When reports came out that SoundMan was able to successfully install the new iPad in a Toyota Corolla, a lot of people wondered if other car brands would follow suit. After all, buying a car with a built-in iPad is a pretty good selling point for prospective buyers.

For its part, Ford->ke31 tried to make good use of their Sync technology to determine whether the iPad would work on a Sync-enabled Ford vehicle. It turns out that, technically speaking, you can use an iPad with Sync technology, but it comes with a number of pretty glaring restrictions. The most definitive setback Ford discovered is that you can't connect the iPad to Sync by using a USB. This will pretty much render the iPad useless, unless of course, you're car is hooked up to an on-board WiFi hotspot.

Despite this supposed setback, we're confident that Ford and other car brands can find a way to get the iPad working on their vehicles the same way Soundman was able to accomplish with his Toyota Corolla->ke1039.

Check out the video and watch how the boys from the Blue Oval tried - with minimal success - to get the iPad Sync'd in to their vehicles.
