No more lambos. Some of the biggest fans of my car are saddened by this but it was time for the change back to stock.

Well I have acquired what will be the heart and soul of my new audio/video build. An Apple iPad 64GB with 3G will control the audio and video while also providing internet access and GPS. I hope this works in the way that I anticipate. While the iPad will be the heart and soul I will need to get a new brain for it as I sold my Pioneer 6500DVD and plan to replace it with a double din.

Expecting the wheels on U.S. soil any day now so it won't be long before the real progress begins.

I have been thinking about it since day one so I hope it works out the way I want it to. I am very impressed with it out of the box so I am pretty excited about the possibilities.

That installation that Fishman did looks pretty hot. I don't think I will be doing anything like that though but who knows. When we get to audio/video we will see what happens.

Will you be able to take out the iPad? Or will it be hardmounted into the dash?

That is an interesting idea...I've always wanted a full touch screen that is bigger than an in-dash set up.

The iPad idea is pretty cool. Fishman's is real nice with the swiveling motor.
