Tablet Integration Poll

Tenny

I have the Nexus 7, and there's a kernel (Timur's Kernel if you want to search/read more) you can put on it that will have it turn on automatically when it receives power (Car turns on) and then when power goes away (Car turns off) it will shut down and go into a deep sleep mode and can last for a pretty long time. Unless it bricks, you'll never have to use any of the buttons and it can be a fixed installation.

I have the tablet all set up for installation into my car, I just have been trying to find the best way to mount it and also wire it as well. I would certainly try this out if you were to sell it.

Or the internal battery cable is jostled loose during a bumpy car ride and you have to take the whole back off the device to reconnect it

You're not wrong! Though I've not read the cable jostling loose being an issue with most of the tablet installation threads I've read. Mainly occasional freezing that requires resetting. I've seen some people have a small button that acts as the power button to let you reset it without removing the tablet itself.

I think my ideal set up have to be able to easily remove the tablet for updating, or modifying the set up. A company is/was selling a float mount kit that holds the tablet in place using magnets. These were super expensive if I remember right...pay to play i suppose. I think I'd sacrifice some flexibility to get a better price point.

Here's a link to a video of the float mount kit. I believe the one for the Nexus 7 is discontinued, but offered for Ipad mini and air.

The kit in the video like is a kit that I really do not like. It's not at all plug and play and have you seen what they charge for it?? Way over priced.

Yeah, It's not my first choice at all. But I just meant I liked the fact that it is removable. Not trying to take anything away from OP.

Haha, that explains my pains with my Nexus 7 2013 in my Sportage for years, that and so many of my Nexus devices (tablets, phones) had a messed up USB connector.

Will never touch a Nexus product again in my life, think they're discontinued anyways

my nexus 7 always had an issue being recognized by my computer...and it was because of the USB female connector on the tablet...it was a nightmare.

Yeah, they did discontinue both the Nexus 7 and Nexus 9.
