also currently i'm running a cyanogenmod based rom using the elementalx kernel still. i cannot do hubs at the moment, but i am able to use a DAC thus making my sound quality way better and also only needing to plug a single cable into my tablet for easy install or removal.

I'm not sure if Android supports this type of profile, but I will try it with my phone today to see what happens.
The core problem is from the HU the BT controls and audio are only enabled when you're set to BT Audio on the HU, Aux input is a separate selection on the HU.
I will have to contemplate a bit more, because I do like the idea of keeping standard FM and satellite radio connections as backup since I do occassionally drive to the US (and I don't want to data roam) and every offline GPS Android app looks way better than the current Z120BT unit I have.
My ideal setup would be:
- Nexus 7 tab in dash area
- Single DIN HU, getting tablet, terrestrial and satellite radio inputs direct
- All audio controllable through steering wheel (tricky part!)
Two main methods I see today are BT Audio from the tablet (which quality seems to suffer somewhat for the streaming portion) or going with a Joycon to control the tablet directly (but I lose control to the single DIN HU)
With the Elementalx kernel are you able to do OTG for charging along with USB DAC? Are you using solely the Nexus 7 with an amp (no headunit like in other posts here)?
