I am seriously considering this and had a few questions.
- Are there any pictures of this setup in a JDM dash?
- How are you guys managing the data for the tablet? cellular or tethered?
- Has anyone found a method to answer/call using the tablet to control your phone? For example, I have an Android phone but want to be able to see who is calling and control the call through the tablet instead of pulling out my phone or relying on the steering wheel controls.
Here it is unmounted. I don't have any pics of it installed because my car is still in the shop.
I'm just going to tether to my phone with wifi hotspot. Not worth getting another data plan just for the car IMO
There is currently no solution for connecting your phone to your tablet to use the hands free feature. The Android bluetooth stack doesn't support the headset profile (allows device to be used as a headset over bluetooth). Parrot was able to do this on their headunit with a custom bluetooth stack, so I'm sure it's possible. It's just not a highly demanded thing so no developers are working on it
Thanks!

Hah sweet, I guess it's easy integration to the factory steering wheel controls (for volume at least)

Wow r34p3rex, that looks really slick! The JDM dash can be quite expensive, but it does look the best IMO. (Fyi, I found it for sale here http://www.japanparts.com/db/partsli...EY=330-019-001)
I did some searching around, and I found an android app called "Tablet Talk" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....tabtalk&hl=en) which uses either a Bluetooth or a Wifi connection to allow a tablet to send and receive both calls and emails.
Looks like I am picking up a tablet soon - this looks like the way to go for sure.

Yup. JDM dash kit is flush mount (if you don't want to permanently install) so you'll want to use an anti-glare screen protector

^ Agreed.
I currently have Appradio 2 w/ ARliberator. I gave Arliberator a great review because one developer tried something new and it works in theory. The glitches, bugs, and failed hand shakes are very inconvenient and dangerous.
Sometimes I find myself in my driveway or parking lot and fiddling with plugging in the USB charger, HDMI-mini plug, tucking the cables away, wait for the handshake, scroll to Google Play, wait for the by-pass screen to pop up and the acknowledgement button to illuminate...sometimes it doesn't, scroll back to google play, start playlist or radio, go back to home screen and turn on Screen Standby to dim phone brightness, Click Google Maps, realize that Google Maps doesn't accept "Mock Locations" so the Pioneer external GPS is worthless...
The shutdown process is fine, I'll take a minute to let the turbo cool while I undo Screen Standby, turn off google play (because it doesn't auto-stop like the mic disconnect), and turn off any other apps I was using (Dashcommand, Iheartradio, etc.)
Bottom line, I appreciate the app development for what Pioneer and Arliberator have done, but the technologies aren't as seamless together, and that is expected of custom set ups. Personally, I'm reinstalling my Non-Navi RF headunit and just plug everything into the AUX port.
It's an AWD machine, and my SST makes me feel "Alittle" disconnected from the driving experience sometimes. I don't want audio/visual technologies to disconnect it further.
I'll chase a tablet idea, and I give props to all the custom work that is done with our dash openings! But for now, that was just my .02 cents on Appradio integration.

THREAD REVIVAL!!!!!!!!!!
Ok. I have the brand spanking new Nexus 7 Tablet and was almost done with the install. Since there is enough room to mount the tablet in front of the oem head unit, we decided to install it that way. BUT.... for some reason the head unit will not stay in AUX mode for the tablet to work!?!??!?????????????? How do I get the radio to stay in AUX mode so I can use the tablet?

This is my first time installing one and it's damn near finished. Just having issues with it staying in the mode to play the tablet. After I figure that out, I'll post a few pics.

The Scosche Double Din dash kit is a nice piece for the X. Depending on what model you have, you may want to see if they make one for your car. Other than the double din, if you don't want to hardwire it to your car, then send a few of the guys here a PM about what else you would need to operate it and have it be a removable piece.
