    Default iPAD Mini

    I've had my phone mounted to my Providence power unit for as long as New Darth has been around. But seeing The navi has been difficult on the small screen. Enter the iPad Mini.

    There were several options for mounting it, including putting IT on the Providence power unit. But after playing with several locations, this is where I settled in. Right now it uses a RAM ball that has a place for a screw (as you can see). I replaced the stock screw with a longer one.
    More comments below....





    The power for the mini comes from a USB outlet behind it. Like many, I removed the analog guages. You can see my voltage/wattage/current draw/ amp hours meter on the right. Behine the mini, I installed a standard cigarette lighter outlet, and then plugged in a 2 USB outlet. Works great.

    The ONLY issue is that all of the weight of the mini is held in place by a single bolt. Very likely, I'm going to fab a small additional support just fior comfort and safety.

    Phil, I see you still left the analog gas gauge in the dash.

    I also removed that one and used the hole for a RAM mount that is very secure!

    In this video I show how I did the RAM mount. FYI this was Stevedfive's idea I just elaborated on it

    A++ Bob! VERY nicely done and reported!!

    I AM going to take out the analog and put my 12v outlet in its place. That way my lightning power cord will disapear behind the mini. BUT... I really like what you did too!

    Default Thanks so much!!

    I wanted to put a note here to bump this thread. I had SO many ask questions about Darth and how we did the lighting and other mods. Feel free to share this thread. My goal is to help educate and show what can be done.

    I'll do the same on Bobbie's bike, Psycho (being remaned soon...).
