Android Tablet in Dash Project
 

My next major project I will be installing a nexus 7 as my head unit. Here are some clips I got the idea from.

Very cool concept...make sure you take lots of pics and document the install. I think I'd be more apt to do this then to install a 7" touchscreen headunit. I guess my only question is how is the sound quality vs. a real headunit?

I have an iPad which is permanently in place of my gauge cluster. I am using the dash command app, it looks good and I get a ton of compliments.

Pics?

I got an N7 for Christmas and have been wondering about a good way for integration with the wagon. I'll be watching this thread!

For a tablet with Blue Tooth one of the OBDII readers and Torque Pro app = all set for the needed 'dash board.'

Very cool mod!:twothumbs:

Pics would be awesome.. :thumb:

I will post pics in the next few months, the truck is at a local fabrication shop having a custom back half and rear axle setup/driveshaft done. Here's what It cost me to do the whole setup.

IPAD-$400 wifi only
PLX wifi obd2 connector- $169.00
Permanent power source for IPAD with inverter-$200
Dash Command App-$50.00 (Itunes store)

I will update pics to this thread, I am sure you guys would love it!!

pics? just wondering since its been almost a month since this post.

I use my old HTC droid as a book reader, wifi analyzer, and all 'round pocketable computer, but it'd be kinda neat to set up a dock in my HHR for it, with an OBD transceiver and whatever other functionality I can cram in there.
