screech Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 It's the 7" JDM bezel. Ordered from japanparts Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Well you inspired me, I just ordered the 7" JDM bezel from Japan parts and a lte nexus 7 off swappa. Hope it comes out as OEM looking as yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesleyCrowbar Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 +1 on the nexus in car. I've been running it for the past few months and finally got the jdm bezel last night and it's wonderful. Copilot is probably the best offline GPS app I've used. Sygic is good too, but it prompts often with notifications and offers (read: spam) and sucked battery life for me. Automateit/tasker are absolutely necessary for the install though. It manages things like waking up/turning off the tablet when it senses power, changing volume, etc. There's a thread on here that is pretty thorough. http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4550417&postcount=318 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I might do this...gah... It would allow me to get rid of some stuff and have an actually useful nav Only thing I'm curious about would be the hooking up of my reverse camera and how that would work with the tablet. The GPS app that I like to use is Waze though since you and others are all able to drop pins noting where things are on the road: cars broken down, cops, traffic jams, etc. Any idea how much data your tablet uses when running all that stuff? I saw you said you have an unlimited data plan but I was just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureFicus Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 What happens when you turn off your car? With timurs rom it goes to airplane mode/deep sleep to conserve when it loses power through the the usb connection. It wakes and resumes when it receives power from the car when it is turned on That looks great. Now I might do this...gah... It would allow me to get rid of some stuff and have an actually useful nav Only thing I'm curious about would be the hooking up of my reverse camera and how that would work with the tablet. There's a setting in timurs rom that allows you to hook up a usb camera I believe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draconian Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I would use timurs ROM if he wasn't charging an insane amount of $ for it. Asking for donations is one thing... He was also banned from XDA Developers IIRC because he started charging for the ROM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldrego Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 How much is he charging? That sucks to hear as I wanted to do this. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureFicus Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 It's not too bad especially since it's updated often and support is good. It's about $30 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconian Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 So he actively updates? Somewhat hard to tell for sure on his page, but if he does still work on it that's pretty cool and makes the $30 somewhat more reasonable. On another note, does anyone have a diagonal measurement of the jdm nav opening? Makes me wonder if an 8-9" screen could possibly work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesleyCrowbar Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 If you get the bezel from avojdm, a 8 or 9" tablet would work Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad thing is, decent 7" tablets seem to be harder to find now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the kit arrives I'll be installing it. Played with the radio a bit and it's pretty nice. Looks good and runs fast. I got the 2gb ram version.

eldrego Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 So I'm guessing this is logged into your Google account? That's one thing I'm worried about. Also is it easy to remove?

The actual brain is a small external box that is on a quick disconnect clip. You can make it easy to remove. I'll be installing it this weekend hopefully and I'll take some pics.

I thought you were talking about the double din stereo I linked not the Nexus install. Side note.... For those curious about the double din stereo.... I have not real world tested it yet but I got it installed and 100% working. GPS works great. Wifi in the garage works great. Working on a mobile data solution. One negative is I now have a decent amount of battery drain and the car battery is completely dead after 48 hours. I mean so dead its like its unplugged. Need to look into that.....
