Hey big suggestion for anyone looking to do this. Use painters tape first! Any color and then put the velcro on it. This way if you ever decide to remove the velcro you can without having the glue bake in the car into the dash. Something when attaching items to the wall
I was thinking that too especially when temps get 80+ degrees in the summer and the velcro glue gets really slimey and bakes on whatever it's sticking to. Great idea with the painters tape.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017yeah in extreme heat it may get gooey. A tablet mount holder that you put in the cd player might work better as well and not have to worry about the tape
I was worried about replacing my high-end older oasis with this one th-cam.com/users/postUgkxCgPI5O2AtmcHq9SJhgsCGbpAzJAJfrJp but it is surprisingly light and the screen resolution is just as good. I never had the warm light on my old kindle, but i do not use it on the ipad so I will probably not need it. I think the only thing I'll miss is the self-adjusting light, but this is so worth it!
Hi I had a similar setup a few years ago. They make a magnetic cell phone or tablet holder that goes into the cd slot. Would be good for your phone too since doesn’t block vents. Other option I do in conjunction is to actually use L brackets and cover it colored duct tape or fabric and slip it into the ends of the dash.
I love the simple solution. I have CarPlay in my car, but you pointed out I could have bigger maps screen. I would use Siri to ask it to do stuff. Like call people, text someone, etc. I missed how you have iPad audio coming through your car speakers.. I’ll watch again. Way to go, Sir. Great workaround. Remember to take iPad out when you leave car.
He has his iPad connected to his cars Bluetooth like connecting your android or iPhone same thing plus he’s using his hot spot from cell phone to get his iPad running
Damn I did the same exact thing last night and works like a champ. I used the same material as well. I guess I wasn’t the only one thinking outside the box
Dude, this is genius, thank you! I was trying to stick mine on to the screen with double sided suction cups but it didn't really work. I've got some velcro in my tool box which I didn't even think of using but it's perfect! Thanks!!
Don't listen to these fucking morons commenting - You're 100% correct. The thieves who might look in the vehicle are just going to think it's a useless factory head unit, like so many mfr's are running now. I've been doing it with a 10.1" GalaxyTab on Uber/Lyft for over 3 years and 5000 rides - These dummies who are dogging you haven't done SHIT like you're doing. Stay brazen, stay strong, ignore the sheople - You have to stay outside their herds to get anywhere in this world. Just look at fashion trends for the last 1000 years - That should tell you something. Sheople/lemmings/groupthink/crowd mentality - Whatever you want to call it, they buck change. They don't like your creativity. But you're right, and it's an awesome way to roll with vids/mp3s at your fingertips!
They sell tablet holders that mount from the CD player. They work very well, and looks like it would be perfect with your vehicle setup. It wouldn't block the A/C vents unlike other makes.
Hi! I did this exact thing you just said ~ its a SUPER strong magnet holder that fits perfectly into the cd player slot ~ only thing is, its SO strong that when I went to remove the carplay unit, it tore the magnetic strip right off the back of the carplay lol! Maybe the sticky side of that magnet wasnt strong enough? It was 3m, so I thought it would stick pretty good to the back of the carplay but nope
In the U.K we have something called DAB or digital radio that gives you a massive amount of extra radio stations by the side of normal FM it would be nice to see a DAB app on that tablet
2011 Ford Escape. Don’t have a screen in the dashboard. Bought the Apps 2 cars phone CD mount. Holds my iPad 9.7. Covers the radio controls but it’s fine because I have volume on the steering wheel.
I was gonna get an in car head unit but a cheap tablet and this mount is a better option so i can keep the car stereo stock if i sell in the future and will still have a tablet in the end
Done it in my miata with big cellular iPad. Use VLC player, very easy to send video songs from android and it's crazy it fits perfectly. Big screen tiny interior. Looks factory like and I love it.
You were fortunate that the iPad was able to rest on that shoulder. I have an old iPad Air. There's no shoulder on my Honda Vezel. I wonder the Velcro will be able to hold rigidly.
You could do the same thing to a case and then have the option to remove the tablet from the case instead of peeling the Velcro over and over... Good video
I saw an Indian guy tied a thick thread between the ac grill and the 7inch tablet like hanging a piece of cloth. Remove & carry it while going home/parking. Just need a reverse wifi camera.
I know this way is so cheap but honestly you can buy a iPad CD holder , it will cover your whole stereo and is way more easy to remove it , that's the way I have it
I've been using a tablet Mount that comes out of my cup holder that sits right in front of the screen and I don't know why I never thought of just velcroing the dang thing to the old screen that I don't look at other than the back up camera. The weight of the tablet makes it wobble around and it is very cluttered and fills up the space. I saw this video and went right out with some Velcro and boom my Highlander has a huge upgrade. I can turn off the screen underneath(for less heat) but I don't think I can keep it off without unplugging the power or something. I wanted a Pioneer Dex unit but my quote at car toys ended up being almost $2,000 for the deck alone because apparently my Highlander is complicated. *rolls eye*. I'm not a cheap guy but I love when I get to be cheap and still enjoy good. Thanks for the video.
That Velcro will stick for 25+ years we did this on our boat for the remote control cuz that was fancy in the 90s. 25 years of neglect and outside and it’s still on and if you really need the back up camera just take it off for the minute or2
I bought a tablet holder for my Samsung Tab E which I hardly used. The holder uses the disc tray to settle and it's brilliant. I bought a Aux Bluetooth stick very cheap and the soubd is exceptional. Very happy with my cars entertainmemt. I have 30gb hotspot limit and the internet with ease.
I have the same dilemma ang was thinking of buying a tablet car mount instead of invested in hundreds of dollars worth of headunit which my tablet can basically do the same things and even better. Thanks for this. Also there are apps that you can just use specifically when driving that limits the clutter of your UI and other apps you wont typically use.
Good idea.... BUT the problem with velcro is the heat in the car when the windows are up on a hot day.. The velcro will "POUR" off... Just closing your door the tablet is going face down like a $2 hooker.... Best bet would be a dash or windshield mount that you can position
Well that's great , i've seen lots of videos doing those things like using the tablet on their cars , but hey cool to watch it again thanks for sharing..
Once you had the loop part of the Velcro on the car, why didn't you just put the hook side right on that then remove the tape, lone up the iPad and press it into place? That would have aligned everything perfectly.
@@captaincanada1525 there cheap and sound quality is horrible. Either way a good headunit is the best. Not a Chinese Android unit there's no point in having a bunch of apps in your car either way.

Its a very good idea for those who dont wanna ruin their tablet and their stock dash. Im thinking something similar for my XF but with magnets and metall behind the dash cos it will look more clean
About the iPad: Its was a great idea 5 years ago when andriod HU didn't exist or was really really bad. -You need to charge your iPad and the wire will look ugly and annoying. -if you want to switch source on the HU you don't know whats playing, what channel, etc. Also you can't adjust your eq unless your remove the iPad and after your remove it you have ugly looking two black lines on the dash -you have to unlock it everytime you enter the car -you can't have backup camera -overheat is very common -hotspot for thieves -GLARE -no audio quality improvement since hu didn't change -it could fall anytime and break and there goes your 300$ Tip on ipad: - you can use assitive touch to adjust the volume or just swipe up. - install jailbreak to have features like turn on with ignition - add obd2 module to read all car live info and codes - put a matt screen sticker to reduce glare Also if you have voice command to control ac and radio would be much easier. Goodluck but sorry you should've bought the andriod HU since it has youtube, uber, lyft, etc. + it functions fully as a HU.
You are right, CD slot mount is probably the best way to go. You can mount the ipad so that it sits above your stock display so you don't lose anything and the passenger can tilt it his way if needed. Magnets make removing it so much easier to stash away in your glove box or center console.
I've been doing it with a 10.1" GalaxyTab for years, and I've tried every method I could find for mounting. 1st place is definitely CD Slot Mount. 2nd Place is doubling up on the vent magnets/steel stickers on the back of the tablet. 3rd place is Velcro. And the very first time I mounted one I used those bendable-foam-coated-coat hanger type things from the craft stores; worked well, and made for a neat looking frame, but much more difficult to remove/take with you/replace.
CooLoserTech make sure you don't forget your iPad in your car on a hot day. If the car heats up in the sun the adhesive of the velcro strips will definitely liquify and fall off.
Had the same car bro, loved it. I'm a Hyundai/ Kia guy for life now. Traded it in for a genesis G80 which I love even more. Surprised you dont like the infotainment as Hyundai/Kia are known for having the absolute best, but hey to each their own. Waiting for the 2019 Stinger and going to trade in my G80. Hope your channel blows up bro, when it does stop up to the Stinger. You can get the 4 banger for cheaper than what that SXL cost you, or a base 3.3 GT for about 5G more.
I agree, I sold my 2012 Subaru WRX hatchback after I had this Kia Optima for 2 weeks. Kia is not even close to what they used to be. Now you can be proud and loud about the name, it's crazy and even considering a future electric Kia with how good the tech options are on this 2012. Kia is ahead and I love it

the Velcro solution is only going to be temporary, after 3rd time you separate the velcro pads they lose the stronger hold and the tablet will rattle.

you can download Karta Gps app. It doesn't need wifi
Hey...here's my question.
Now that you have been doing this, does the iPad rattle against the plastic underneath?
About the iPad:
Its was a great idea 5 years ago when andriod HU didn't exist or was really really bad.
-You need to charge your iPad and the wire will look ugly and annoying.
-if you want to switch source on the HU you don't know whats playing, what channel, etc. Also you can't adjust your eq unless your remove the iPad and after your remove it you have ugly looking two black lines on the dash
-you have to unlock it everytime you enter the car
-you can't have backup camera
-overheat is very common
-hotspot for thieves
-GLARE
-no audio quality improvement since hu didn't change
-it could fall anytime and break and there goes your 300$
Tip on ipad:
- you can use assitive touch to adjust the volume or just swipe up.
- install jailbreak to have features like turn on with ignition
- add obd2 module to read all car live info and codes
- put a matt screen sticker to reduce glare
Also if you have voice command to control ac and radio would be much easier.
Goodluck but sorry you should've bought the andriod HU since it has youtube, uber, lyft, etc. + it functions fully as a HU.
Awsome buddy. Well done
how did it hold up after over 2 years and in the heat??
I guess I do not have that much heat here in Oregon to melt, or it does fine just the way it is setup.
Does the tablet have an AUX input?
Is the link to the adapter mentioned at 2:14 in here?
Clean solution...but can also consider a device holder via the CD slot
But it's not as flush to the dash, I'm going to experiment with other options too
CooLoserTech Good point. Will look out for an update vid
Like your phone magnet dock they make longer strip magnets for this sort of purpose.

You are right, CD slot mount is probably the best way to go. You can mount the ipad so that it sits above your stock display so you don't lose anything and the passenger can tilt it his way if needed. Magnets make removing it so much easier to stash away in your glove box or center console.
