Too much money. Those are like $599.99 and can only run 2.2 or 2.3 and I already had everything I need to do my tablet project.

Ah, ok. I can't wait for them to come down in price. If they can make a 7 inch tablet with a tegra 3 for 200$, then they should be able to make a 6.1" double din for 250$.

Either way, I'm working on making a multimedia interface for use in a car.

Yeah, I'm really surprised that the android head unit market hasn't been exploited that much......yet.

I'm hoping it takes off now that legit head units are coming out. It's only 600$ because no one else really has released one.

I just looked up that HU. Looks very nice. Expensive but nice.

Can you input NAV destination by voice or does it have to be typed in?

There is a clip on utube with the guy test the voice command.
That 8" Nav by Alpine is top notch.

This new dash kit actually snaps into the radio surround and allows for a much cleaner look as it fills in the gap on the top and bottom. I'll try it out with various popular double dins (pioneer, kenwood, etc) and take as many pictures as possible to show you guys what it looks like. We're getting a few coming in so when they do I'll do a full pre-sale post. Pricing will be around 30$ for it.

Let me know what you guys think!

Mike

Any updates on this trim piece?

You can see in the pic theres a vw iso harness coming off the back. These kits will be available with full plug and play harnesses so you will have no need for any splicing whatsoever. I'm working on this with Enfig Car stereo they will have a youtube video up soon with my car on install and more details with the plug and play harness.

Not too bad!

KRAZYK · 09-18-2012, 10:42 AM

Where can I get one of these?

Who makes this kit? Looks more uniform than the Metra Kit and with the tabs to lock it into the dash piece it would be super easy to just bondo fill the edges to a nice profile and carbon fiber wrap the whole piece. PM sent regarding purchasing this kit.
