Looks like that bezel is $50 and Android tablets are easily found under $100 so pretty cheap to give it a try.

Dammit, now I've got another project to add to my never-ending list lol

Where did you find the Nav Bezel for $50? I remember trying to search a while back for it and IIRC it was pretty expensive. I just did a quick search now and can't seem to find at that price. 'Preciate the help!

According to (what seemed like) knowledgeable posts I saw on xda-developers , it's a limitation in the OS. That was a long time ago though. I haven't gone back to look since I discarded the idea.

Edit: One thing though - if it is OS related the chinese have solved it since they make Android head units that are capable of bluetooth integration.

I do know of a camp2 sitting around doing nothing if you are truly interested, friend has one and never used it.

Another option is a carPC, basically need to build a small PC that boots with the car and loads straight into the required software. Here is what one guy did in Houston: Link

This is what it looks like:

Once Carbon Signal sold out of their stock for the digital gauges they stopped carrying them and started referring those interested to the company who actually produced them... can't say that I've heard or seen anything in regards to anyone purchasing them since.

I've found 2 ways to do this:
1. Call forwarding if your tablet has a sim card, you can automatically enable call forwarding on bluetooth connection using AutoMagic app.
2. Bluetooth headset with an output jack + Tablet Talk app for android. Your phone will connect to headset via bluetooth, then Tablet Talk allows you to answer the phone from tablet.

Car PC is an overkill you can just get a tablet and a wireless ODB2 adapter

What about a carbon fiber Zoom Engineering Japan rear view mirror with blue tinted convex glass?

I knew this thread would deliver!!!
That vertical tablet install is incredible!! I'm almost disappointed that my Z choices with the Nav unit. Seriously good skills making that mate!

Here is a prototype i've made, it mounts inside the larger bezel which you can then mold together for seamless look, white stuff you see is bondo

I think Nissan may have changed part numbers for this piece.
This is the piece for the OEM Navi:
