Hi everybody. New guy here. I'm the new owner of a champagne 2014 Yukon XL SLT. I've been a chevy driver for a while. I have a 2001 Silverado 2500 lwb single cab work truck, and a 2013 Impala LT daily driver for work.

With four smallish children, and no video options present in the Yukon, the tech geek in me is looking to fashion my own.

I've decided on using a 9-10" tablet to stream wirelessly from a Seagate Wireless Plus. My three oldest kids (8, 10, and 12yo girls) each have older model iPad minis, and already do this. I'd like to consolidate this into one screen overhead, and not bother with separate headrest monitors.

My question is: does anyone know of an overhead mount for a full size iPad Air 1 or 2? One that could fold up. I'm also open to fabricating something myself, but my time and facilities are extremely limited. I can easily hand running charging and audio cables, I'm just having a hard time coming up with a mount that will hold the iPad and allow it to fold up flat against the ceiling, without looking like Jethro Bodine hacked it together.

Thanks in advance for the help!

My concern with this is you have to touch the Ipad to do commands. How easy is it to do this when everyone is buckled down?

One of my older kids will always be in the middle row and be able to reach it. If It presents a problem I may look at a Bluetooth remote or another remote control solution.
