Ipad headrest mount

Does anyone have the ipad holder that is mounted on the headrest? Saw it on the accessories brochure of bmw usa as part of the Communication and information package. Any feedback on this one? It seems good for keeping children entertained and watch downloaded movies during long drives. Waswondering if they can be ordered on its own and not part of the package? I have the base attachment for headrest bars for my coathanger and the ipad hoder for bmw can be securely mounted using this as well according to the brochure so was hoping to get comments from our american friends and feedback if the ipad holder is any good. Also, is it compatible with ipad 2?

This is where I first sighted the IPAD holder at CNET (See clip on Paris Motor Show 2010): A visual take on it on 0:24 and special mention of it on 0:55

http://cnettv.cnet.com/2012-bmw-x3/9...-50093918.html

I then checked my local accessories brochure but no luck.

Here's the URL. Click on the link to the accessories brochure page 6/11. They do not have part numbers on brochures, as usual. The IPAD holder in this doco seems to be part of a package.

http://pdfservicemanual.com/automoti...g-brochure.pdf

As I already have the headrest base attachment (see brochure page 4) which I use for my coathanger on weekdays, was thinking to get the ipad headrest mount which will be useful for my young passengers on weekends. And it easily just clips on and off the base attachment. So if anyone would like to share their experience of having one then that would be greatly appreciated. As I have a few questions like can they be purchased individually, compatibility to IPAD2, durability, ease of use, young passengers' satisfaction rate , etc...

Thanks, mate! Yeah, seen a few generic IPAD holders in the market and ebay, but to put them on my headrest would mean taking out the entire base attachment on weekends. Since BMW had the original ones that goes with the base attachments, I didnt really consider those in the market yet. If I go for the generic ones, it's not a lot of work...just additional work to install and de-install the whole equipment on weekends But yeah, might end up going for one out there in the end.

I own a sammy 10" tablet so haven't purchased this, but I do know that BMW Mississauga is charging $150 for it (for iPad though, not iPad 2) - no idea what the difference is between the two. Maybe the iPad 2 will fit?

Thanks! Got the part # and found it at Tischer.... 51952186297. Will go to my local dealer and see if this holder can be used for Ipad 2
