I didn't realize this thread lived on. WOW! lol. I kinda forgot to come back and post photos of my install. Well, here they are

I pulled the cubby door out. Had to pop off a few things to get there. It was much simpler than I thought it would be. I followed a thread here about stereo removal. **DEFINITELY USE A RAG TO COVER THE SCREWDRIVER WHEN YOU PRY THE RING FROM AROUND THE SHIFTER**

This was the view after I pulled the cubby out. I don't have pics here but I dismantled the spring-loaded hinge. I'd recommend you take photos step by step if you ever plan on getting the hinge back in place. It's a bit of a mess.

I took a regular tablet protective case and flipped the cover over to the back (I guess you could just cut the cover, but I flipped it just so I could keep using it as a regular protector should I ever take all of this back apart). I took some vinyl (from Hobby Lobby, $8 for 2 square yards) and cut slits where the feet are for the tablet protector. Stretched the vinyl around the back of the cubby and held it with mini clamps while the gorilla glue I used dried.

This is what it looks like without the tablet mounted

Eventually I'll pull it back out and mod it to hide the charger cord behind the dash, but right now that's proving to be a bigger challenge than originally thought. I'll post pics whenever I get around to doing that.
