I've documented some of the work I've done installing an iPad mini into my '04 996 in several threads on a few different forums... I'm putting the information here in its own thread.
Sorry if it seems a bit discontiguous, much of this is cut and paste.

Here's what I'm doing:
- Relocate HVAC to lower slot in lower center console.
- Relocate head unit to upper slot in lower center console.
- Replace head unit with Pioneer single din with USB input and enough charging current to keep iPad mini operating properly.
- Custom mount mini in upper dash.
- Modifications to horseshoe bezel and cup holder trim only. Can be returned to stock easily by replacing $60 bezel.
- Mini will feed into pioneer stereo, then to upgraded speakers in dash and rear.
