LEAF iPad mount.

I like the RAM mount I installed in my Toyota, so bought another for
the LEAF - slightly different style but the same cradle. Looks like it will
work out well.

Don't watch that while driving! I got rear-ended by someone who was looking down at their iPad...

I won't. I just need to touch the "go back 30 seconds" button when I miss something
in the audiobook I'm listening to. Otherwise I find a spot to pull over. My simple
mind has enough trouble dealing with one thing at a time. :roll:

Nice. I've used a RAM mount for my iPhone in the last two cars and and have been pretty pleased with them. I couldn't find a good spot for the sticky adhesive in the LEAF so I got the cup holder mount. Very solid, surprisingly heavy and a nice snug fit.

Glad to hear that. I avoided the cupholder mount because I thought
it wouldn't be solid enough. Guess I was wrong.

I've got that same RAM holder in my Transit Connect and love it (but it mounts to a hardmount ball instead of a flex-arm). Do you have the part-number for just that universal flex-arm so I can get just it instead of a 2nd whole backplate too?

I use my iPad in my cars for Navigon, since it's a far better traffic-aware navigator than most the built-in ones. Looks a heck of a lot nicer too with their panoramic-3D mode. Combined with all the music on the iPad it's a great in-car tool.

I ordered the whole kit from Amazon, and there is no parts list included. You
might find something on: http://www.ram-mount.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. The model number
of my unit is: RAM-B-316-1-AP8.

Panoramic mode? I didn't know it had one. I'll have to check that out.
iPad is a great in-car tool, even better with the internet connectivity.

Now I never have to ask for directions. :lol:

Any chance you could post pictures? And maybe part numbers? It wasn't too low down?

I use the pad tab! It works great. The the tab fits perfectly underneath the emergency flasher button

Hi, charlestonleafer!

Any chance you could show us a photo of how it works in your car? Am looking at implementing a similar solution my self....

I got my RAM Mount in the mail today and it is awesome. It fits perfectly in the cup holder and is exactly the right height and angle. And it is extremely well made. I can click the home button, type an address and it holds it solid. I am really excited to test it out.
