Android powered ICE

[aim]

Right so I've got a thread over at AMNZ but I've been asked to post it up here. So here we go;

Here's the original thread;

http://www.androidmobile.co.nz/forum/8-technical/5188-androided-in-car-entertainment-thoughts

I've decided to build a Android powered 'headunit'. Here's the car;

Here's the tablet I'm going to be using;

Amp, Wiring Harness, transformer (+ fuse)

The first interface;

Test fitting;

Here is the power supply wired to the rear of the cigarette lighter - the PCB is tac'd to the dash surround with just a tab or two of hot glue

Wiring partially done!

Components for volume knob;

Pentiometer wiring;

Fuse/powersupply assembly, spring cut in half for the harness, and heat shrink for the case.

Testing it in the actual car;

Here it is test fitted - very temporary - might stay like this until after easter.

Here's a video;

^^ at the end it never found my GPS location as I was in the garage - which has a whole other storey above it.

could just bluetooth it from your ph?

seems complicated

Just flashed a newer version, jelly bean baby.

[subieboy]

Sweet! Looks interesting.

Whats inputs for it do you have? USB for music etc?

[DRFVDR]

I like this unit also can be had without the removable tablet

$350US, haha that's probably cheaper than what I've spent lol... But I think you guys are missing the point of a project lol.

Inputs will be 3.5mm and Bluetooth. It's already got 20gb of music so I shouldn't need much more.

Roll into garage and sync wirelessly?

Screeech, skid, bang, BOOM!

Police officer: So tell me son, how come you lost control of the vehicle on a straight bit of road?

Reply: Ah, cos I was trying my best to kill that last fucking pig. No wait. wait wait, that\'s not what I meant...............................................

Yup that\'s what I do

Am trying to jack up parts to do this with an old ipad when I get back.

I will put it vertically though as it fits the GTB "control panel surround" perfectly.

Will have to relocate heater controls but all G.

Yessir.

Exactly like that setup. Might actually get a mate to do it who does installs for a living

Did you run a 4 channel amp for your speakers Aim?

I would like to add a sub at same time to mine. Normally I\'d run rears off factory head unit and bridge for sub but this isn\'t possible with this kinda setup.

Don\'t want to go 5 channel amp as that means can\'t pick up one for nix

How I ran the speekars in the RX was a 4 channel amp , 2 to the front and the other 2 bridged running the sub

now more stealth no sub and just some good fronts being run from a higher capacity amp

[DacerX]

Started mine, just need to mount it tightly

[clintondane]

That is too cool !^^^^^^^

[DacerX]

still needs work tho

[Invisible]

Looking good dacerx

I\'ve done mine pretty much the same

I\'m using tasker to control screen on/off etc to coincide with power on/off

Running car launcher

Picture of how I\'ve relocated clock and temparature display

And displaying RPM, Volts, AFR and Boost - using a bluetooth OBD II adapter sending data as SSM to ECU Tracker

[DacerX]

can u take a pic of how you got you to hold it in place?

[gotasuby]

Also what bluetooth dongle did you use to work with can bus
