My head unit has Bluetooth and it switches to my phone when receiving calls or starting calls.

Recently I installed new speakers, a sub and an amp. These are all connected through the head unit and would work as they normally do.

Remember you still need a head unit with above method but it just needs to have whatever features you want. I would lean towards a sony unit right now.

I use a USB port on my headunit to charge the nexus 7. As for the USB hub... Any Hub will work fine.

And yes timurs new software will work with a 2013 nexus 7.

awesome.. you been perfect help... didn't think the usb could charge it that well.. so I just buy a hub plug that into the single din HU and plug in the tablet into the hub wooo......


Do have a question though. installing a back up camera. I don't see how that would work unless I have an app and connect Bluetooth with the tablet...
And using a Mic through the tablet instead of phone..

No you connect the hub to the nexus 7. The otg y cable is needed to use timurs rom, one end connects to the hub and then the other end of the otg y cable is connected to the head unit.

As for the back up can you need an easycap device that connects to the hub. With all of these devices you need to power the hub somehow.

Nexus is running great. I switched to the 2013 recently. I like it more but just barely. I recommend the setup as I have had no issues. As for the corners: one side looks perfect the other side you have to look closely to see the gap. If I were to redo the gluing of the double din kit I believe I could make it flush.
