Introduction
My Tablet integration into my 370z
Tablet: Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7” (rooted with custom apps running, I.e. xposed installer, busybot, viper4androidfx, etc)
Smart Phone: Sprint Note 4 with custom SprintBobcat rom and rooted (rom comes with wifi hotspot hacked, custom kernel to also tether network through bluetooth).
First and foremost I’d like to thank all others who have attempted this and have been successful in doing so. Your DIY and youtube videos helped me greatly.
Back in mid March I decided I wanted to change up my boring stock head unit (“HU”). My inspiration started from reading Larry’s tablet build on here
Cubby Tablet Mounting Bezel and on his website
http://www.370designz.com/]Nissan 370Z Cubby Tablet Computer.
Long story short, I was very impressed by the quality of his tablet modification into the Z. I also read into other peoples' tablet mod/diy in their Z utilizing the cubby hole. The more I read the more excited I became to want to try this project myself; however, I knew I did not want the tablet anywhere near the cubby, so I Modified the dash trim, tucked the HU all the way to the (I had to tuck the nissan harnesses to make room). The tablet (7") was a perfect fit (which sits in fornt of the stock HU) and on I went to making this project come alive.
DIY coming soon but wanted to go ahead and upload pics.
