So I have the iPhone 6 Plus in my possession finally and I've finalized the double din insert for it. The 91-94 and 95-97 radio bezel opening vary slightly so I had to make two different models. I'm using a back plate and 3 screws to hold the iPhone mount in place. Rock solid no rattles or vibrations.
1. I can do this without needing to hack up a dash. It can be removed and the dash goes right back to normal.
2. I now have one device that handles in car media, navigation, communication. I can pop it out of the dash, throw it in my pocket.
3. The screen size is barely smaller than most double din touch screen car stereos but the quality of the screen image, capacitive touch and the UI make for a much nicer experience.
I know a lot of people think these large phones are silly but I think you shouldn't be looking at it as a phone. Sure it makes phone calls but it's way more than that. It's a camera (and a really good one at that), media player, video game console, personal calendar, email, text, web browser, navigation tool, calculator, ballistics calculator, library storing 100's of books, police scanner, I have the FSM for my 93 and 04 Land Cruisers loaded on it.
Well enough of the ramble here are some pictures of what I've been working on.
