so you want to completely remove the oem head unit and install the tablet in place of it, right?

a usb cable just carries data and power-- charging it isn't a problem, but you would require some sort of hideaway module that can get the audio data and convert it to an analog form that would then go out to an amp of some sort, and then the speakers(i don't have an 86 yet, so i don't remember if they have a factory amp)
