A few people have asked this week about the same system but an indash system, yes that is the next stage after Evodroid7... a special Evo7/8/9 indash double din Android stereo/datalogger. I will start a new thread for that once the first two batches of EvoDroid7 are out.

That would be good, put me down for one of those

So, sat nav, evoscan, mp3 player from SD card, bluetooth phone integration, mp4 video player etc. all working with the 1.3da cable?

It would need to be stylish though to make me give up the double din Alpine head unit...

Not sure what you are planning for radio (maybe integrated into tablet), but if not...you can get a cheap USB RTL2832u chip (~$20) and use SDR touch software for android and have a full spectrum radio. This is what I am doing on my Nexus 7. You can check this thread for info.

Dude chill

I paid in December of last year. The first batch hasn't even been sent. I guess you'll have to wait your turn because there are others who paid earlier than me.

IMO, it's worth the wait.

Any update Hamish? Hope your newborn and the wifey are doing well

Never pay unless the product is ready. Saves a LOT of frustration at both ends.

Group buys don't work that way.

I do notice everyone who has shown skepticism seem relatively new to the forums...

I was going to use the tablet for my double din project but I will wait to see what you have in store for the double din.

A frew things I would be interested in on the double din

1.) 25 rms output (if not its okay I do have an amp I could use if I had too)
2.) Bluetooth
3.) 3 sets of preamp outs (front, rear, sub)
4.) 3 usb ports (1 for evoscan cable, 1 for another device such as ECU+, and THumpdrive)
5.) Wireless
6.) External mic or rear port to add an external mic for bluetooth.
7.) GPS antenna for offline navigation programs like Navfree

All I'm saying is that with this sort of thing, the frustration level is going to be very high on both ends. The buyer wants their product, and is worried it's a scam when they can't get info...and the developer gets frustrated with all the constant demands for info, so stops responding.

I never get in on stuff like this, because I'm honest enough to admit I'm impatient and want stuff right away. To heck with paying up front and waiting 6-12 months. That's poor planning on the developer's end IMO.

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
can you post a pick of how you have it mounted. Are you just using a doble dim ?

I used a universal double din, attached a snap on case which my nexus 7 clips into then my dash piece clips over the top
