no offense, but that looks horrible. i would never mod a 30-40k car with that kind of setup. id rather do some fiberglass/bondo work to make a nice mount. this looks amateur at best. :roflpuke2:

If you don't like it, shut your mouth and move along. "No offense"

It does look amateurish. Needs a bit more polishing before I think about buying.

For just the mount that is steep. I have no doubt that the quality will be anything but, SUPERB. I guess we shall wait and see.

fantastic, i cant get over our avatar. thats tayla, a girl i used to bang when i lived in milwaukee lol.

how slow is the torque app off the nissan obd? i had torque pro on my lotus before my motor swap and it was fast with the lotus setup, but slow once the honda motor got in there.

yah, i would consult with bigaudiofanat on what he recommends for the
finishing touches... he's done A LOT of stereo installs and would probably have
good input or resources where to go from there.

for $370 i would make my own.

if that was $35 (aka price of metra trim kit or something) then i might consider buying it as a starting point.

the idea is good btw.

I have my Nexus 7 connected to my Bose head unit through a USB DAC which frees up my Bluetooth for OBD and also gives much higher quality audio connection. I mostly stream Pandora or Rhapsody from WiFi, but could just as easily save my music on my Nexus 7 or even just put it on a thumb drive and plug into USB Hub.

To describe in more detail, I have a OTG Y-cable coming off the Nexus 7 with one leg of the Y connected to the USB Hub output. The other leg connects to the 2A charging port on the USB hub. The USB DAC input connects to one of the hub inputs, and the USB DAC output connects to the Aux-In input of the head unit through a standard 3.5mm stereo cable. Since my Bose head unit did not include a rear Aux-In input, I patched one in which was very simple to do.

I have to point out that this configuration requires installing a custom ROM described here. This enables the Nexus 7 to simultaneously charge and operate in Host mode for the USB hub. It also enables the USB audio.

Besides selling the tablet mounting bezel, I am planning to offer kits that provide this unique capability, and I'm currently working on the website which will provide step-by-step guides for completing the full installation and expect to have this open by July 4th.

that all makes sense. Only issue I see in my setup is that sometimes... The USB input cable that is connected to the kenwood DNX7140 doesn't always recognize the USB devices and reads an error message along the lines of "USB 1.1 not recognized". What I really need is to talk to an audio/kenwood expert on this. I do know that the unit is a couple years old now and that it was compatible with the ipods and iphones that were out during that time. maybe it has something to do with that. It also makes me think twice of purchasing a tablet for that reason alone.

Price drop alert

My 3D printer has reworked their pricing model which has enable me to drop the UNFINISHED Tablet Mounting Bezel from $300 to $185. This is offered for the DIY guys looking to save money or that want a different finish.

You can find more details at my website or PM me with your questions.
