    Oh damn so many things to do. I have a 2002 Ford Expedition that has the same exact dash. I got a cheap 75 dollar android dash tablet from geek app and wired it in with the included wires that came with it. The only modification I had to do to my car was a lil bit of shaving to the plastic where the stock stereo was installed. End result was a completely flush tablet display that looks like it came stock with the car. Tablet has been installed for 3 years now and its still running really good. So good that I much prefer the features it has and display quality compared to the stock display on my 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. The tablet even came with a back up cam which has way better quality and night vision compared to most back up cams on more modern cars.
    But damn you sure got some skill and patience to complete a project like this one. Thumbs up for you man.

    Question. Why did you use a wireless charger instead of just usb?

    • @TaylorMartinVideos
      @TaylorMartinVideos 8 лет назад +21

      •Finn• There was no space to plug in a USB cable. The alternative was wireless charging or hacking into the back of the tablet and rerouting the USB port.

    • @AdamOutler
      @AdamOutler 8 лет назад

      Isaiah PEz​ you can see it did already. He used a pair of pliars to crimp. Cut to the next scene, they obviously fell apart, because wire taps... Which destroys the shielding of the wire, creates a weak point, and is used improperly.

    • @JosephAguirre
      @JosephAguirre 8 лет назад +6

      This is totally the hard way... Try using a multimeter to find switched power rather than trying different fuses

    • @JoeAvery
      @JoeAvery 8 лет назад +1

      Ha-ha, with years of car audio I can say making a video of this and making as universal as possible is next to impossible.
      Also after having some experience in this, every summer day you'll spend a half hour waiting for it to cool off enough.
      So for anyone interested in this, drop me a line. The best way I've determined to handle powering it is with a adjustable 3.7 volt regulator. Connect that to constant. Take the battery out cut off the battery and use the connector. This way you can use the USB port for things. See fit the most part you cannot USB otg and charge. (You can with the right hardware and with the right software).
      Also use a TEC on the back with some tempature regulation would be wise.
      Personally I've install an amp and a Bluetooth and connect whatever phone or tablet I want. I have a giant hole in my dash and I'm happy as can be!

    • @RickBlake
      @RickBlake 8 лет назад

      Sadly, my N7 '13 doesn't like polarized sunglasses in landscape mode. Otherwise, it would be a fabulous car tablet.
      Oh, and the Phoenix sun. It would have to be a dock, not a semiperm install. Romantic concept tho. In the real world, consumer tablets are just not auto-grade.

    How to install a tablet on your car! (easier & simpler version)
    1. buy a tablet/phone mount that fits to your device.
    2. attach the mount into the dashboard
    3. put your tablet into the mount
    4. plug the aux cord into the tablet.(Optional)

    • @Sal12538
      @Sal12538 7 лет назад +8

      Some states like Oregon are amending their distracted driving laws however to make any portable non-permanently mounted device illegal to touch while operating the vehicle. Oregon has gone so far as to dictate jail time for repeat offenders, with the first offense topping out at a $1000 fine.

      What OS would you install on it? Would be cool if there was a custom firmware for the PI for cars.
      If I was to do this I would make sure it could have access to
      -Dab/FM radio
      -Netflix and TV (Entertainment)
      -Cars information e.g. MPH and report damages and show the user. Engine codes and stats. Tire Pressure.
      -Bluetooth for phones to connect to.
      -Maps and GPS.
      -USB for mp3s or charger.
      -An internet connection.
      -Access to dashcam and reverse cam.
      -Allow HDMI input to plug in a Chromecast or other devices.
      -Remote start with voice or with a phone.
      -Weather Information.
      -Wi-Fi Hotspot for other users of the car
      Would take time to add all this tho.

    oh man, this is way too complicated. I have a casette player in my car, so I used a car audio casette with a 3.5mm jack cable which i attached to the tablet (sound), i bought a usb charger to fit in the cigarette lighter (to keep it charged) and finally, a tablet holder.
    So: tablet holder + audio casette with 3.5mm cable + usb charger = around 15$

      right, you can still use your tablet via USB or AUX, the only reason I recommended it is cause I have used that cassette with 3.5 jack thing and it sounds bad lol even with good speakers, quality sound the only reason I think one should upgrade, but if your happy then its all good

    Man I'm trying to figure out how to do this, its pretty rough now. The aftermarket headunits are either cheap and unreliable or crazy expensive, I have a spare tablet laying around and wanted to see if i could do it in todays age. But very informative video thanks man 🤙

    You clearly have little experience doing this kind of work, your radio already receives a fused switched live.

      Taylor Martin using a voltmeter or even a 12v light bulb, one could easily find the switched live wire from the ignition

    • @MikeyBe
      @MikeyBe 7 лет назад +6

      You used the existing 12v power source for the amp, To get the best performance out of the amp it was required to have an independent power source, wich is what you did! You then added an additional fused power source for the tablet and blue tooth modual. i.e you inadvertently powered your set up the way it should have been. :)

    Ok one question, Why did you go to the fuse box for a 12v switchable power when all stock radio wire harnesses have on at the plug? They have a 12v constant that keeps the memory live on the deck and is the main power for the deck, it's the large yellow wire, and a 12v switchable, usually the smaller red one, that turns off your radio on /off when you turn the key.

    I'm gonna be doing something like this later on in the year but I'll be going for a much less streamlined more simple install. Just a cheap Hudl with an exomount and bluetooth audio.
    Silly question does wireless charging keep the tablet topped up on long journey's using GPS?

    Nice job on the video. I installed a NEXUS 7 in an '07 Camry about a year ago and the only serious problem I've encountered is the GPS function on Google Maps. The GPS signal is downgraded due to the tablet being installed in the dashboard. The signal strength is degraded to a point where the signal is intermittent and renders GPS navigation too unreliable for use. I've seen a video on enhancing the WIFI signal but not the GPS signal. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi Taylor, love the tablet idea. i have a question that i was hoping you might be able to help with. I'm in the UK and have a 2007 Vauxhall Astra (h) mk5 (SATURN ASTRA IN THE STATES) with a BID display and I want to keep all the audio controls the same from the center console and steering wheel but just change the BID display to a android tablet. Any chance you could help with any information on what to do or how to go about the changes, even maybe what parts i need. any help is welcome and appreciated. thanks from an overseas fan

    Just wondering if you've tackled the power button dilemma, I'm doing the same but worried that the tablet will die after a few days of not being used.... I really don't want to open up the thing to try and extend the power button but I think that may be my only option lol

  • @MikeyBe

    Fantastic tutorial, thank you, My motivation though is to retain the original Head unit while gaining the Bluetooth option so I can utilise my tablet/smartphone for music and GPS. This would be removable and mounted separately, either above or below my head unit.
    Would it be possible to maintain the dual inputs from both the HU and the blue tooth receiver into the Alpine KTP-455U amp by splicing them together? As the amp only appears to have one input either high or low signal.

    • @MikeyBe
      @MikeyBe 7 лет назад

      Found a solution to the above problem, I am going to run the outputs from the Blue tooth module and head unit to a small 3PDT Toggle Switch wich I will mount behind the cassette door, (who uses cassettes). I'm also going to mount a USB female socket here as well to be used as power source for charging and OTG access. My next problem is determining how to Utilise the OTG function and charge at the same time. I may be over complicating things however when I'm finished I will have added Blue Tooth and an amp to my existing OEM Head unit and the addition of my Tablet while maintaining the stock look and CD stacker ability.

    3:35 is re pinning necessary? I believe if the harness you purchase is made for your car you don't need to re pin. Just join/mate the harness you purchased, to the harness for the amp. Then connect it to the harness under the dash.
