Wouldn't recommend it for two reasons: 1) These tablets can get finicky on the charge. I had a 2amp USB charger and it still didn't take. 2) When I used the official car charger for it, the phantom draw when the car was off killed my battery twice. With the inverter it never draws without power. I'm so stoked to see someone else tackle this.

I could have sworn it was 6.5". I'll look for my source, but will humbly concede if I'm wrong. Also, if I'm wrong it means it's a good way to go! As for covering up the buttons, you could bondo and respray the whole thing so it becomes invisible. FastWRX.com has the nav bezel if you are looking to buy new. I don't know how the prices compare to other OEM vendors. I'm looking forward to hear your progress.

Dade, be aware that the opening in the stock Nav/Spec B. unit is 6.5" and doesn't maintain the 16x9 aspect ratio of the thrive's screen. You can try to shave off the additional half-inch, and I'd definitely be interested to see it if you go this route. On the software front, this bad boy does a pretty good job as well. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=AutomateItPro.mainPackage&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIkF1dG9tYXRlSXRQcm8ubWFpblBhY2thZ2UiXQ.. It maintains my power profiles, as well as radios. Explore it.

Don't mind me, just whoring out my android... http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3818486&postcount=73

Red get on 83 in Vernon CT. You gave a peace sign, I gave a waddle and a thumbs up.

He's stalking you.

to make the screen never turn off is in the developer settings. As long as their is power the screen will not turn off. When there is no power the time out is whatever is normally set.

Sounds awesome, I'm stoked someone else is tackling this idea. Keep in mind though, the way mine went dimensions meant everything. The HTC flyer is 195.4mm wide, even wider with the otterbox. A double din slot is 180mm wide x 100mm high.

Not I, DP swap took forever on account of snapped spring bolts, stubborn heatshield, and dissappearing/reappearing nuts.

Silver Spec. B on the souther side of the berlin turnpike, near the meriden line. I gave you a thumbs up and a herp derp grin. Also, red '05 LGT on 174 in newington, just before the New Britain line.

my guess its in there but maybe not as an SD card. Also, you have to consider the allocations for OS and apps.

Spotted someone driving my car. So I called the police and reported it stolen. :slowpoke: April fools?

spotted 05-07 blue gt on 691 meriden ct. I gave you a thumbs up and a rev. You gave me a "sounds good".

I see where you're coming from. For those specific examples, I can only really cite this: during any media playback, as long as the navigation lady isn't on mute, google maps will interrupt any sound and use real-time voice navigation. For music control, google play music has quick controls that can be used on the pull down information bar. All of it at once, I have no idea if there is something like that for ICS, let alone crummy gingerbread. I have a feeling that the native google apps will have some kind of integration like that in the near future, but for as it is now and custom development over at XDA, I have no idea. There's also app switching, which has been vastly improved in ICS. it's no substitute for having a good GUI with everything at your fingertips, but it's getting closer.

Using the car dock home, you can custom size any shortcut to an application. Applications wind up being hit or miss. If anyone is looking to do this, consider the toshiba thrive 7. It's 2mm thinner giving a little breathing room and it's honeycomb based, meaning no ties to the softkeys. When I get a little time, I think I might pick one up and get Tommy to fabricate some plastic to seal it all up nice and clean.

Here's a quicky write up and a handful of pictures. I'm not great at these things.

I'll make a full write up tonight when I get home. It's about time I did one anyway

good question. I have no idea actually. Work sucks the life out of me, then i go home. Whenever I want to go far, I have my girlfriend come with me and I drive her car.

2 ABP 08 GT's in West Hartford. One had Mudflaps, the other didn't but had what looked like ASA wheels.

AFAIK, the 2006 Spec B's didn't get a Spec. B badge. I could be wrong though. Mt buddy Jen had a 2006 and hers didn't come with one.

I've found it helps with reducing glare to the eyes, but it still washes out the screen something fierce. It makes it slightly more useable on my screen which came out as a very reflective surface. I'd buy it again.

Silver 2.5i lowered with some kind of nice-ish wheels on the 15 up by berlin CT last night. I waved frantically and beeped my horn at you but you seemed like you were too busy being a boss with the company you had in your passenger seat.

No real updates. I'm running car home as my homescreen application and that does things like prime the GPS location, turn off backlight timer, and max out volume. It's automatically programmed in the logic to turn the screen on when power is connected. I also use an app to automatically bypass the lockscreen function so I don't even have to do that when the car turns on. Most used apps so far are Torque, Winamp (for wi-fi syncing library), pandora, google maps (is the best, true that, double true), wi-fi hotspot, and urbanspoon.

it would be hilarious if it didn't and it just didn't work in no signal areas
