Is there any way to cover up the open spaces on the sides? I am going to do an install today and noticed that there is a considerable amount of open space on either side.

Updated, do not use solid core cat5e when it comes to soldering. I've f#^ked up my pcb and I need to wait for replacement to come from Japan.

Ike44 - one thing that I didn't take in to account, make sure you dremel enough that the physical buttons are not pressed. I only found out the hard way going around a corner. Dash flexs a lot.

Dezoris - I sure you have a lot to comment on dashboard flex n sound :P, nice part 2 video. I'm sure you got a lemon and scion should replace it.

Cheers,

Sam

Well, small update. After F#&king up a head unit I bought myself a new one and thought I would just hack away behind the dash.

Here are some photo's of whats involved.







As I'm about to cut out the last little bit, the Dremel broke, Yay! So if you are going to use a Dremel with flex arm attachment you'll probably break it since its to tight to get in for long period of time. Get yourself a right angle attachment. How I've got to replace my friends tools.



I really want to put together a new thread once I have everything complete, who knows when that will be as Murphy keeps kicking me in the nuts!

Cheers,

Sam

@Dezoris I'm looking to do the same setup as you but I'm really lost on the tablet mount. Can you share any more info/pics on the actual tablet mount?

The backside would be nice, seeing how the tablet is attached to the bezzel so it doesn't push back when you press on the screen

Mine is pinned into the bezel by the head unit bracket behind, very simple. I will get more pics tomorrow.

Can you post pictures on how you powered the inverter in the glove box? Or describe how to power it?

I have some ideas for infotainment UI/UX, that is not present in your design and I am seriously looking for someone to partner with on the creation of an app like this.

Here is a mockup of what I currently have running on my tablet.
Pretty cool, been looking for a reason to develop some android stuff, hit me up this interface is very nice.

hey sam, any updates to this. id really love to have a single din head unit in the lower compartment, but cutting that cross member/bracket scares me.
