Another Tablet Cubby Thread (Nexus 7)

[Dembflyr]

I wanna see pics and video of this when you're done.

Also, there is already a set of wires tapped in behind the passenger outlet. That's where I had gotten power for my radar detector.

I ended up getting it for 84.00 from amazon, and I just got it today in the mail. So with the BlueTooth module I can stream music via (a2dp) I think its called? Im not a huge music buff so if I lose sound quality I wont care.

It comes with the iPod cable and an Auxiliry input cable which is basically just a 3.5mm headphone jack that plugs into whatever has a headphone jack. So that will work. If you decide to add the bluetooth module you will have to give one up (only allows 2 inputs). The bluetooth module is $99, but you might decide to get it because it allows you to skip from the steering wheel and radio controls. With the auxilary you will have to use your tablet to skip, but you can control the volume from the steering wheel.

Dave you need to check out some of the guys that have hacked up the tablet and made it permanent. They solder into the factory buttons and run wires to their steering controls, and/or install roller wheels for control like a carputer. I do not want a permanent install though or I would have tried to go that route for sure.

On another note I ordered the wrong Asus cable (it was late or early..) doh! Im going to try and lay everything out today or tomorrow and get back to removing the Bose deck Friday.

Yes, with the bluetooth module you can stream via a2dp and will be able to skip songs from the steering wheel controls. I notice no audio loss using bluetooth with my iPad mini. Cable or not bluetooth sounds perfect to me.

Not to steal the thread, but I'm doing a N7 mount as well, and I have no idea what to use to fab the cubby. I wrapped it in DiNoc Carbon, but it looks like ****. Have you found a good material to use?

I have not got to much into this part yet. My plan is to use fiberglass/bondo for a factory look. I may then send it to Tony to wrap in CF or try that myself as well.

I have not had much time to really work on it yet so I will be sure to keep everything updated as I go. The method I want to use will probably not work out it is just what I have in my head.

How ever I refuse to have a final product that does not appear to be factory or "rough around the edges". Even if it looks like I done it myself I want to to look clean.
