What mount do you have?

Also, concerns with it being in there while doors or off or with soft top on?

Do you have service on yours?

Yeah, I'd like to have it for navigation and radio mainly... but will the ipad hook up good off a phones wifi mobile hotspot?

yea will work good either way. if you are looking at it as a more permanent setup (daily use), you would want to get a data package from verizon or AT&T for the iPad. works just like a cell phone then.

Just saw that 2gb is $30, 5gb $50 a month... thats a lot, plus a phone bill!!

I do and dont want to use it as a everyday thing.. it would be nice for the radio and nav.. I mean, a aftermark headunit with all that is $800+ I can get a 16gb ipad for $400 and have internet, apps, games, radio, movies, music, navi....

Jw, because when I hook my ipod touch up to my phones wifi, i cant browse the internet or play my games on there, only if its hooked to my router?

I wasn't thrilled about the 240 price tag either.. The quality is there and it does just look like a natural part of your dash .Using apps like Pandora and iheartradio instead of listening to local commercials over and over is a blessing. Google maps can't be beat for navigation and it gives your passenger something to mess with if nothing else.
