Above is a quick walk-through video of my setup. Sorry for the crappy cellphone video, I was just sitting in the car and figured I might do a quick video, I might do a better one at some point in time.
The tablet is a Nexus 7 (2012) running a custom rom, Autodroid 1.2. The tablet is connected to the car through my isimple gateway with a 3.5mm. The tablet is mounted using molding putty to form a gasket around the tablet that holds it in place. I got this idea from another member OOg and it turned out great! That putty is awesome lol. I also soldered long wires onto the Nexus 7 buttons to extend them to the lower cubie in case I ever need them. I wish I had taken more pictures along the way but I was too excited as I was doing it. Below are the few that I did manage to take along with some screenshots from the tablet. If you have any questions I'll be happy to answer.
Here is a list of the major software and apps on the tablet to have it setup how I have it:
- Apex Launcher Pro
- Power Widget Light
- CoPilot GPS
- GMD GestureControl (for the gestures in the video)
- Rocket Player
- Tasker
- Texdroider DPI (to change screen scaling)
- AutoDroid 1.2 (Custom ROM)
My list of hardware (Links):
- 6 foot micro-usb to usb cable
- 6 foot audio extension cable 3.5mm male > 3.5mm female
My future plans are to add a for better sound quality and a to program the stock buttons to interact with the tablet.
