Reloacating head unit to glove box?
Is there a how to anywhere?
I've searched like crazy but it seems like there is bits and pieces of info scattered through several threads. Normally this wouldn't be an issue to piece together but most of the info in these threads conflicts each other or is very hard to understand if your not a audio pro, lol. I consider myself a novice audio guy but far from a noob. What I'm trying to accomplish is, install a 7" galaxy tab where my factory HU is and relocate my HU to the glove to retain my assist, PDC and other functions. The galaxy tab will only be used to run NAV and a music library through the AUX function. From what I researched, the radio harness, antenna, and the fiber optic cable has to be extended to retain all the features I listed above. My car details are in my sig and I'm unsure of what specific HU I have. It says BMW Professional on the HU but there are no tweeters at the bottom of the A pillars. Hope I explained this thoroughly enough to understand. Any help would be greatly appreciated! -Nick |

Why remove the head unit. You can mount in the center above the air vents.
I am almost done with Nexus 7 install that has all wires hidden an uses a modified Nexus 7 dock. |

Second this question. I'm interested in both of these projects, as I would like to do something similar with a Nexus 7.

Since both of you have mentioned the Nexus 7 tab. Does is also have built in GPS to run nav on it? Ive seen a lot of Galaxy tab in dash setups, but not Nexus. Any particular reason for chossing the Nexus?

I just prefer Nexus devices in general, which is the reason I own that particular tablet. I also own a Samsung Galaxy Nexus (on Verizon) and a Nexus 10. The Nexus 7 is used for traveling around, and I'd be interested in making a dashboard/dock to drop it in the ride to use for nav and then pull it out and take it around with me when leaving the car.

Nexus 7 has GPS. Chose it over others because it was quad core.
I'm using Co_pilot for offline maps, Also using a BT OBDII with an app called Torque. Mine is mounted lower, but check this thread. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=791114 |
