I have been wanting to do this too, since I got a tablet with 4G and bluetooth. It's a Verizon Ellipsis, but it'll do the trick. I have a '13 Base Sport, and wanted to put the tablet in the cubby door location. So I removed the dash trim, removed the cubby door, and double sided taped Neodymium magnets around the back side of the dash trim. I think I used 6 in total. 2 on top and 2 on each side. These came with some very weak square magnets which I taped to the bottom corners of the cubby. The downside with this setup is that you have to put magnets on the back of your tablet in the locations of the dash magnets.

Some photos of my mod are attached. I'm really happy with it, even though you can see a bit of a gap on the bottom. That allows me to pull the tablet out to charge it, turn the volume up and down, and sleep it when I am just listening to music or something.

This mod cost me $17.50 with tax for the 3 packs of magnets and mounting tape, so I will live with the gap and magnets on my tablet.

All apps, and the tablet as a whole, have been running perfectly smooth with the magnets attached.
