Nexus 7 Tablet Install for Dummies (Guide)


Recommended Posts

This one looks a little different. Oh cause it's a single din conversion.

So this is what I need, minus the nav screen?

Sorta. Thats the one thats still available on AvoJDM as the hole is marginally taller but narrower. Wouldn't be concerned about it being narrower, but being taller means it'll be damn close to having a gap at the top/bottom. There isn't a whole load of coverage with the standard option fascia.

Notice the bottom of the cutout on the one you listed is virtually in line with the bottom of the vent where the suggested one the cutout sits up from the bottom of the vents.

Potentially a bit difficult as its been discontinued by Subaru so the only way is to wait for one to come up on here or some Japanese site like buyee / yahoo auctions. Edited by Andy_Mac

Ahhhh. So it looks like the reasonable answer is pick up some usdm ones to mod as that will be far cheaper. Thanks for the input all! And the write up for sure!!!

I have found a handful of these, but they have the slot for the nav buttons....|

Can't remember who but there's someone on here who has made one using that setup and made a custom on/off button in that spot.

 

And sorry, forgot to mention the vents on these ones are actually narrower which is what the tablet needs to fit. People that use ones with the standard sized vents end up having the tablet cut into the vent space which messes up their adjustability.

 

There's some dimensions I used when deciding on what one to ise on mine

 

Nexus 7 2013

Screen: 151x94

Frame/body: 200x114

 

H0017AG915 - the one i'm using

Cutout: 200x100

 

H0017AG932 - other JDM option

Cutout: 185x118

 

Have seen pics of one using the 932 fascia where they made up a plastic plate that filled in the hole and they had it cut 5-10mm from the screen edges

Odd! I've noticed the forums appear to magically change the link to another site sometimes. Refreshing seems to solve the issue, but either way it looks like the one listed is no longer in stock.

You'll need eBay item number: 222120659478

I should be redoing this install in my STI soon. Should have a back up camera and a dac since timurs rom supports that out of the box now. Also plan on installing a external gps antenna and maybe a dvr/ telemetry system.

I bought an auto be more involved in my uninvolvedness . 200k+ Club

If you can't blind them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.

What did you guys do about the fact the obd2 port always supplies power to the tactrix cable thus lighting up the leds on the tactrix non stop? I know its not a huge drain but i would feel a little questionable if i had to leave the car unstarted for a week,month etc.

I think you're referring to me :).

 

Here is a video of my setup. It is a bit long and don't mind my messed up english accent :spin:. But yeah, I essentially used the oem usdm bezel. It's now been more than 8 months of use and everything runs just fine.

Here is a (crappy) picture of my latest home screen.
