Tablet Console build for M17TT180 - Complete
 

I have started this thread so I can give visual updates for Matt on his new console build.

This will be similar to mine but he has chosen a variety of options.

He has a bluetooth and aux option for sound input through his head unit.

He has requested that the console has the tablet, then stereo below and then the ATC unit.

His choice of colour is the same as mine, black carbon effect.

I will have music, video, obd through Torque, Sat nav, Internet and Internet radio (via phone data) but will also be able to be used as a normal tablet for apps games etc.

The tablet will be easily removed where it can be charged and music etc added, plus it will be chargeable in car.

The front end will be functional for the car and will be tailored to Matt's colour theme.

I will update progress and for those who haven't seen mine, this is my set up:

Will be looking at getting this done when a new zed arrives on the drive :)

This looks fantastic!! I'll be keeping a close eye on this thread :-)

Add me to the list when i get another ZS soon! :)

Well the console has arrived from Mark S, the tablet has been ordered, along with a few other bits and pieces, so the build will begin shortly!

Yay!

Got a Nexus 7 a month ago and now I want to do a build like this in the ZS as well!

On the tablet side, I'm looking for a few more things that Nexus 7 doesn't have:
- FM Radio (internet radio is great, but only works when you have a good data signal).
- Slightly larger screen. Should be room for 8"+ ?
- AD2P support for hands free via bluetooth. Tablet Talk app might be an alternative, although I believe it's not a perfect solution.

I could run the tablet through my external amplifiers, so can live without a standard car stereo. How did you manage the tablet's hardware buttons? i.e. on/off switch and volume.
controls?

which tablet did you go with?

Oh, Thank you TNT for your prompt delivery!
