My BMW 1 Car Multimedia setup (iPad Mini)

Hi all,

I want to share my multimedia setup in my 1 Series, because its working very well:





This is an iPad Mini attached to the sunglass compartment with Velcro. The iPad mini is customised for the car by using additional software trough jailbreaking. It automatically starts Apps of your choice when the car starts (bluetooth gets connected), like Spotify and TomTom. By using Activator commands (or by asking Siri ) you can switch between apps trough the Satechi Bluetooth Multi-Media Remote Control beside the steering wheel. For example 3 taps on the home button and you're in your favorite navigation App. Hold the Volume up button and you're back in the Music App. The screen illumination is customised using the tweak f.lux (available on Cydia), so it doesn't hurt your eyes at evening/night.



Here you can see the Satechi Bluetooth Multi-Media Remote Control sticked with Velcro just aside the the right of the steering wheel, for convenient use.



The sound is connected through a bluetooth receiver, the Belkin CarAudio Connect AUX with Bluetooth® (http://www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F4U037). I've tested several receivers out, this one has the best sound. It comes close to a cable It is positioned on the right side next to the cup holders, same spot as the BMW connect button. When you tap the receiver, Siri gets invoked.

This is the remote I use to stay away from the iPad Mini screen as much as possible (http://www.satechi.net/index.php/sat...remote-control)

The speakers (front and back) are the MB Quart QM100 BMW. Specially made for the non-standard BMW format. (http://caraudiosecurity.com/mb-quart...w-1-3-5-series)

The subwoofer is a Pioneer TS-WX610A (http://www.pioneer.eu/uk/products/25...610A/page.html) sticked with Velcro in the trunk. If you have a spare tire, it can easily fit into it. Saving you room. Sounds nice for the price you pay

If you have any questions, feel free to ask
