iPad Mini + Dension 500s BT + CD slot mount
Finally found locally this CD slot mount for tablets that works very well.

I already have the Dension 500BT working with iPhone4/5/6, which is now replaced with the iPad Mini connected via USB/Lightening cable.
Volume control is on the PCM, and everything else is on the iPad Mini (LTE data connection)... Music, Spotify, Google Maps, Waze and Messages... etc. And the new "Hey Siri" feature makes is so much fun to use. My iPhone6 in my pocket is connected to the 500BT via BT for making and receiving phone calls with the control lever on the steering column.
The mount fits into the PCM slot and locked securely & tightly. And the adjustable height is also a very good to have feature! It doesn't look as professional as replacing the whole PCM, but the installation is much simpler, total cost is much cheaper, and without the limitation of CarPlay.
(lower position - most of the time)
(volume on the PCM is still accessible easily)
(upper position - when I'm lost with google maps!)
Here's how the mount works:

Just added a video link on the cd clot mount. It's Korean made and I bought it from a local shop in Hong Kong. I got this one because the "clip" on the can be removed, and I just use double-side tape to stick the iPad mini's back shelf to the mount to the much cleaner look.
