Ipad mini mount over screen

[Qwillex]

Made a quick ipad mount to go in front of the stereo, I much prefer a device over a stereo screen, nice to have full access to every app. It would be nice to display the backup camera on it, but I can move the iPad quickly if I really want to see the screen, I don't typically use backup cameras much, I am so used to not having one.

Everything is held on with double sided tape and magnets so everything could be removed quickly.

The lip was cut out of some wood L trim I had laying around, the arm is just an L bracket cut down with a piece of the soft side of velcro so it doesn't damage my iPad. I put a magnet in the little cubby with double sided tape (the super heavy duty 3M tape, same that I used for the lip), then the metal L bracket just sticks to that.

Unfortunately apple car play doesn't exist on an iPad so I need to use Bluetooth, we'll see how well it all works over the next few days. I may need to add a short piece of something on the left side to stop it from trying to slide to the left but I'll just have to see if it's an issue.

Last picture is without the iPad showing how the lip isn't very noticeable at all.

What size Ipad is that?

It's the mini 5 (last year's model) the mini 6 is the newer one, but it doesn't have the home button and I think the home button is better for this use case (quick fingerprint unlock and turn on).

Manual buttons are better for automotive use because you can use them by touch. Touchscreens force you to look.
