Im working on a new design of a mid-console for a car. We want to make the interior very interactive with intelligent systems. The instrument panel will be a digitall display and we also want to integrate an IPad in the mid-console. I'm very interested in whether you like the idea of having an IPad in your car. It can interact with the digital instrument panel and also with other parts of the car (like the aircondition and heaters), of course it also has connection to internet, navigation, entertainment etc. The idea is to make a nice looking, handy and safe casing, which practicly is an redesign of the mid console. The product will be for those who like to customize their car. We want to focus on two small elektric cars, the Smart and Imiev. What do you think, are you waiting for this kind of product? |

Hi, I don't think this is a good idea - and even less so, if only iPhones can be used. The way to do this, would be to integrate a variety of phones (iPhones and phones with Android OS) via bluetooth. So all you need to think about is a place to put the phone for using its display during driving (although I don't know if that would be legal in Germany - you're not allowed to touch your phone while driving). Problem: You still need a car radio if you want music in the car - the phones don't have amplifiers. So if you want to use the space a radio would have used, you need to supply small amplifiers, too. And then you still don't have a radio with traffic announcements etc. ... But the main problem is: Concentrating just on the iPhone will seriously limit you customer base.
