iPad Mini in an RX330 (Custom Sound System Demo)
I finally got some time to post a video demo of my iPad Mini Lexus RX330 custom sound system install with Sony App Remote. I give a basic walkthrough of some of its capabilities, including Google Search, Google Maps navigation and Music playback.
Let me know what you like/dislike about it!

Well done! That really expands the car's capabilities to another level! I would love to see a full HU replacement system. If Apple really comes out with an iPhone with a large screen that could be the perfect system, just slip it in the receiver and everything is there.

LIKES: I think its an awesome idea and you made it work, and work well.....and who wouldn't want an iPad mini interface, in any vehicle!?
DISLIKES: I don't think the final fit and finish is "on par" with a Lexus vehicle, and it appears to protrude from the dash area quite a bit (a side photo would be nice to see)...maybe rotating the iPad to portrait mode, and relocating the seat heaters, so the iPad can "hang down" lower........then it would have looked more "natural" or "OEM"
Still, I love to see people customize and personalize their vehicles....good work!

The grey does not match perfectly, but the other shades in the cabin make it so that it doesn't stand out so much. I've always wanted a computer in my car and we've reached the point where an iPad Mini can provide that for me. I think in a couple of years, this sort of thing will be very easy to apply or already built in, so my time window for making it happen was coming to a close. I'll take the pic from the angle you requested and post back in a few days.
