The iPad mini dash mount kit will be for any '05 to '09 mustang owner who find themselves constantly using their iPad mini for things like music, navigation and different apps on their car ride to make it more enjoyable. Now if you are anything like me you constantly have that thing sliding everywhere down the seats, falling on the floor and having nowhere to actually mount the thing very safely, securely and conveniently. Now, all that changes with this iPad mount system here that actually attaches on to the front end of your dashboard. It's a kinda replace the area in the trim around your factory radio to easily mount it up you are using magnets. AM is giving it two out of three wrenches on a difficulty meter because there is quite a few steps involved since you will have to disconnect the factory radio. After everything is set and done is it shouldn't take longer than thirty minutes to an hour in a driveway at home. This one actually work with an iPad mini one through four so it's a huge plus for the guys with a different generations of iPad, it will still work with the same template. There is nothing else you have to buy extra to get it to work it'll snap right in a place just like any other one. So, you're actually gonna use this faceplate instead of the factory one and way this works is obviously it maintains all the holes necessary for your knobs and gadgets and what not that come from the factory. On the other hand, right here in the center there is actually going to be a magnet that holds the iPad mini into place. Whenever you wanna remove it you can just pop it off and you have access to the factory radio underneath. Definitely something that is extremally easy to navigate, extremally easy to use and doesn't require any drilling or cutting to get this thing installed. Since this does use the neodymium magnets that I did just mentioned, that is gonna bump up the price tag since it doesn't really interfere with the factory radio. So, it does bump up the price to about $350 mark. But some people, you might look at this and think that's a lot of money for just this little mount thing. But if you are looking for some convenient way to mount your iPad mini and of course having it out of the way, convenient, able to be seen very easily, like the factory navigation would, than this is gonna be a great option for guys that don't want it to stick out like a sore thumb at the same time. This installation is a little bit involved. It will require just a few simple hand tools like a ratchet and simple socket set, and a screwdriver as well for some of the faceplates stuff. What you'll need to do to start this one off is start pulling some of the trim out of the interior. Your shift knob now comes first than pop off this inner console trim, then this side panels in the foot wells, which connect to the sides of the radio area. Than you can use a screwdriver to remove a few screws on each side to pull off the entire faceplate. Than unscrew the radio head unit itself and drop it at the place. With the faceplate removed you'll have all the buttons and charger ports connected as well, which you'll need to remove and transfer over to the iPad faceplate with just a couple of bolts. With everything installed on that you can put it into place around the factory radio head unit, which you can bolt back into the factory location. From here you can tighten down the faceplate, replace all the side panels and center console trim as well as the shift knob. Put the iPad in to the place and you're good to go. Just to wrap it up here. If you're the owner of the '05 to '09 mustang you might be looking for a way to conveniently mount your iPad mini safely to the dashboard and actually have it look like it came there from a factory. If that sound like something you're looking for. The iPad mini dash mount kit will be a great alternative and it's available right here at the americanmuscle.com.
