The iPad in the holder get what requires the tricks and / or patience. The charging connection of the container must be withdrawn completely, then slide the iPad you from the bottom of the connector. He then falls into the container and then press the charging connector back inside.

After four times the iPad in and out to have made, I had about by how it worked. However, it’s too many acts which are not logically follow each other. In one of my attempts the connector on the bottom was inclined to sit and I was afraid that the iPad there never would or would touch the connector. Permanently damaged from my iPad Luckily I got away.

Confirmation and use
The fastener where the container with your iPad from sliding in is easy to attach to the headrest of your car. Tighten the screws completely loose, place one part of the holder on the front and the other at the back of the head and tighten the screws.
