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.

Yep, the Joycon EXR (

Are you doing any steering wheel controls currently in your setup?
How is your USB DAC wired from the line out, are you doing Aux to your HU or RCA lines to another input type on the HU?
Which OTG cable are you using and where did you order it (I've read mixed reviews on the various forums)? You mention no USB hub setup yet, is this a limitation of ElementalX kernel or just something you've yet to do?
I may need to go your route as you said, keep the HU radio purely as backup--I do listen to some talk radio shows on FM and SXM however SXM has an app and LTE-enabled Nexus 7 would work well for doing streaming 99% of the time (I have a large data plan and would just get another SIM to share in tab directly). Steering wheel controls would only work with tablet.
Overall the benefit, customizability and slickness of an Android tablet setup outweighs the minor drawbacks.
Thanks for all your input on this!
