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!  |
nope. no steering wheel controls for me. they would be nice, but not a big deal. i'll take a picture of how my tablet set up looks if you're interested.
so tablet splits to dac and power. from dac it goes to the aux of the hu. i see no reason you couldn't do rca if your hu supports it though.
i can't remember. maybe one i grabbed from amazon? but it's just a cable so i don't see a big deal with getting a generic one. or you can even make your own if you feel up to the challenge. the rom i'm using doesn't seem to have a problem supporting hubs, but yes it is a limitation of the current kernel as it is. i've tried a LOT of combinations of kernels and roms, but as of now not a single one provides the exact set up that is possible using the 2012 nexus 7 with timurs rom/kernel. at least for now. the dev for the elementalx seems to be working on it all the time so i think it's only a matter of time before it's exactly what i'm looking for.
and i agree. having the android tablet far outweighs some of the limitations i've come across.
