Default DIY: Galaxy Tablet Cubby Project

Sup brothers! So after hours of searching through the forums and youtube, I couldnt find a good cost effective tablet cubby install. I wanted to install a tablet inside the cubby while being able to close the dash door and have space in the cubby for storage. I found that the 7 inch galaxy tab has the perfect screen size for this install. The interior cubby dimensions are 3.375 inch by 6 inches which comes out to 6.88 diagonal which is almost 7 inch. I figured I cut cut a hole for the home button on the right portion and have a little ~3inch pen glued to the home button so i can access it easily. The volume and power button will not be used. Volume and power can be controlled by screen. As for AUX, Im guessing the simplest way would be to run the aux cable behind and to the side of the radio coming out and plugged into the aux input. And somehow tap into the passenger cigarette lighter to power the tablet charger. The tablet does not get into the way of anything and fits perfect behind everything. Only thing I need to do now is to find a way to attach it to the back of the cubby. I will post with the finished product soon.

Advice needed from you guys:
1. Any way to hardwire the aux behind the factory touring radio?
2. Easy way to get power behind the radio?
3. How would I attach the screen to the cubby?

PM me for instructions & photos for wiring in a rear AUX-IN connector. Also, I sell a Y-Cable that connects to the Triple Gauge connector to bring BAT, IGN (switched 12V) and GND out.
