So this is something i've been wanting to do for a long time. I'm actually an Apple guy and had been trying to figure out a way to get an iPad mini in the same location but the size of it was just a little to big to fit and operate the way I wanted it too.

So I decided to go with the slightly smaller Nexus 7inch tablet (2013 model) and it worked out perfectly! Along with a Grom bluetooth unit, It has steering wheel controls (volume, next/back, seek) on the music app and pandora/spotify etc.

I also am using an app called Tasker that allows me to automate the tablet to act just like a car stereo. So when I start the car the tablet receives power, it wakes up and locks the screen in the on position, auto connects the bluetooth, and starts playing the song where I left off when I last got out of the car. When I turn car off, it cuts power to the tablet which triggers a custom "Sleep mode" where it will turn the bluetooth off, pause the song, and turn the screen off. It works seamlessly and I love the way it turned out.

Here are some pictures.

That's a pretty nice setup. Good job

This looks fantastic. Great job. Quick question (2 actually). How does the nexus play with your apple stuff (iPhone, iTunes, etc)? And is that a custom bezel, or did you buy it, and if so, where? Again... Great job

Thanks guys!
I was able to get all my music from my iTunes onto my nexus with no problem. There is just a program that you have to get to transfer it onto the tablet.

As far as the bezel, I just ordered this

Took like 30 days to get to me from China but it fit perfectly. It also gives you the pieces to move the factory non-nav screen down to the lower pocket area.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to pull the trigger on this soon.
