Dang Doug you are the man you sir got some mad craftsmenship skills its no wonder that your the owner and manager of Sound Man car audio . That device may be a pain in the butt but it will save lives and keep the cop away .
I enjoy watching these... It gives me ideas i wish i could do and hope i can do in the future... I can relate to these videos because I install audio on the side for my friends and I enjoy it
Yes even though the surface pro has a 1.7ghz chip and the sound blaster pro needs a 2.2 ghz to work (so they say) this works. This unit gives you the use of 5.1 surround with volume mute control. Volume limiter EQ sum what off a cross over and a little more. It has a clean crisp output for multiple amps.
In Washington state, your first dui may involve; an ignition interlock device which costs about 100 bucks for install plus 100 bucks a month to rent the device on top of monthly probation costs. All the while you're probably paying off a few hundred in court fees and a fine of up to five thousand dollars. And, don't be late for your rehab classes once a week at least, that you have to pay for also.
I like this new version where you tell us what happens next week... But that'll mean that you'd have to keep the episode back for one week so you pretty much have a 50/50 scenario.
Looks great, removing the head unit doesn't take away the sync function? Are you able to use a hot spot and get maps to work, stream Xbox music, all those fancy apps via Bluetooth??
You guys should really include soundcloud links in the description from the artists whos songs you use. I've discovered plenty of new artists thanks to you guys
I like the surface install. I have a surface and a 13 sierra (w/o bose). Any way to incorporate all into the surface for full control of the audio system? Can I input a dvd player to the surface to watch videos along with pairing my phone for internet connectivity? Steering wheel controls, etc.? I want the surface screen, but want it to function as the head unit. I'm installing 2-3 amps, crossover and 2 10's. Is there an interface/windows app that would work with GM? Any advice would be appreciated.
head unit part shouldn't be a big issue. just need a audio breakout cable(3.5mm to rca) and a decent equalizer because they usually can control 3-4 amps and change the hertz each get for signal which will allow the use of the multiple amps and different functions such as you are looking for
I am in the process of putting in a surface pro in to a Audi a6 c5. In my install I will be using a usb sound blaster pro sound card and aftermarket amps (American base vfl 400.1 and a sq 925). My issue is how do you get the unit to power on and off with the ignition?
a small power inverter (really low amp 12v one) you solder right into the cigarette lighter lines that shuts off when ignition is off. Or, the exact inverters do come with a + - switch port that you simply connect to any line that shuts off simultaneity with the ignition (AC panel, windshield defroster button....)
Youssef Cherqaoui The power inverter will supply power to the charger...but how do you actually get the surface to turn on without hitting the power button on it?
I'm not quite familiar with Surfaces settings, but I know that whenever time you plug an Ipad to a power charger, the screen turns own automatically. (You can change the settings to permanently keeping the screen on while it's in charging mode)
What tablet would you recommend to install in a 2013 GMC Yukon XL 1500 SLT. It needs to be linked up to the second row console, the steering wheel controls and the backup camera. I don't care for data as long as I can use Sygic app, bluetooth and possibly HD radio and Sirius XM. Thanks Doug.
I would love to see more on how tablets interface and screen layouts and controls And back up cameras. I think people would like to see stuff like that before they commit to buying and installing. I love the idea of a surface but there is a lot to consider.
awesome mod guys, only drawback would probably be the fact that there's no LTE in surfaces, that being said it's quite easy to teather your phone / another mobile hotspot device to it, plus with surface mini's coming out it should make your guyses job easier (guyses, hehehe) awesome stuff
My oldest brother had to have one of those Drunk Boxes put on his truck. As we was driving, he would have to blow to prevent his truck from turning off.
hey can anybody answer i dumb question for me. when i fiberglass my projects always seem to put off alittle heat. i assume it was because of the mixing of the resin. i know soundman wraps the tablets but he puts the glass on it, does it not get the tab hot. im afraid to do it.....
I don't understand why everyone is complaining about the iPad installs. That is kinda what they are known for so I bet a lot of their customers are iPads,nexus, Samsung tablets. I'd rather see that then Rafa installing a Sony Headunit or Jordan installing some basic speakers. If I wanna see simple stuff I can just do that myself.
I’ve started to see possibilities. If openpilot comes to Ford, the surface can be plenty powerful to support multiple cameras instead of putting all the stress on the one plus phone.
I would of went with a Dell Venue 11 Pro 7130 or 7139 with a Huawei ME906V LTE Card in it. Than, mount the Dell Venue 11 Pro dock in the car with the dock powered by an inverter. The dock will charge the tablet and provide wired audio out and allow the venue 11 Pro to be removed. The Dock also has 2 video outs, 1 display port and 1 HDMI. The Huawei ME906V LTE adds 3G/LTE/GPS to the Dell Venue 11 Pro. There's a slot for it inside the battery cover. I also got a 512GB SSD upgrade for mine.
jekagan Hum, I don't know, I have the 7130. I thought they were both the same. On mine, I removed the battery cover and the WWAN slot just had a plastic cover screwed into the socket as the tear down video showed. The cover is right next to the SSD..
Keith Smith Nope, not the same. The 7139 is thicker and the back of the case obscures both the SSD and WWAN slots. Sadly, Dell does not have a disassembly video for this as they do with the 7130.
jekagan Ah, fun, there's probably screws and most likely need that plastic prying tool to undo the clips around the edge of the screen to pull the whole plastic backing off.
Keith Smith just cause you seem knowledge in this area wander if you can share some wisdom. i found that my phone audio is much much better over bluetooth than over the wired aux audio connection in my cars. I attribute that to the fact that my phone only has the headphone output which is only a left and right audio were the bluetooth you can utilize the full surround sound system but im not really sure. it could also be the fact that i use the BT on my new Rav4 vs aux of the old Camery. So to keep in that mind set how would you get the most out of your devices audio? hdmi cable? cause those new devices such as the Surface dont have the 5-6 audio output cards that you would need to get all the different channels.
The Win.Surface tabket was dope. iPad set up was lame. I dont say that just because iOS is CRAP either, but if thats what the customer wanted, so b it.
USB GPS, BLUETOOTH GPS. If you get surface with 8 pro instead of RT (gay version) you can use desktop apps on it, usb host .. awesome. You can hook up multiple webcam's through the usb, front and rear cameras.
I used to love the longer episodes ....no matter who "sneaked up in them "....please make then longer again !!
I would go mental and shout from the roof tops for this, but I have no idea how far apart they are? Love Steve, he's such a charitable guy.
Dang Doug you are the man you sir got some mad craftsmenship skills its no wonder that your the owner and manager of Sound Man car audio . That device may be a pain in the butt but it will save lives and keep the cop away .
I liked the previews for what's coming up next week. That's cool man.
You guys are always on the super clean installs, good message .
I appreciate your craft
I had the same idea after the surface pro came out but in a 2012 Colorado and I see I got my work cut out for me. love yalls install real clean.
been wating for this now all week
damn that surface install looks nice
I enjoy watching these... It gives me ideas i wish i could do and hope i can do in the future... I can relate to these videos because I install audio on the side for my friends and I enjoy it
Doug you guys not only install some of the coolest shit in existance, but that drunk driving message was very cool. You fuckers rock!!!!
Drive Sober or Get Bent Over, that needs to the slogan.
You have such a big heart helping inner city children with out education work at your shop! Rafa is one of the lucky ones.
You guy do some of the best work.
Wish there was a place like this on the east coast.
I hear the Microsoft Surface really has a good aspect ratio for proper bangin on it dawg
Man we need longer episode's you guys went from 30 to 20 now 10 mins wtf I guess next time it will be 5 min episode's lol keep up the good work.
Yes!!! Very pleasantly surprised!
I would love to see u guys install a ipad mini in new body style GMC Sierra or Chevy Silverado. Keep up the great work!!!
Yes even though the surface pro has a 1.7ghz chip and the sound blaster pro needs a 2.2 ghz to work (so they say) this works. This unit gives you the use of 5.1 surround with volume mute control. Volume limiter EQ sum what off a cross over and a little more. It has a clean crisp output for multiple amps.
finally someone got smart and got a tablet installed instead of ipad
Shorter episodes are better than no episodes :D
30 minutes of tablet installs? I'm good........ maybe if they started doing some nice crazy custom systems I'd be totally for it.
"Drive sober or get bent over". The best anti drink driving campaign ever. It really grabs your attention.
In Washington state, your first dui may involve; an ignition interlock device which costs about 100 bucks for install plus 100 bucks a month to rent the device on top of monthly probation costs.

Very cool install on the F150. Can you do an install of either an iPad 9.7 pro or an Surface go on a 05 4RUNNER?
Looks great, removing the head unit doesn't take away the sync function? Are you able to use a hot spot and get maps to work, stream Xbox music, all those fancy apps via Bluetooth??
Now that you future other shops. will the episodes be longer?
please say yes!!!!!!!
Thumbs up to see more Nexus 7 installs!
Only 10 minute episode? Come on guys! Oh, and another thing, you guys posted this early huh? Needless to say I enjoyed this.
Go the mighty Navara! (frontier) what breed was that reverse camera?
"Drive sober or get bent over" xD lmao
Great job dude!
You guys should really include soundcloud links in the description from the artists whos songs you use.
I've discovered plenty of new artists thanks to you guys
great work!
You guyz rock!!!
You guys are hilarious keep it up!!!!!

Longer webisodes! Com ON Soundman. Ps, sorry about the Lakers Doug :( or Laygirlz lol
great show

Ok when can you install the newer version in my 2014?? Yet, how much???
what's the name of the rear-view camera system/package you guys used????
Cool ! Wuts the first song ?
I would love to see more on how tablets interface and screen layouts and controls And back up cameras. I think people would like to see stuff like that before they commit to buying and installing. I love the idea of a surface but there is a lot to consider.

Great webisode btw
How is anyone supposed to be able to get it out of there to recharge the battery? It looks really pinched.
What Company do you go through for ignition interlock device
Did that little piece count as an iPad install? In other words, was it over $800?
Yea were against drunk driving but we install distracting tablets in cars lmao
Is it possible to patch in a video line from an iPad install to my 2 headrest monitors?
do you guys ever use capacitors?
damn doug u do nice work wow
ray encorporated the sync with an ipad lol
hey can anybody answer i dumb question for me. when i fiberglass my projects always seem to put off alittle heat. i assume it was because of the mixing of the resin. i know soundman wraps the tablets but he puts the glass on it, does it not get the tab hot. im afraid to do it.....
Am watching this on my car tablet while drinking Apple juice. Btw, I had interlock before.
ignore Haterz you lose one subscription and gain 20 more. no loss bro.. keep doin you thang.
Can you install a tire inflator with that drunk box?
I don't understand why everyone is complaining about the iPad installs. That is kinda what they are known for so I bet a lot of their customers are iPads,nexus, Samsung tablets. I'd rather see that then Rafa installing a Sony Headunit or Jordan installing some basic speakers. If I wanna see simple stuff I can just do that myself.

9:16 howd you d othat install
Honestly I want to see a similar setup to my dream setup. 9 inch headrest monitors running "Android on a Stick"
How would i go on adding a system to this install
Why isn't there anymore Q & A? :)
Yo Doug, great show. Was the Microsoft surface install permanent or was the tablet removable?
is installed permanent it a suks
What a suprise. Another iPad install,
does the surface have offline gps?
I have a surface pro 4 in my F150 raptor..overkill but so fucken mint
I’ve started to see possibilities. If openpilot comes to Ford, the surface can be plenty powerful to support multiple cameras instead of putting all the stress on the one plus phone.
Well, they've gained my subscription :)
10 bucks that PSA is part of someones at Soundman's community service.
Navigation app? SP doesn't have gps chip.
+JOMY M bluetooth gps chips are available. I think he was also referring to later models.
how much for a dd1 tune once my system is done? =)
Rafa rules !!!
one like and one new subscriber :) you guys are awsome true artists of the auto trade. ( put something in the Volvo C30 T5 ! )

Keith Smith How do you get at the WWAN slot in the 7139? The disassembly isn't nearly as easy as the 7130.
jekagan Hum, I don't know, I have the 7130. I thought they were both the same. On mine, I removed the battery cover and the WWAN slot just had a plastic cover screwed into the socket as the tear down video showed. The cover is right next to the SSD..
Keith Smith Nope, not the same. The 7139 is thicker and the back of the case obscures both the SSD and WWAN slots. Sadly, Dell does not have a disassembly video for this as they do with the 7130.
jekagan Ah, fun, there's probably screws and most likely need that plastic prying tool to undo the clips around the edge of the screen to pull the whole plastic backing off.

just cause you seem knowledge in this area wander if you can share some wisdom.
i found that my phone audio is much much better over bluetooth than over the wired aux audio connection in my cars. I attribute that to the fact that my phone only has the headphone output which is only a left and right audio were the bluetooth you can utilize the full surround sound system but im not really sure. it could also be the fact that i use the BT on my new Rav4 vs aux of the old Camery.
So to keep in that mind set how would you get the most out of your devices audio? hdmi cable? cause those new devices such as the Surface dont have the 5-6 audio output cards that you would need to get all the different channels.
GREAT MESSAGE @ 5:31
Why do the episodes keep getting shorter and shorter?
hey smart guy the surface tablet runs windows. there are plenty of usb gps and modems available
Woooooooo!!!!# developers!!! developers!!!! developers!!!!# woooooooooo!!!!
i like how you do whit without wearing any protection >.
They normally use a model of the tablet.
Nice
what if someone else blows the drunk box LOL
DA BACK HEADLIGHTS. JAJA NO MAMES RAFA..COOL CAT
My dad has one of them breathalizers lol
too much ipad installs theyre cool but when do we see amps, stereos, subs getting installed again love the show?
I get it... So if you get pulled over, then you go to jail , or possibly prison. You would then be bent over inside of the prison... ohhhh lol
The Win.Surface tabket was dope. iPad set up was lame. I dont say that just because iOS is CRAP either, but if thats what the customer wanted, so b it.
their a gps app named copilet
Rafa:Niiiisan
USB GPS, BLUETOOTH GPS. If you get surface with 8 pro instead of RT (gay version) you can use desktop apps on it, usb host .. awesome. You can hook up multiple webcam's through the usb, front and rear cameras.
