i guess you want an dock for it. like a HARMON KARDON, with the phono outputs. for the amp. then you wouldn't need a head unit.

no doubt.. Ruckus will be along to tell you how its really done haha

i saw a VW beetle with an ipad as a head unit tailored into a custom dash at edition 38 2011. it was sick it wasnt like the others you see which are just mounted onto something screwed to the dash.

I would also like to see what the ice masters here would say?

However i have been bored today and have found this it may help people or be at least a starting block for things

I have an ipod set up on my motorcycle. I have a docking charger with rca outputs to a Lanzar Mini Max MNX250 -1000watt amp. Running two Kicker DS650's and two 10C84 Subs.

I plan to do a simular set up using the ashtray on the dash as a docking point. I'll probably go with a 4 channel in the car though.

I've built my iPad into my mx5. And it will be going into my mini as soon as I start on the interior.

Wow that's amazing,
Could you do a similar thing with a centre console with a Mini.
I would certainly buy one.
