Check my journal for more pics, page 9

Awesome! Thanks for the info!

Ron please let us know what parts you used for that. Also are you willing to make a few kits to sell to us? Man you can make a killing selling them, i know i would buy one. PM me details when you get a chance, i know you are a busy man! Thank you so much in advance sir, and i wish you nothing but the best in all your projects.

Here's where I'm at now... I need to find a thin enough screen or somehting to fill that hole.

Ron · 04-27-2012, 08:29 PM

Good job!

LakeShow · 04-27-2012, 09:14 PM

Wow nice job. Fits perfect.

Thechidz · 04-27-2012, 10:24 PM

That looks really really nice. You should get a new stereo

f00d4tehg0dz · 04-27-2012, 10:30 PM

Thanks guys! Ron was a huge help. I plan on posting a DIY for all the people that want to do tablets in the upper chubby.

That is so effen awesome. All of you that are going through with this, I hope everything goes smoothly & turns out perfectly. Mad props to all of you.

Jacknasty33 · 06-21-2012, 09:34 PM

What have you been doing when it freezes up? I have an android phone and I love it, but it inevitably requires a hard boot now and then. Any easy way to access the switch?

I've been looking to do something similar but I'm worried about the lockups. Definitely the cheapest way to get spotify integrated though!

Any pics of the installation into the nav bracket?

twinturbonet · 06-22-2012, 08:59 AM

nice

bdavis89 · 06-22-2012, 09:42 AM

You could probably get the PLX Kiwi or some other app, and connect the tablet to the OBDII port to get read outs and info when you wanted. Now THAT would be saweet. DO IT.
