i've had my kit for months, but no access to windows computer means no root. no root means it's still sitting the the box.

I run the brainiac kit along with Radens micro controller to handle all the garbage navigation junk when I removed the touchscreen oem setup.

The kit has its quirks, but it far more robust than running base or touring junk. The $12 app brainiac sells is hot garbage. I csn provide a list of apps I run thst take care of a majority of the things you'll want to easy access to. Like split screen apps, volume controls, and brightness adjustments based off of time and weather conditions.

I think I found an acceptable work around. I turned on the assistive touch control and programmed only one option when you hold it down which is to turn the screen off. It doesn't shut down the tablet, just puts it in sleep mode. When I start the car it automatically wakes back up (I'm guessing from the charge). It sat about 12 hours like this yesterday and it lost 2% charge. Might be worth looking into it.

Assisstaive touch works or you can give nova launcher a try. It has settings to allow gestures on the screen. I have mine set so a double tap with 2 fingers puts it to sleep. Draw a circle clockwise to increase audio. Counter clockwise to decrease.

I tend to go several days at a time without driving so I dunno if it will work for me. Maybe. But I'm probably not going to install the kit until I root it.
