Is the screen any better on the II? I had big plans to use my gen1 in the car but unfortunately, I do most of my driving in the day time and the screen is so washed out as to be unusable.
That was my plan. Also with 3G it would have been a rolling entertainment center as well. It was just unusable in the car during the day because of the washout.
If I had to do it over I would have done what I'm doing right now, installing a Kenwood. Probably that flip up single din since I was still driving the 300.
I don't think there is a vent mount for an iPad (1 and 2). It's just too big to hang on the flimsy fins of a vent. They have vent mounts for phones and GPSs because they are small enough to be mounted to a vent.
As for mounting an iPad to your dash, that would require some serious dash modifications, cutting, fabricating, fiberglassing, and/or painting. Good luck.
