Hello all, I am the original poster of this thread. If you look at post 1 you can see where I started. It was a little crude but has worked great. Mostly on Spotify, Torque, and google maps. I started with a 7" LG G Pad on my AT&T acct. Well I just got the 8" Gpad and thought I would see how that fit. I took the dash apart for the (lost count) times and pulled the 7" LG out and tried fitting the 8" LG in and whoa it fit perfect. No gaps (well maybe 1/4 inch at the top but that' all. Put a block of wood to hold it in place and I think it looks a lot better.
You know sometimes you have to try things a few times before you get it right. I got some comments about the 7" G pad with the rubber case looking like crap. And I agree it was cheezy. But I think this will be better. And I like having a tab on 4G network. Anyway I have a few pics. I will post more tomorrow when the light is better in the garage. Here goes and don't be afraid to hurt my feelings. I was a Elec Tech at the Postal Service for 32 years so I don't have feelings any more
