The Sound Man on youtube has taken the liberty of posting his install of the iPad into a Toyota Tacoma. According to “Sound Man”
Planned install will include a McIntosh 6 channel amplifier MCC406M, and a special iPod dock which allows the digital signal to be pulled from the iPad and distributed to the BitOne via optical output. Toyota Tacoma
The install looks quite nice and I have to say I wouldn’t mind a similar setup in my own vehicle. The only problem is the likely theft of the iPad. Hopefully though this is a non-issue and “Sound Man” can go on enjoying his iPad in car for years to come.
The first iPad car install! Soon to be followed by the first iPad distraction car wreck.
You know I was thinking about this very thing while driving down the road the other day. I’m not surprised someone tried it, but I agree, wait til the sun hits it. Yikes. Pretty cool concept though.
