RickyFriery97 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 ive wanted to do this for a while, i wont be getting a ipad2 for this, pointless IMO, the ipad 1 will work just fine now the headunit i have is the Alpine 9886. it doesent charge my phone, but ive heard it trickle charges a ipad? alpine headunits in general through the 30pin dock connector, can anyone confirm this? also ill most likely buy this http://www.mobilesolutions-usa.com/smartparts/itemplates.htm anybody have any tips for this? easy way to make it removable? i dont have the Ipad yet, so im just gathering ideas, but this is the next project ill be doing in the burban, along with a custom center console to hold the AC controls and headunit any tips/tricks will be helpful Quote 2014 Chevy Silverado Crewcab 1994 Chevy Full Size blazer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickyFriery97 Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 now that i think about it, it would be easier to just put a ipad in the center console...along with some switches, and volt meters Quote 2014 Chevy Silverado Crewcab 1994 Chevy Full Size blazer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJD3 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 No headunit will charge the iPad worth a damn. 1a chargers won't output enough power. And I'm fairly certain most if not all headunits will output less than 1a. If I were in your position, I'd try and find a cable that has a breakout where you can connect via USB to the headunit, but you can pull power from a cig. lighter.

Man I'm glad you came in here, the way you did you dash is how I would want mine, I just don't have the skills. See I'm in no hurry either, I don't even have the iPad yet. I'd love to have you fab my dash up for a iPad Quote 2014 Chevy Silverado Crewcab 1994 Chevy Full Size blazer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyhighcaraudio Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 I just got an ipad on sunday and am working on making it work in my dash (03 Sierra) i have done it in an 02 tahoe before and it worked great. I have mine sitting upwards (not sideways) and it slides out the top so i can update it and add music etc when i do it there will be a wood frame that will be fiberglassed to the back of the dash bezel with fabric on the inside. the way that i plan on getting around the charging problem is because i already have an EQ with an aux input ill use that inpud for the ipad and i bought a cable thats ipod conneciton to rca with charging (you just connect it to +/- and it will charge it while still playing music. the other reason why i will be using the aux on EQ is because my HU (pioneer 6300 flip out) wont allow me to control off the ipod itself so it makes having the ipad in your dash not as cool if you cant search through the music etc on it...at that point i might as well leave my iphone plugged in itll do that same thing you know? my point being make sure before you start doing anything make sure that you can do whatever it is that you see as important on the ipad. and make changes from what you find i will be posting pics this weekend of my ipad build when i start it if you want to check it out hope this helps Quote Contact us for the best quality cables and accessories with the fastest shipping in the industry EMAIL: [email protected]<script data-cfhash='f9e31' type="text/javascript"> /* */</script> LIKE US ON FB: https://www.facebook.com/SkyHighCarAudio ADD ME ON FB: https://www.facebook.com/jon.rabe.1 MONSTER SKY HIGH/DC GMC: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/127057-sky-high-monster-gmc-walk-through-12-lvl-5-15s-6-9ks-trim-panels-and-wiring-p-90/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJD3 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Also don't make the same mistake I did. Get the 32 gig at the very least. Being that you will use this for music, if you have a music collection of any real size, you will go over. Right now I have 30 gigs used. Since I also use the camera connect kit, I bought the 64 gig. And this is after having bought the 16 gig months before. It's just money, right? *cries* Quote Anti Peel and Seal...lol You may be offended by the above.
