Where did you get the cable to convert the iPad Mini's new "lightning" connector to the stereo audio out? I have one for my iPhone 4 with the 30 pin connector. Can't find one for new style connector.

All the parts are going to Eric for painting early next week. in Satin/Flat Black.
A guy is making me a custom lightning cable for audio out ($80) in the mean time, I'm streaming music using bluetooth to the pre amp.

i noticed the home button on the ipad is covered by the bezel. how do u turn the ipad on when its shuts off?

joelpirela

I have a soft touch home button from the bezel. The ipad never shuts off while being powered and automatically turns itself on when I start the car...

Does the ipad go to the unlock/swipe screen when you turn the car on?

joelpirela

You are right.

It's an annoying limitation of iPads... No easy way that I know of to eliminate the swipe requirement in an auto installation.

I'm working on an iPad mini integration for my 996 as well.

Also, I'd love to see pic's of the 90 degree lightning cable when you get it. Is your cable guy interested in making another one?

joelpirela

He doesn't, but you could buy an iPhone 5 chinese dock from ebay for $6 and tear it apart and use that connector as it will work. that was my plan "B"
In regards of the swipe, I'm happy to lock the ipad with a security code, in case it gets stolen...

This is exactly what we are needing to do so my race keeper predictive dash can be installed like this. If someone can get together a parts list and see if this will work on the 996 generation I would love to follow suit.

Pfbz how are you going to mount it in the 996? It looks like it is larger than the current double din space and will be partially covered by the horseshoe.

Any update?

joelpirela

still waiting on the parts from bumperplugs and one USB power cable I need...

I'm confused, are you eliminating the head unit and using the mini as a head unit via the lightning cable-harness adapter to factory amp and speakers?

Spoddle

I'm guessing he's doing the following...

iPad Mini -> lightning cable -> amp -> harness adapter

The amp allows him to boost the volume/output of the iPad since the head unit is no longer used.

joelpirela

you are correct. Head unit will be gone. (what a piece of junk anyways!)
