iPad holder....help

Post by Andy_R » Sun Mar 20, 2016 10:19 pm

Anyone sourced an iPad holder for the back of the front seats. Do quite a lot of long journeys with the kids and iPads for films etc are a must. All my previous cars have had headrests on posts so mounting brackets are easy to get hold of, with the RS6 and it's one piece seats I can't seem to find anything suitable.

help to save my sanity gratefully received :beerchug:

I bought some ipad covers years ago that have a Velcro strap that allows you to attach them to normal headrests but also you can just drop it over the top of the C7 seats.

I've not found anything as of yet, I'm wedging the ipad in its case in between the seats on the armrest. Just remember not to floor it from standstill otherwise it'll go flying and KO the kids! Local ICE guy mentioned he fitted some sort of magnet glued to the back of the headrest into a Bentley recently but I didn't fancy the idea of glue and leather..!

I'd be interested to hear what everyone else uses....

Lower the centre armrest and attach one of these?

or use that in the front cupholder with the screen between the 2 front seats?

The rear cup holders are quite flimsy aren't they? And it only holds a mini?

This looks pretty much like the one I have that I used to use on the bucket seats so will probably work just as well on the supersport seats:

The strap is verco and is elasticated so will stretch a bit, bit it is long enough and strong enough to hold a full size ipad in an RS4 with buckets. I can try it on the C7 seats later if you want.

That's what I've used, warning though, as the head rest is tapered they do tend to slide upwards and if you're lucky, off entirely.

Your other option maybe to mount from the floor mounts where the seats clamp.
