Tablet Dash

XPNSD IT

I have seen members post up their tablet dash mod, but wanted to share mine. (Early phase) Still waiting for some parts, but had some time to draw up a sample.

1. Want a latch system so I can remove the tablet
2. Want an OEM finish, will have bezel around tablet to match brushed aluminum of interior. (completely remove cubby)

I really like the R35 digital cluster/gps system and end result will look something like that. My version will stand straight up, not follow the curve of the 370z cubby and be at an angle. Below is a rough draft of parts to be made and parts listed.

Dell Venue tablet 8 with Android OS. One main reason I chose this is the micro usb is on the side, so I can adapt power at the bottom of the case to allow it to slide in, and for $200 after tax and shipping I'm with it: Dell Venue 8 and Dell Venue 11 Pro Tablets | Dell

Latch system (push to open): McMaster-Carr

Some hinges and right angle usb adapter. Will keep updating as time goes on.

Over the weekend I will create a Torque Theme to match the 370z cluster/gauges which I will upload for member to download as well.



Update 12/28/2013: Started creating the guages for the Torque app. This is just a sample to get the ideas flowing, it will be a oil pressure guage, with oil temp as well. Might change that to a digital version of oil pressure for quick glance.



Update 1/4/2014: More of the finished guages on the app. Only 4, Top-left: Intake Air Temp, Top-right: Regular Guage (Speed) Bottom-left: Coolant Temp, Bottom-Right: Fuel Pressure.
