F80 M3 headrest mount

[neo871]

     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Since the new M3 has headrests integrated in the seat, I wonder how will it be possible to install an Ipad, for example, as entertainment for the rear seat occupants.
I tried searching for something similar for the RS4 or C63, but couldn't find anything.
Does anyone have any idea?

I think this might get difficullt - we have such an entertainment-system in our family car - but no idea how it could fitted in the new M3/4.

Velcro the back of the seats are just plastic.

Velcro could be good, but the biggest problem is that the part glued to the plastic on the back of the seat might come off ugly if you want to remove it.
I think the best alternative would be with some kind headrest straps, but that might look really out of place and also quite insecure.

Maybe 3M command strips? Surprisingly strong and come off very clean. They make all types of hooks/mounts for them.

3M Command Strips would work perfect. I use that stuff to hang 50 pound paintings and xmas decorations in all kinds of surfaces without any issue and always come off spotless

Remember that a 3M command strip, while a great idea, will not survive a rear impact. The ipad will fly backwards.

It's the best idea I can think of and I love those little strips, but having it strapped down somewhere is best for safety.

Why the hell anyone would want the kids watching crap while you are stuck in the car with them? Here is a wild idea, which I know works well: talk to the offspring! That, and heavy metal always works on my journeys.

Or, just teach the lazy little buggers to hold the iPads with their wee hands.

That could be considered cruelty, and we need an opinion of an officer before that can be given as an advice. There is also a risk of this being an exercise and maybe normal car insurance won't cover the possible accidents that can happen while following your advice.

Sorry again, I swear I will never utter an other word before coffee and I will find a way to remember what the hell I'm supposed to buy while in the shop.

If your kid doesn't look like this when you get where you're going you shouldn't be driving an M3/4:

I'll have a 1600km drive after picking up my M3, so the Ipad is really needed

Haha, Okay, I'll give you this then. My son want's to know about police whom are dinosaurs, eating people. I have no idea how he decided to mix those two up, but that's it, all that comes from his mouth has something to do with a human being eaten by the law enforcement.

1600 km of that would probably kill me not so gently. And the only song he likes at the moment is Symphony of Destruction, and I have to say, that I hate megadeth with passion these days so much, it's unreal. Nice, clean lyrics for him to learn english with, but if I hear that song one more time, something is going to happen.

Had to share, I'm without coffee again so sorry abt the rant.
