Really isnt that much to it! Just helped out with another install for guy down here in San Diego with a WRX. Same tablet and everything, turned out great.

 

I know this is a little resurrected, but I've been debating between a Tablet install or a full-out CarPC install.

Is your Alpine sub installed, and how does it sound?

What was your solution for bluetooth hands-free?

 

Ok you setup is SICK! I might have to try this with mt Lexus! Do you get obd2 info?

 

Do you worry about moisture or if it gets cold?

 

Use Tune in radio its free and has local stations

 

thanks! and yup using the torque app

nope. only thing I worried about was heat in the summer. When I do it again it will be a setup which can be easily removed so i can take the tablet with me.

 

Hey man, I was wondering of doing something like this. I have Pioneer AVH-7500DVD with Infinity BassLink that crapped out on me. It won't read CD's anymore and instead of buying a new head unit, I was thinking of just getting one of the Samsung Tabs that are much cheaper than compared to a new headunit.

I already have a double din dash kit so all i would have to buy is a tablet. What are your thoughts on the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 or the Nexus 7? Would either of this work fine? Also you wanted to make the tablet removable/ detachable. how are you planning on doing this? I would love to watch you do this so i can do it on my own car.

 

I am envious. I opted out and went with Pioneer's AppRadio, because it relays my iPhone's screen and is a little simpler to use. GREAT WORK!

 

Id like to suggest two options if you plan on going this route. A DSP (digital Signal processor)

JBL MS8 (powered too not the strongest 20x6 or 7 irrc @ 4ohms 30@2)

Only needs 2 rca's to make to make a surround system and tunes, and adjust time alignments and alot more.


Mini DSP

There are alot more DSP's to buy but these are the best values IMHO.

I didnt look into the MS8 until now. I knew about it but the fact its powered is awesome, or it could be bypassed to an external amp.

 

sorry for the bump but I was wondering if you ever looked into mounting it in the cubby? When the door is open there is a 3 inch flat spot that i feel it would mount to easily and with perhaps a little modification you could just close the cubby and PRESTO stock look...since it's attached to the cubby door and all.. just a thought.

I have done some measurements and the tab 2 7.0 should fit?
