Android in my car...... at last

[ashyk36]

The last few days I have been hard at work trying to get an android tablet to fit in my cubby.

 

I was going to buy just a sat nav to put in however the temptation of putting an android tablet in to use for navigation as well as music etc proved too much.

 

From this...

 

To this...

 

Let me know what you think

Looks decent , how did you get around the on/off switch? What tablet is it?

[Yupp]

Looks great, I want to do something similar to replace my Jap screen but not sure on a tablet or dvd/tv/satnav complete units from fleebay.

Was it much hassle to fit?

At the minute the off/on button where the red led is, its stuck to there. Its not great but its the best solution.

 

 

The tablets running honeycomb and is 7 inches.

 

Yes it was tricky.. im pretty good at taking things apart but this was tricky. Getting it and keeping it in place was also tricky, however now ive done it once i could do it with my eyes closed :-D

Very cool, this is how i mounted my Samsung P6200 in my car

 

 

 

 

 

I did it so i can remove the tablet, living in the wonderful country i do lol

 

i love having everything hooked up.

Put Waze on as GPS its brilliant.

I am installing it into my car later on so will post all the piks at the same time later on. If after a few weeks it works like it should then I could do a few for anyone that wants one on here in my free time

Here you go, pictures of both the back and when installed.

Good job any idea off cost and time to do this

[ashyk36]

Itl cost you a tablet, cubby the just a few more pounds for bits and bobs. Only problem is breaking the tablet which I thought i did a couple a of times but luckily it was fine

Some pics of how I hardwired to the front cig lighter

looks

 

id definitely be up for something like that, ive been scratching my head with what to do with mine for a while now.

[pbomb]

Very clever stuff. Not sure where I would even start with something like that

[narcotix]

Great work!

 

Now if you could dismantle it all and put it back together with some pictures of each step that would be great!

 

[taras]

Very nice.

But can you tell us what tablet you're using? Specs?

Also where is the on/off switch? Normally they're hard wired to the edge so how did you over come that?

How are you boosting the sound? Pre-amp?

nice job...does look clean

 

I quite like this....though the practicality of having to take ur iPad out with you each time you went to drive is a bit of a headache
