this just seems like a terrible idea. i mean why even bother? you can't see the temp, the fan settings, none of the features the nav comes with.. i mean..... wtf. it's such an integral piece.
points for creativity i guess

Doesn't affect sound. It's like plugging an Ipod or something in.
As far as temp and fan speed go, I know cold is cold and hot is hot! Turn the fan speed to low, it stays low... Turn it up, it goes up!
If you are like me and got stuck with the factory NAV unit (i see it as a burden) you have no choice but to completely change everything when you want to address one issue. User interface is useless in these NAV pieces because it is constantly outdated because of how fast the app world moves with tablets and smart phones. All information you actually need from that unit is already displayed and set using the gauge on the left side of the cluster, so that's that.
Now, If you like using your factory NAV better than using siri or google maps then don't put a tablet in... I also like to watch movies, music videos, play games etc (not necessarily while I drive obviously) perhaps on lunch breaks and such, so this works out great for me.
I have more music capabilities with the tablet vs. the NAV screen, I have the capability to run any and all applications available on the android market I can even create an alarm system with this tablet if I wanted to. I can pt a new background screen on the tablet for every page i'm on rather than the radio station or map, I can track a laptime and monitor how I'm driving on each corner with the tablet... Can you do that with your factory NAV unit?
I don't care about the simple mundane functions all cars can do, I unlock new ways (usually better ways) to update and create a better driving experience for myself. Did your factory NAV unit update when the new street was made or the new highway connection was completed? No... unless you paid $200 to update it, lol
Sorry... you asked lol
