BRiedman Posted August 10, 2014 Report Posted August 10, 2014 I have a 2003 Ford Explorer XLT and I'm trying to figure out how or if it's even possible to put an iPad mini as my head unit. Any help or information would be great.
SSadam Posted August 10, 2014 Report Posted August 10, 2014 To hook up my phone to my home stereo I grabbed a 3.5mm to rca adapter and just plugged that to the inputs. I don't know how strong the signal would be, but it sounds ok on the home receiver.

islandpride684 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Posted August 10, 2014 Soundman has kits on his website which you can run an iPad without a headunit, they are pretty expensive tho...

BRiedman Posted August 10, 2014 Author Report Posted August 10, 2014 I've heard of sound man, do they do any type of vehicle head unit/dash or is it just the ipad mount?
Aj11 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Posted August 10, 2014 I'm still chuckling over the 3.5 jack post... all I've ever seen is the harness. making it fit into the dash is most likely all you. i would post in the hu or fab section and see if anyone has done it in a similar vehicle. might get lucky jvc deck stinger 1800 front hc 2000 kinetic rear 2 runs of 1/0g big 3/4 ct 60.4 2 ct 1400.1 ct EXO 15 d1 lots of deadner type r comps front stage 6 kicker tweets rear stage lots of great stuff coming soon ho alt more bats ct comps for front stage more deadner sweet amp rack lots of L.E.D lights new deck (thinking 80 prs, or flip out)

As far as fabricating the mount into your dash? Yes...all you have to do is send in yours, but idk how that process works....soundmanca.com check it out...
