Any updates yet?

Yea, i just finished a 34hr print that looks good. I'm now test printing back support for tablet, should be finished today or tomorrow. Then the design is going to a local shop for final high quality print that i'll be using for casting. All mold making chemicals are here, i'll be making some test molds this weekend. Casting chemicals are ordered and should be here early next week. if all goes well i'll be making some test casts next weekend.

Everything i have already figured out, ie picking up phone calls on tablet, tablet will wake up and shutdown on ignition via arduino, steering wheel controls hookups for sound...ect, i will probably need a couple of days wire it all up and do a video demo.

Also the only tablet this will work with is sony xperia z2, its an older one and becoming hard to find, once i get some time i'll trying to find something else, the problem is charging and using USB otg function at the same time. z2 tablet has an additional charging port.

Too tight at the top and bottom, one more test print should do it

Would a Chrome OS device work? The Pixel Slate sounds like it might fit the bill as it has multiple USB-C ports (pricey bill though.. and it's pretty big)

I know they can run Android apps from the Play Store, but not sure how they handle APKs.

thats too large and expensive, i haven't tried chrome os yet so i dont know if it will work.

maybe one or 2 test prints more

Waiting for a quote to have this printed in professionally....if it comes out great then i can use it for making the mold, otherwise i'll have to do a layer of bondo then sanding then primer and sanding again....sigh. On the bright side i have everything figured out so that tablet comes on/off with ignition and stays charged, bluetooth support for answering calls...sound is easy via phone jack or usb.

Quote came back a bit high, im going to try myself, its about 6 day print.

I am so excited to see this finished, I sooo want one! Any updates?

Also, if you think that you can get the tablet to turn on and off with ignition, do you think that there is a way to wire in a back up camera when going into reverse? Like hooking the power up to the reverse light that come on?

Any updates yet? Definitely interested.

Do you mind sharing the cad files to print this?

I"ve been printing these, but its about 5 day print...sigh. i will probably make mold and maybe cast them if there is interest send PM

i've been able to get these to turn on/off with ignition and wire in steering wheel controls via joycon. but you have to modify the tablet and a usb cable
