The family and I decided to take a road trip from Los Angeles to Phoenix, AZ to catch some spring training baseball and we decided that we needed some entertainment for the 5 hour drive.
A little background on me:
I was a car audio installer for over 4 years before taking a technical support job at Alpine (reason why I only use Alpine products in my vehicles), and after 3 years at Alpine I moved onto one of the largest OE parts manufacture in the world, been here for the last 12 years.
I still love installing.....in my own cars....
I didnt want to install just anything, I wanted the setup to be unique, efficient, and minimal as possible. After lots of research and drawing things out. Here's what I came up with.
Equipment used:
iPad Mini 3 on iOS 8.1(jailbroken) - in the Dash, fully removable.
iPad 2 - used for rear monitors
Apple TV 3 - used for rear monitors
Alpine CDE-HD149BT - AM/FM/HD Radio/CD/BT Streaming audio head unit
Alpine PKG-M780 (discontinued) - Dual 7" Headrest monitors
Seagate Wireless Plus - 1TB HDD
Also purchased a bunch of factory brackets in order to mount the radio headunit in the factory rear DVD player location.
Everything works really well and I love how everything looks and functions, so I decided to share with everyone. I still have some touching up to do on the iPad dash piece but you get the idea.
