEM installations

Does anyone else smell the beginnings of a reality show??? ICE Road Truckers, Most Dangerous Catch, OCC Choppers… and now the “Sound Man”!

iPAD by the numbers - The best way to experience the web, email, photos, and video. Hands Down!

A revolutionary product starting at just $499.

All of the built-in apps on iPad were designed from the ground up to take advantage of the large Multi-Touch screen and advanced capabilities of iPad. And they work in any orientation. So you can do things with these apps that you can’t do on any other device.

Safari - iPad is the best way to experience the web. View whole pages in portrait or landscape on the large Multi-Touch screen. And let your fingers do the surfing.

Mail - There’s nothing like the Mail app on iPad. With a split-screen view and expansive onscreen keyboard, it lets you see and touch your email in ways you never could before.

Photos - A vivid LED-backlit IPS display makes viewing photos on iPad extraordinary. Open albums with a tap. Flip through your pictures one by one. Or play a slideshow and share your photos.

Videos - The 9.7-inch high-resolution screen makes iPad perfect for watching HD movies, TV shows, podcasts, music videos, and more.

YouTube - With the YouTube app designed specifically for iPad, videos are even easier to find. And on the amazing iPad display, they’re more fun to watch. Especially in HD.

iPod - Reach out and touch your songs. View your album art full-size. iPad makes music look as good as it sounds.

iTunes - Millions of songs, thousands of movies and TV shows, and so much more. Browsing and buying are just a tap away.

App Store - You’ll find more than 150,000 apps on the App Store, and iPad can run almost all of them. Including everything from games to productivity apps.

iBooks - Reading is a joy on iPad. Text looks crisp and bright. Pages turn with a flick. And you can buy new books from the iBookstore. Just download the free iBooks app to get started


Maps - See more of the world with iPad. Find locations easier than ever with street view, satellite view, or new terrain view — all using Google services.

Notes - With its large display and onscreen keyboard, iPad makes it easy to jot down quick notes and keep important information on hand. You can even email yourself reminders.

Calendar - Work, home, and everything in between. Your schedules are easy to read and easy to manage on iPad — even all at once.

Contacts - With Contacts on iPad, you can see much more than just names and numbers. And you can do more with them, too.

Home Screen - With just one press of the Home button, you have access to every app on your iPad.

Spotlight Search - No matter what you’re looking for, Spotlight Search can help you find it.

Accessibility - Universal access is built into iPad. So right out of the box, Apple makes it easy for people with disabilities to enjoy all that iPad has to offer.

iWork - The iWork productivity applications that you know and love on the Mac — Keynote, Pages, and Numbers — have been completely redesigned for iPad.2 So you can create great-looking presentations, documents, and spreadsheets. All using just your fingers. And while they’re easy to use, they’re also the most powerful productivity apps ever built for a mobile device.

Keynote - Create a presentation with custom graphic styles, elegantly designed themes, stunning animations and effects, and powerful new features designed just for iPad.

Pages - Pages has everything you need to put your words into beautiful documents. Including Apple-designed templates and easy-to-use formatting tools.

Numbers - Numbers includes over 250 easy-to-use functions, an intelligent keyboard, flexible tables, and eye-catching charts. So you can create compelling spreadsheets in just a few taps.

Like watching YouTube upside-down after flipping the car over and waiting for the EMTs to arrive.

Re: “SoundMan” installs iPAD into the dash of a Toyota Tacoma

Nice looking installation, that's for sure. Unfortunately most idiot consumers are going to want to be able to use the thing while driving.

Question: when you park, can you remove the iPad and take it with you? Or is it fixed in place -- which case you might as well have insurance paperwork pre-filled-in for when the thing gets stolen, which won't take long.

True, but half the functions referenced will require internet access, meaning for mobile use you're almost certainly going to want a 3G version (unless you plan on parking in Wi-fi hotspots). Those start at $629 plus a monthly access fee.
