Item needed :-

1. Cheapo black casing ~ 15 bucks
2. Cut all leather on that booktype leather casing
3. Buy velcro (with double side tape on it), put it at the back of the casing
4. Take another velcro 2 each and wrap snuggly around your cubby lid. You can remove this velcro anytime or just leave it there like me. NO NEED TO GLUE IT TO CUBBY !!
5. Stick your galaxy tab and try push it downward, that should give it abit of assurance.
6. Buy a bluetooth headset with audio jack out and put into AUX or hardwire into your amp if you have it. Then pair both, mine play stereo via A2DP.

I listen to acoustic music all day long (Had a long list of music vids from Boyce Avenue) and damn it sounds good. I've been driving around with the tab on my car for past 1 month, it doesnt move at all even with my hard spirited driving

. Best thing is, i can remove the tab within a minute, just unhook wire and pull from top.

TAB for me as i have my ipod touch...i'm bored already with ipad and the interface, love my new Samsung Tab...WIFI/BLUETOOTH/HDMI OUT/3G..everything under one hood..the screen is gorgeous !! Now looking for OBD2 plx bluetooth interface so i can pair it

...With the tab, i tend to park my car more and watch movie on it..10.1 FTW !!

Haiyaa if you said like that, i guess i'll have to go to samsung's retailer and try them out lol. how do they response to the touch? fast and responsive like ipad's?

good luck with your search for OBD2 bro

I've got a similar desire to put some sort of useful screen in that cubby. I had pondered a Nexus 7.. a car pc.. or some sort of dedicated obd2 interface (seen a couple). I'm liking the ideas from this thread. Please keep the ideas coming!

I did the dedicated OBD2 system and went a step further and bought the OEM navigation piece. This is a bit more than $150 since it is through Nissan, but I had the custom built option for awhile and wanted something cleaner/OEM looking. Ended up with this:

find a machine shop in your area that does custom work and have them make you a plate that can fit in the oem nav controls spot.

Thats sweet! Looks to be my next project, not bad for a total of $350.00

Nice screen !!..Poor cubby lid

kenchan · 10-19-2011, 09:54 AM

kholy- that actually looks pretty good!

kholy · 09-04-2012, 02:57 PM

Nexus 7 is now the best thing for it... at 200 dollars your local car audio place could prob fab your cubby for around 150 at MOST.... so total 350 and you have badass screen with navi? AWESOME!

im actually going to be changing mine from galaxy 7 to nexus 7 hopefully soon

DeEePiDDy · 09-04-2012, 06:31 PM

What are you going to do about the hole where the oem nav controls would go? I love the idea of putting a screen up in the cubby, but I just haven't seen it pulled off quite right. There's always "something" that turns me away...

theDreamer · 09-05-2012, 10:25 AM

I have a piece of painted plastic which covers the OEM nav controls.
Most people think what I have is OEM, I have had people ask if I could put a 5" touch screen in that spot which could control things, or if you have a carPC it can control the PC.

DeEePiDDy · 09-05-2012, 08:57 PM

Can you post a pic of what it looks like now with the control location covered?
