  1. How are you doing on/wake ?

     

    The problem Ive had with tablets as such, installed, vs mounted is the installed most of the time makes the power button inaccessible. Unless you make it never sleep, I don't know of any app, or android device that does wake on soft button. If its just surface mounted then it should be fine. You should also be able to get a cable that does usb/audio out. Though even those might be limited to 500 mA.

     

    Just use a small servo to press the power button.

  2. Without knowing the output of the deck I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you can use your deck. I would use an amp that both has a line level input and will take speaker level inputs. For example the Rockford Fosgate amps that just came out, they even auto sense input voltage if you can't/ don't want to find a amp turn on wire.
  3. This is an old as hell topic, but this is almost exactly what I want to do.

     

    I want a dual screen setup with the OEM NAV in the top screen (a full OEM transplant, but using the Kenwood/Garmin unit for the nav instead of the DVD based OEM setup), and an A/V setup in the lower screen.

     

    My goal is to have the top screen be all-nav, all-the-time (and the other factory bits), and have the lower screen be for all audio use/bluetooth integration/etc. I won't use the navigation in the lower unit at all, but functionality and OEM look is extremely important.

     

    I had a lead on an OEM screen/bezel not too long ago for not a ton of money but that kind of fell through. I want a complete take-out system, if possible, so I don't have to hack up wiring or anything and I can turn it mostly plug-and-play.

     

    For the lower screen, I was thinking of the Pioneer AVIC-X920BT because it looks like it could be completely OEM and has Pandora Link (which is awesome), or the AVH-P3200BT because it also looks OEM (but lacks the Pandora Link interface, which I actually kind of want).

     

    The X920BT would be awesome, but that's a lot of $$$ for a Nav headunit that I won't be using for navigation. I'm still trying to figure out if the X920BT's Pandora feature ONLY works with the iPhone, or if it will work with the Droid as well.

     

    I think having both of the screens completely independent is the best way to go, though I would like to see if there was a way to have the Navigation dialog interrupt the audio from the lower headunit.

     

    If the X920BT will work with a Droid, then that'll be the ideal setup for me. OEM looks with massive functionality. I think the whole setup would look great, sound good, and ultimately work really well. All without the headache of a CarPC. I do wonder how an aftermarket head unit would interface with the HK amp? It would probably work alright, I would think.

     

    The only better setup would be if the top screen "MAP" button would bring up the Nav screen from the lower unit and still retain touch-screen use. Then I could completely forego the Kenwood/Garmin setup and have an all-in-one unit. Saddly, I don't know of a single aftermarket unit that allows the Nav system to be displayed on another screen, let alone one that would interface with the factory touch screen.

    I'm sure you know by now but both Pioneer and Sony have decks that have the ability to work with the Droid. The problem for me seems to be that the "app" decks dont have F/R/Sub outs and all of the good stuff that a big system could use. Ill be starting my system in just bit
