I have Apple CarPlay now and I'd never try something like this again except for funsies. I just enjoy having something that works, is responsive, and automatically updates. |

I'm and android fan so I'll be rooting my nexus this weekend, getting ready to install soon. I figure this with the little 3D printed plastic pieces for the edges should be clean enough (hopefully). I wouldn't mind learning how to make a custom dash but I want it to look good and don't know how long that'd take

I just removed the battery on my tablet and wired it into a constant 5V and it recieves power for timurs on/off function from my usb hub which is wired to accessory. Zip tied it to my bezel so no ghettoness on the outside.

Ill probably put together a build thread in a bit. But basically you wire in a usb car phone charger to your 12v constant. Then you take a usb cable and solder the v+ and GND to the wires and pcb of the nexus 7 battery after you separate the connector/pcb from the battery. Theres a video on youtube somewhere.
Heres how it looks mounted. |

Removable Nexus 7 install
Why don't people just use the tablet mount instead? It's a lot easier to install and you can take it out whenever u want and be able to keep your volume knob
Also, anyone using nexus 7 2nd gen? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yep actually looks like it belongs there instead of hanging off of your dash. I feel like it can be mistaken as a oem unit this way. Integrated SWC working as well. Only issues I have with my 2nd gen are with Timurs kernel not turning off and has to be unplugged to suspend. His blog says its likely a cranking issue. Anyone come across this?
