I'm looking for information in regards to mounting a radio inside the Glove box I've searched the threads and haven't found any info on this. Are there special brackets available or is there a universal bracket available for single din radios? Is this something that needs to be customized ?

Why? The reason is because I plan to install my ipad mini on my dash that is the reason and run a USB cable to the ipad for charging that is the reason.
I rather have it in the glove box than behind the ipad dash.

If it was me i would look into the sony app radio. you install the app on your ipad and control all the radio functions through the ipad!

Is theirs where you control the radio through the ipad?

pioneers app radio (at least last time i looked at them) "mirrored" your phone to show your phone apps on the radio.

Sony's you are controling the radio through the ipad as if it was a remote with a display.

I already have the app radio I was one of the first members with this set up and offered my opinion on it. The app radio has software issues due to the Iphone 5 connector when I was using my 4S I loved it. However I don't want to continue upgrading the appradio everytime theres a change in software or hardware on the Iphone therefore I want to install an ipad with a dedicated radio received that will give you greater audio than the appradio. The best way to run the appradio with the iphone 5 is to jailbreak the iphone which ive done myself and then everything will be mirrored to the screen which is great and all but the connection is unrealiable sometimes I loose Bluetooth signal and or video doesn't transmit correctly. Both appradio and sony version have faults but are the best options out there.
