Here is my ipad in car solution. works REALLY well!

I have a 12.9 inch ipad with lte service. i currently use it as my infotainment system in all my cars. Honestly its incredible and to me better than any of those carplay modules. Connected to Bluetooth.

does it get distracting? I mean, while driving, it's for navigation and music right? anything else? camera's e.t.c?

I like! Easy to reach!

Does it respond to your steering wheel controls? Like switching to Next song? My bovee connection wont allow me to “next” song from the steering wheel..

I looked at a wireless back up cam but found that the startup took to long to boot up to make it effective. how did you overcome this?

I went with the 8 inch and hung it over the center vents... Got two vent magnets... I tired to jailbreak the ipad but apple is shutting that down as quick as they can...
