i have this mounted on the ceiling in my corolla for my daughter to watch movies... works good until u hit a ditch and the ipad rotates a bit. but maybe u guys can come up with something better... i know some ppl might say to just buy a flip down but when u have 48 disney movies saved on ur ipad a flip down is just a waist of money!

About a year ago, when I first bought an iPad, I wanted to do the same thing as you. I discovered that with one of those rubbery iPad cases, the iPad will actually sit in the little ridge directly above the center console - it stays fairly secure, too, as long as you aren't thrashing it all over the road or a track. It actually holds better when it is pressed up against the gauge cluster area. I don't do it myself, because I've got a Droid X with a windshield mount and Google Music (which is awesome, by the way) now, but here's a couple picks to give you an idea.

Now that's clean
heres a few pix of the setup i did on my truck just to give you guys an idea of how it would look horizontally. like i said i put about two weeks of work into this and the one for my car took about two days so yeah quality is alot better. it could deffinatly fit horizontally on my sc but i wanted to go with a more simple setup.
