nice, but I don't like that you got to press against the screen to slide the ipad out ... could of put a hole on the left side to push it out enough to grab the edge and pull it out


i think hyundai give you a ipad that has your car manual on it instead of the ole fashion paper back book

I fucking LOVE the idea of Pandora in a car. XM's decent, but to have totally DJ free radio is awesome.

not really, you could pay a lot more for a lot less to go in your car.

Yeah I was gonna say, get GPS bundled with your car and then talk to me about expensive. You're talking 3k and up for that.

Not just GPS, video playback as well.  Crazy, but iPad2 ends up being cheaper.

the GPS would perform a lot better if it was built into the car however, but i think it's a fair trade

What if you attach an external antennae?

it still wouldn't be as good as one built in

built in ones know exactly what speed the car's going and the direction of the wheels, so if it does lose the signal for a bit in a built up area it still has a pretty good idea of where the car is

umm, smart phone + audio jack = pandora in the car. I do it every day.

Me too.  But big ass screen makes it somewhat safer when driving.

True.  Honda has an awesome GPS system.  Well worth the expense actually.

I think it's funny he put it in an F150.

F150, when not used as a work truck is the ultimate douche vehicle.

Couple it with an apple product and it becomes exponentially even more douchey.

Pure win.

Depends on the built in one. They are of hugely variable quality....

I was not aware that any GPS systems (other than performance ones used in racing - which use lots of gyros and accelerometers and stuff not really applicable to normal driving unless you are driving something that rolls all over the place (and even then that's used to determine things like tyre slip - not direction, which is usually either determined in SW or using dual antennas)) used anything other than GPS to determine location, speed and direction - it sounds feasible, but awkward and expensive to implement. Not something I would have expected to be used in practice - I'm curious to see some examples of this....

3k for a gps is inflated because they count on it being a negotiating point. It's a game.
