Just plug in a speaker jack into the EvoDroid7 and play the mp3s from the evodroid7 touchscreen via the speaker jack into the aux in of the headunit in your glove box. Please tell me your headunit has aux in

I don't know what tablet Hamish is using, but I am in the process of replacing my CarPC with a Nexus 7. You can have FM via a $20 USB stick with RT2832U chip. You just need android SDR software (SDR touch is one example). I already have used it and tested it out and it works great. You can even plug in the car antenna as well. Of course, I am using just the Nexus 7, no other head unit, etc. With my CarPC, I was using a Directed HD1000 HD radio contolled via the PC. With the Nexus 7, the $20 rt2832u works just as good and much less space, wiring, etc.
Also, as another option, if you don't care about data, is to tether your phone and stream something like TuneIn or Pandora. I am opting for the RT2832 USB stick because it's non data based.
I will buy Evoscan for Android once Hamish releases it, but for now, I'm just setting up Torque to log all MUT requests that I want over a bluetooth OBD adapter. I, too, like the wireless. For digital display gauges, it's fine. I agree for logging, it will be too slow. Heck, I even think MUT is too slow and I opt for DMA. But, for digital gauges, bluetooth will be fine.
So, via the tablet, I can have:
-radio (non data based)
-phone connectivity to answer phone calls, etc
-GPS
-Bluetooth MUT logging (via OBD)
-all other bells and whistles that come with a Nexus 7

oh, I thought all bluetooth head units where touchscreen, I guess you have an older model. thats easy then.
Just plug in a speaker jack into the EvoDroid7 and play the mp3s from the evodroid7 touchscreen via the speaker jack into the aux in of the headunit in your glove box. Please tell me your headunit has aux in

Are there any benefits to pre-ordering compared to waiting until the product is fully live? I know some guys on here have been waiting for 6+ months but just considering on recalling my pre-order and waiting for the product to come out...
My pre-order stands at the moment but just curious.
Thanks.

Hamish said "this month" so I was curious to know if the 2nd pre-order batches are really set for April. Like I said, a lot of guys having been waiting 6+ months...I may rescind my pre-order and just wait till they are actually available. I don't want money tied for that long...

I think the whole point of pre ordering is ur helping develop and fund for the creation of a product that would and should be twice as expensive than what I would expect if u don't have cash to have stuck waiting 2-3months than maybe u shouldn't be driving an Evo because I spend twice that much just changing my fluids

. I was curious if there would be changes in prices once the product is live. Umm...yeah of course the money is funding the project of Hamish building these and nobody even mentioned that. Plus, its my money and I HAVE EVERY RIGHT to ask questions. Sounds like you're the only one complaining.
BTW, I drive a VR4...so proud you can almost read

Hamish -
I can't wait to mount mine.
Once again, thank you evoscan for making this device cross platformed. This will bring huge business to various Mitsubishi / Subaru crowds.
Heck I might order a link for my 2013 WRX also.
