Anyone lucky enough to get there hands on an iPad yesterday? preferably after people who have gone for the 3G option.

I'm interested to know if anyone has hooked it up (i gather you can do it via the iPod adapter some of you have), I'm wondering mainly if you can play music, watch video etc but the REAL question is does the GPS display on the pop-up screen!!

This could be an interesting development especially if you only need the GPS now and again, I don't have the spare cash at the moment but when I do I will be having to decide against the 3G version or just the WiFi, the WiFi obviously not having the GPS function built-in.

If anyone tries it on the M35 and it is a goer please post-up your findings and what works and what doesn't! Also include what iPod adapter you are using as I know there are a few different models of cable.

Cheers

Talk to Chris - Spoolin12,

He got his ipad yesterday and has set his M35 TV up to run everything off his iphone or ipad, Im pretty sure that the GPS works off his 3G ipad and phone.

PS if you do decide to go for one, i think you would be nuts to buy the NON 3G version.

The thing that turned me off the 3G version was the fact the ning nongs at Apple went for the micro sim card :) Meaning you can't use the sim from your common mobile phone or mobile modem.

I was reading too that the iPad has more severe charging requirements than the ipod/iphone, so I'll wait to see if anyone comes out with an ipad car kit.

I would also like a kit compatible with the ipod as I have an old 8gb nano so I could put h264 video and music on it.

I was orginally looking at the wetab (originally named wepad) out of germany, won't be shipping for a few months but it's a larger andriod based unit. Battery life is less but it has usb ports, build in camera (i think from memory). It's worth having a squiz at their site.

I tried my iPod plug in my stagea that connects to my TV and I get "this device is not supported" on the iPad. No video shows up on the screen and no audio. You could just hook up audio to the iPad.

Hope this helps!

Chris.

I thought that might be the case, I was reading something that said there was a protection as such on the ipod dock connector. Something to do with only "authorised" products being able to be hooked up to access content.

However, the way around this is rumoured to be achievable by running a usb from the camera hook up kit, i think the iPad needs to be jail broken though to get full usb functionality.

Time will tell, I'm sure someone will come up with a trendy kit that will be m35 Stagea compatible :)

Thanks Nick, I have been checking them out already, I just wasn't sure about the Android OS. If you check ebay there are 3 or 4 other knock-off ipads getting around, 7,10 and 12 inch versions. The iPed looks the best of the lot though.

All I require is a usb port (shame on you apple) and windows 7. I will have to research Android OS, is it any good?

Depends what you need to do with the usb, I was reading into what people have been achieving with a jail broken ipad running usb cable via the camera adapter.

If you can't do it yet it will be hacked sooner rather than later :thumbsup:

Still got to buy the stupid adapter too and have it hanging off the bottom.

I need usb to communicate with the emanage, wideband and my external laptop drive for HD movies etc. I would also want GPS running on it.

have you had a look at the wetab (originally named the wepad), it's another android system but it's pretty good. isn't ready to ship yet however :thumbsup: it will come in a wifi + 3g format like the ipad.

it has 2 usb sockets.

the android os really is the way forward. all apple are offering now is featureless rubbish. marketing is based on basic things with a pretty UI and apps that Apple don't even make...

on top of that, android is open source. it can be developed and tewaked for any smartphone device out there. and OMG! IT SUPPORTS FLASH!! :D When apple's ads for the iPad say, "The world's websites in your hands" they are actually lying. apple will not support flash and you've got to run a streaming vmware environment, or jailbreak (which voids your warranty) if you want to see flash on i products. apple are fast becomming the next microsoft with their proprietary standards and such. fortunately, this time around, we are better armed...

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
