Can you run iPad through coach audio? (Not music or podcasts)
I was going to replace my aging iPad mini with a new one and add Copilot. I was also going to get the Tireminder Smart system and essentially use the iPad as an all-in-one device while driving the coach. I really don't want 2-3 different screens to pay attention to as well as the road.
My only concern is volume. The gripe with older iPads for such purposes is low volume. I'm worried I won't be able to hear it over the V10. I fiddled with the audio systems to try to get the turn-by-turn over the coach audio but it only plays music when connected by either cable or bluetooth . . no voice otherwise from either my phone or iPad. There is an HDMI connection under the dash that, in theory would let me mirror the whole thing to the dash screen but there are a couple different connections and adapters needed to make that work and I don't really want to fool with all that. It also seems like such a connection could be pretty unreliable when traveling down the road. The connectors are also expensive. There is no such thing as lightning to HDMI.
Anyway . . I'm wondering if anyone has either used an iPad mini (or any ipad) for GPS and if you can hear it over engine noise? Also, anyone figure out a way to get it to play through the dash audio?
