I don't post here, I got out of this thing quite a while ago but I've done a few Android Tablet installs over the past few years and I just got *****ed at for not documenting them enough, stating that I'm lying. My first was a Galaxy Tab a few months after they came out, honda accord. Nothing fancy during those days. Just charger and audio out. Then I did another Galaxy Tab in a custom built dock for my Eclipse GSX. Video is before the glassing of the Dock. I made it so it could be removed due to the heat. Galaxy Tabs didn't do well with the heat. http://youtu.be/qy8lodKH1FY Finished Product (after Video) I then went onto attempting a Nexus 7, It was too big for that car, Then A Kindle Fire 2, It was perfect and after I went CM10.1, it was that much better. But I decided to sell the car. So I sold that tablet and got another Nexus 7 and my 3rd Jeep Grand Cherokee. And the video I made since I was called out. Very crap video tho. I hate video lol. Anyway the setup is a Nexus 7 32gb. Setup to a Custom USB OTG 4Port USB 2.0 Hub with a Hacked Verizon Galaxy Tab 2a charger hard wired into the Hub. I have a DVB-T/FM USB Dongle for FM Radio hard wired into my car's stock antenna, and a USB DAC for the audio through the USB. I Don't show in the video the 1TB HD because Its been stuck to my pc all day copying 780gb of Movies and TV Shows over, as well as lots of 4x4 Trail info since it is a 4x4 Vehicle. The Tablet is running Timurs USB OTG In Dash Cyanogenmod 10.1 Rom. I couldn't live without that rom, It made the whole in dash experience soo amazing. I feel as if the jeep came with the tablet like that from the factory. I'm currently awaiting my ordered DC/DC Smart PSU. I've been hearing good things about it, and I need the power and its abilities. Also will be adding some Camera's for 4x4 Views. http://youtu.be/WuTqovAYy8U And of course for the people who say "Thats not easy to remove....!" Well I take this vehicle offroading, rock crawling, not mudding. So Extreme angles and bouncing around is very common, so I can't have the tablet falling out. I hope you enjoy. I'll be documenting a Nexus 7 In Dash Permanent Install of a 2006 Altima SER, Similar to my setup but with screeeeennnnzzzz yo! lol Its planned to be a Ghetto Child Mobile.

Hello, I am using OBDSim and it is working great. My problem is that the Error generator only seems to be generating 2 or 3 codes at a time. I would like to be able to have it feed more codes, and if I could choose them, that would be even better. I am running this on Windows.

Hey guys. So I've been working on this for a while now, slowly chipping away at creating something as complete as possible as well as show off exactly what RR is truly capable of. I really liked the new cadillac cue system, and so decided to take what I've learned over the past few years reading this forum and attempt to build a RR skin for it. I want to thank everyone on the forum here who's helped answer questions, because without your support, this would have never got off the ground. It's far from complete, but as work has eaten away more and more of my free time lately, I have no idea when it will be done....and in all honesty, one thing I've learned from this site- it's never "complete". I'm sure many of you agree that we spend countless hours tweaking, adjusting and creating skins to suit our tastes and mood, only to find ourselves still looking to do more. Here's an outline of the skin including some screenshots, features and a list of things still being worked on: List of plugins used: Mobilephone.net (not complete/working yet) Ride runner fusion Disclaimer: As I've taken a long time to develop this, I've programmed things across multiple versions of RR as well as multiple versions of certain plugins, thus, I'm not sure how well things will work from system to system. This is intended for you guys to experiment with and customize to your liking, and is recommended for users familiar with the RR code and the plugins I've used with this skin. Attached Images

Tesla haters just lost another quiver in their dwindling arsenal. The upstart electric automaker has paid off the entirety of its Department of Energy loan -- a whopping $451.8M -- and did it nine years ahead of schedule.

Did a search here and on google, and couldn't find what I was looking for, Putting a new setup in my present vehicle, the computer is going to be used basically for navigation, traffic, weather etc, and my present headunit, a pioneer unit for music, would like to use FB to mute the headunit thru the phone wire which just completes a ground, when the nav. speaks directions. Garmin Mobile PC. I thing I can use a input from the speaker to the FB and have it trigger a relay to ground the phone wire on the headunit. but not very good with programing, so kinda of lost on that, or am am lost all the way around with my idea. Any help or ideas would be great.

I've been using a TNetpc-Ion form NEC for an HTPC for a few months. I have since upgraded and want to use the NEC for a car PC. It's a Zotac 1.6 GHz dual core Atom with 2 gig of ram and a 200gb hard drive. My problem is it has an external 110 volt power supply that outputs 19 volts to a barrel connector that plugs into the PC case. The female barrel connecter goes straight to the mobo. I do see where I think I could solder in the power header. I want to use this because, firstly, I already have it, it is capable, it's fan-less, it has all the USB, HDMI, eSATA, and every other port I will need, the case is small and has predrilled and tapped holes for mounting brackets. It's seemingly perfect except for the power supply. I haven't removed the mobo from the case to see what's on the bottom yet. I might do that after I finish this post. I don't see any numbers from the manufacturer or anything on this top side. If I can't solder on the power header, I was hoping I could use the power switch header for signal from the key switch, or some other header that may work. There is one next to the power switch header labeled RST SW, anyone know what that is for?

1/ I have this supplementary amp: http://store.mp3car.com/TDA7850_Inte..._p/com-140.htm What would happen if I sent it 5v? Would it operate at a reduced wattage or not at all? 2/ How much does a soundcard or external USB sound device really affect the quality of music in the car? Or is it the particular audio drivers that affect the sound? I'm getting that light static/garbled/electric sound(hope that makes sense). It kind of goes away after its been playing for a while, but I'm wondering if an external small USB soundcard/device would correct that.
