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)?

ah i was thinking the controls could just control the music directly on the tablet and then from the tablet you plug in the aux.
i understand how you feel about wanting to keeping standard radio connections just in case you want those. that's how mine is set up too. my tablet just sits in front of the hu. at any point i can pull it out and continue using my head unit as normal. maybe look around to see if there are steering wheel remotes for android? unless you're saying that you also want the remote to control the head unit. at that point i don't think it's possible because that's like having one remote for two tvs. it could work, but it would get wonky. for me i never ever use my hu other than for listening to the music from my tablet so that's not an issue for me. however it's a jvc unit and i have the remote that most units come with so i could technically swap inputs as i want. i just never feel the need to. my tablet is also lte enabled so i could just do internet radio if i really felt like it.
yeah it's charging while having the dac plugged in. and again my nexus connects to my head unit. i prefer having one as a safety net.
