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.
Looks pretty good... U can use Plumbers tape to secure the tablet... Its a steel strap with holes in it that comes in a roll and used all the time in car audio
Domenico Lamberti This is a troll who has followed me from as far back as I can remember who is basically holding me accountable for ruining their life by making a video about overclocking the One M7 because "it haz FOAR COARS AND DOESN'T LAG."
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)
My point exactly.... but the way shown in the video is for people that wanna fit in an old tablet of theirs permanently. Makes sense for some that have the capacity to do such a manual job (not me) lol
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.
•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.
+•Finn• When I did my install I found wireless charging to be unreliable; I had to use a usb cable instead. If you're interested there's a build log here uk-mkivs.net/topic/361785-dash-mounting-google-nexus-7-2013/
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.
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 🤙
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.
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!
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.
Androidauthority Indeed Car audio authority......not so much. hint your o.e.m. stereo you removed had an UNUSED switched fused 12v source right in front if your face!
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$
+Sjuksköterska why not spend $20 and buy a china made head unit, it usually had USB AUX and car reader which makes like a lot easier and sounds not too bad either, I got one installed by the previous car owner and its not bad at all
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
Or get one of those sticky things for the windshield that hold your tablet,connect the tablet to the car charger and an audio jack to the stereo of your car,a lot less work involved.
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.
I have a much simpler way to do this. 1. buy a tablet case. 2. glue the case to a vertical part of your dashboard. 3. put your tablet in. 4. realize how much if a genius I am. I know it's more primitive and less seemless but it's functional and much simpler than this.
its UI is terrible... I've sat in a Tesla... Would've been nice if they had made it more car friendly and less like a computer on the dashboard with terrible Ui
Zachary Bassett first of all, month old comment. Secondly its not rocket science making a UI that is easy to use. They make cars I agree. But the Teslas currently on sale are considered Luxary electric vehicles (due to the high cost). The cost needs to be justified at least. just saying
Salis Salman don't both apple and samsung make a huge tablets now? like the ones in the Tesla? just buy that! no need to deal with a Tesla in that case.
for the old Nexus7 (2012) conect the pogopins for audio and power. A optinal componmand is a Universal steering wheel control interface. and OBD Bluetooth interface.
Should probably disconnect the negative battery terminal just to avoid any possibility of shorting any wires. It is a safe way to work on anything electrical in a car.
good question: If tablet battery is dead (car was standing in a garage for a couple of days) how will you turn the tablet on? The powier button is hidden...
***** Lol I posted it one time braindead kid. I'll block you from here. How does THAT feel? #Rekt #Scrub Who said I was asshurt? You're he one searching for my posts and crying out loud and swearing like a dumb 12 year old. You sound gay btw.
Yo, good job mate! This is genius. Unfortunately my car doesn't let me put a tablet, because there isn't enough space in the dashboard. Would be amazing to get Android Auto like :)
Zach Snyder Yes, yes it could. That's one of the main reasons I wanted this to only be semi-permanent. It didn't come out *exactly* how I wanted, but I will definitely work on it over time.
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. :)
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?
This is pretty cool. I wonder - can you use a OBD2 bluetooth or wifi adapter at the same time as the tunes? I would like to see data from the engine at the same time as playing tunes.
good video, opinions are like....you already know. anyways I had done something similar with my 98 Z28 camaro. I eliminated the head unit, installed a radio delete plate with a magnet behind it (the magnet is from the new style cell phone holders) installed an Harmon Kardon amp with a logitech audio blue tooth adapter, upgraded infinity speakers and new speaker wires from the amp. works flawlessly. my Samsung S6 edge plus sticks perfectly on the radio delete plate. definitely a better choice over the pioneer app 3 radio that I paid for and installed myself on my Acura mdx. $530 for that head unit. never again!
wireless charging creates a bunch of heat, you should have just hard wired it, you could have also put a hidden usb port under the dash to install updates and what not so you don't have to take the tablet out as much
omg what have I been doing with my life thank u so much I can't believe I never thought of that thank u so much and did u ever find a better way to mount the phone/tablet
Nice video...which camera did you use to shoot it? Image quality is astonishig...even from the RUclips, which uses to compress the videos sometimes horribly....
Nice finish for sure, well done! I do have to say though you're speaking to people that are watching and maybe considering this type of install as well that may have a completely different type of vehicle. Not all vehicles have the same gap needed for that tablet to fit nicely behind the bezel or the same rectangular shape and size for a tablet to fit. (Been doing these since the first Samsung Galaxy 8.9" tablet came out in maybe 2014/12015 as well). Cheers!
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.
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.
My stero has bluetooth. I feel like you could just find a phablet or tablet mount for the dash. It wouldn't look quite as good but good enough for sure

Make a video for it for the 2002 ford plzzz
directions not clear... what do I do with my bedroom fan?
For Harambe!
Looks pretty good... U can use Plumbers tape to secure the tablet... Its a steel strap with holes in it that comes in a roll and used all the time in car audio
everytime i hit the brakes my horn sounds. Is that normal?
lmao!!!!
#RRflix on IG yes
#RRflix on IG perfectly normal
Yup
No
Good to see you again, Taylor.
I installed another tablet in another vehicle. Consider this your _part two_, folks!
Taylor Martin Okay Android Authority we get it, you're playing a joke. Hurry up and fire his ass.
WhatDoesntkillYa That's a joke, right?
Domenico Lamberti This is a troll who has followed me from as far back as I can remember who is basically holding me accountable for ruining their life by making a video about overclocking the One M7 because "it haz FOAR COARS AND DOESN'T LAG."
MOD Of course, because that makes all the sense in the world -_- .
perfect use of time.
BTBAM!!!!
Literally THE BEST REVIEW/DIY video EVER!!! SERIOUSLY!!!
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)
My point exactly.... but the way shown in the video is for people that wanna fit in an old tablet of theirs permanently. Makes sense for some that have the capacity to do such a manual job (not me) lol
you miss a point.
just wow
some don't have aux or usb input
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.
Great to see Taylor back on youtube. Missed the fellah!
I never left!
GO TO HELL DIRT BAG, ERIK
Finally an awesome video on this channel! :D
They seem to really like Chinese phones around these parts.
theDefault Yes but that's what makes Android Authority more diverse than other tech channels.
You have a good taste in music! BTBAM rocks!
Question. Why did you use a wireless charger instead of just usb?
•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.
hs
+•Finn• When I did my install I found wireless charging to be unreliable; I had to use a usb cable instead. If you're interested there's a build log here uk-mkivs.net/topic/361785-dash-mounting-google-nexus-7-2013/
I'd rather go with angle usb cable instead of wireless
I suspect the sticky pad will fail in summer so the wireless charger will fall off eventually.
Honestly only clicked on this video because of BTBAM in the thumbnail pic. Good stuff! Great video too!
Thank you taylor for finishing it, i m also into tech projects and love the work you do. Thanks to aa for the publish aswekl
Well, you can look forward to more stuff like this from me here!
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.
So Taylor this is where you went after you left Pocket Now.
You are probably totally out of the immersive thing called Internet for too long my friend
+Swapnil Adhav Some people don't tell you when they are leaving one channel and going to another one. So shut up!
TekReviews you didn't get me. Poor you!
One of the best videos on android authority, great job Taylor !!
After doing this my car went autopilot.!
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 🤙
3:49 android authority guy uses iphone :/
Thats sad? Dude, maybe he has another job somewhere, must be his work phone. Could be anything.
there's an android there as well mate it could be a mate phone so he could see pic
What's wrong with iPhones
nothing, but the channel is called "Android Authority"
He had needed another phone for the wiring charts and probably had an iPhone from a comparison close by. Whats wrong with that?
You have the chi flow of a Kung Fu genius. Great job.
This video should be titled: *How not to crimp, how to do things the hard way, and what tools/materials not to use, demonstrated.*
Plus polarized lenses black out the screen in landscape mode on both my 2012 and 2013 N7's
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.
This is totally the hard way... Try using a multimeter to find switched power rather than trying different fuses
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.

dude u made this look waaaay easy. but i have a gmc and like most everything else the good old General Mistake Company makes everything so difficult.
I did everything like the video said, but I accidentally split the atom. :)
RIP
Which one?
Let's have a moment of silence for the atom
That's how Earnest Rutherford did it.
Looks easy, what if for some reason u have to press power ON button ?
Instructions not clear, got the exhaust system next to the steering wheel.
One of most useful tutorials I've seen, i followed as you said and bought a nexus 1
😇
after two minutes i just wanted to see the final results and move on with my life
4 years later, were you able to??
🤣
A couple of hours is a bit ambitious, but that was really well detailed procedure :)
How do you use spotify or GPS when your driving?
WoW Taylor keep your MODs going
Androidauthority Indeed Car audio authority......not so much. hint your o.e.m. stereo you removed had an UNUSED switched fused 12v source right in front if your face!
This is the kind of video that I expect to watch from A.A team. #nicejob
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$
+Sjuksköterska why not spend $20 and buy a china made head unit, it usually had USB AUX and car reader which makes like a lot easier and sounds not too bad either,
I got one installed by the previous car owner and its not bad at all
Umar Rauf because i can take the tablet with me so it doesn't temptate the thieves, i can use it as gps.. mainly that's why
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
Umar Rauf :) thank you. You're right about the sound, but it doesn't bother me.
same here 99 accord
Or get one of those sticky things for the windshield that hold your tablet,connect the tablet to the car charger and an audio jack to the stereo of your car,a lot less work involved.
2:35 And don't forget the COFFEE!
was waiting for part 2 on your channel i guess the wait is over lol
I'm thinking about putting a raspberry pi in my car
Nabre Labre I've had apple pie and pumpkin pie in mine, but never raspberry.
Nabre Labre do it
I wonder how hard it would be to hook it up to my newish head unit...
I just installed one in my truck yesterday. It works great.
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.
Glad to see Taylor here.
Great video, very well explained.
You are so neat!!! all the cable management is great! Everyone I've watched are so messy!
Sugru really sounds like "Subaru" lol
i thought it was subaru😂
This is the first time I've ever heard of this Channel, and just because you had BTBAM on the screen I subbed.
Stay proggy my friend.
If you want someone who actually knows about cars to tell you how to do this go to the mighty car mods tutorial
you are absolutely right they are so good in this kind of stuffs
Great to see you Taylor, Looks like you lost some weight.
Hey can i do this to my ferrari?
I envy guys who can do DIY projects like this.....well done!
All I need is a phone and an aux cord and my eyes on the road.
I have a much simpler way to do this.
1. buy a tablet case.
2. glue the case to a vertical part of your dashboard.
3. put your tablet in.
4. realize how much if a genius I am.
I know it's more primitive and less seemless but it's functional and much simpler than this.
buy a Tesla, that car comes with a installed tablet LOL
its UI is terrible... I've sat in a Tesla... Would've been nice if they had made it more car friendly and less like a computer on the dashboard with terrible Ui
the entire car is terrible
Salis Salman, mate, they make cars, not brilliant UIs.
Zachary Bassett first of all, month old comment. Secondly its not rocket science making a UI that is easy to use. They make cars I agree. But the Teslas currently on sale are considered Luxary electric vehicles (due to the high cost). The cost needs to be justified at least. just saying
Salis Salman don't both apple and samsung make a huge tablets now? like the ones in the Tesla? just buy that! no need to deal with a Tesla in that case.
for the old Nexus7 (2012) conect the pogopins for audio and power. A optinal componmand is a Universal steering wheel control interface. and OBD Bluetooth interface.
This is all fine until the tablets battery explodes because of the heat inside a cars dash in summer
I very seriously doubt that would happen
Not going to happen.
hey as long as u don't buy those cheap Chinese one u be fine
so true
What about the expensive Chinese ones though
Should probably disconnect the negative battery terminal just to avoid any possibility of shorting any wires. It is a safe way to work on anything electrical in a car.
good question: If tablet battery is dead (car was standing in a garage for a couple of days) how will you turn the tablet on? The powier button is hidden...
Taylor! Haven't seen you in a while since your last pocketnow video. Looking good mate!
This video should have been in HowToBasic......
+1 if you agree
***** Lol I posted it one time braindead kid.
I'll block you from here. How does THAT feel? #Rekt #Scrub
Who said I was asshurt? You're he one searching for my posts and crying out loud and swearing like a dumb 12 year old. You sound gay btw.
Total Faith Wtf you posting in my comment lol.
Artem needs to see that post btw. Let him know.
***** Nobody can ever 'hurrrr' your comment as it is deleted lol.
Total Faith I like where your stupidity is going....."try again".
Total Faith Lol ok, I guess you are gay.
Peace.
*Gay lord confirmed.*
Taylor, you did a fantastic job. But where is your CD player. Did you sacrifice your CD player?? I would be lost without it.
Gio048 Thanks! And I haven't used CDs since … 2006 or 2007?
Did I spot an iPhone there? THE CARDINAL SIN ON THIS CHANNEL!
Yo, good job mate! This is genius. Unfortunately my car doesn't let me put a tablet, because there isn't enough space in the dashboard. Would be amazing to get Android Auto like :)
I found the easiest way to do that!!!
Step 1.
Buy car with android auto.
And that it, now you are ready to rock!!!
Emri Ben Gigi Well, that's one way to do it. lol
Taylor Martin I just kidding lol
OK
happy road trip bro,thanks again
Could heat in the car in hot summer days damage the tablet over time?
Zach Snyder Yes, yes it could. That's one of the main reasons I wanted this to only be semi-permanent. It didn't come out *exactly* how I wanted, but I will definitely work on it over time.
Zach Snyder Or remove the battery from tablet and power the tablet only through vehicle battery
+jestin jose I love the idea of just removing the battery
@@jestinjose7145 I also thought of this. But how do you get it to turn on while in the dash.
The ad is still playing but I know this is the video I've been waiting for
You clearly have little experience doing this kind of work, your radio already receives a fused switched live.
sim6699 Admittedly, I don't.
Taylor Martin using a voltmeter or even a 12v light bulb, one could easily find the switched live wire from the ignition
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. :)
Awesome job! ... This is why I pay people to do this for me.. A lot of work!
I shall install my 50 inch 4K TV Screen in my 2006 Honda ACCORD EX 🖒 dashboard
Stalkerx13 Just replace your windscreen with it 😂😂😂
How would I go about doing this if you have a subwoofer and amp. What if I need to adjust the bass or something along those lines? Great video btw
I see an iPhone beside his nexus 6!;)
Have you looked at cellphone integration? Like a bluetooth hands-free calling setup?
Soundman aaaaaall the way.....
Quiet you can whisper and the noise level will not interfered in you sleeping or conversation.
What camera/lense do you use when filming? It's beautiful, so clear!
holy shit I have a 97 f250 gas that has the same look and interior as your truck and totally understand the wiring harness trouble you experienced !!!
nice short and to the point tutorial, good stuff
Thanks for sharing ^^ , does anyway to attach reverse camera into ur installation ?
You can get a redirad or fm modulator. Easy install and mount the tablet anywhere.
wow dude that's insane work you did there!!
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?
This is pretty cool. I wonder - can you use a OBD2 bluetooth or wifi adapter at the same time as the tunes? I would like to see data from the engine at the same time as playing tunes.
Why would the engine run any different just because you wired a tablet up?
good video, opinions are like....you already know. anyways I had done something similar with my 98 Z28 camaro. I eliminated the head unit, installed a radio delete plate with a magnet behind it (the magnet is from the new style cell phone holders) installed an Harmon Kardon amp with a logitech audio blue tooth adapter, upgraded infinity speakers and new speaker wires from the amp. works flawlessly. my Samsung S6 edge plus sticks perfectly on the radio delete plate. definitely a better choice over the pioneer app 3 radio that I paid for and installed myself on my Acura mdx. $530 for that head unit. never again!
This looks like a friggin science project!
Eyyyy I saw Coma Ecliptic. One of my favorite albums
what a muck around ... more patience than me !! anyways a good job ... you got the patience man
wireless charging creates a bunch of heat, you should have just hard wired it, you could have also put a hidden usb port under the dash to install updates and what not so you don't have to take the tablet out as much
I'm just happy that you had an FR-S.
omg what have I been doing with my life thank u so much I can't believe I never thought of that thank u so much and did u ever find a better way to mount the phone/tablet
Awesome setup! I might want to set that up in my vehicle. What's your favorite track from Coma Ecliptic?
Nice video...which camera did you use to shoot it? Image quality is astonishig...even from the RUclips, which uses to compress the videos sometimes horribly....
Taylor, great video I wondered where you went when you left Pocketnow, now I know. LOL!
Nice work Taylor, thx for sharing.
Thanks!
Great job, fit perfectly in your vehicle.
love the video Taylor I'm installing a tablet in my honda accord
Nice vid. How do u operate the volume tho? Seperate steering wheel controls or another way. The hardware buttons are now hidden in the dash
That's pretty clear wiring instructions.. but... how do you take the tablet out when your parked in a dodgy car park and you go shopping?
Excellent Video, I was wondering what to use to switch the display on and off, Thank You, I now know what to use :)
Nice finish for sure, well done!
I do have to say though you're speaking to people that are watching and maybe considering this type of install as well that may have a completely different type of vehicle.
Not all vehicles have the same gap needed for that tablet to fit nicely behind the bezel or the same rectangular shape and size for a tablet to fit.
(Been doing these since the first Samsung Galaxy 8.9" tablet came out in maybe 2014/12015 as well).
Cheers!
Got full use out of my 2019 Kia Optima's Android Auto's system via phone connection. Now I have full use of Android Auto. Very easy to do.
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.
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.
My stero has bluetooth. I feel like you could just find a phablet or tablet mount for the dash. It wouldn't look quite as good but good enough for sure
