Well, it's decided. Wired route.
I bought the 7inch lcd screen. Just trying to figure out the mount.
I went wired instead of wireless for these reasons:
- Android will get slow and needs replacement. To replace the Android part but not the screen part will save me from reconfiguring the mount
- The lcd screen comes with a very thin bezel, much thinner than Nexus 7
- If I wire my Nexus or any other Android device, it's going to look ugly with all the wires sticking out. Not to mention the battery will heat up and risk a fire
- I might be able to run a USB cable from the Android box to my USB port in the arm rest and might be able to use the steering wheel buttons. And if success; that saves me around $140 CAD.
- Convenience. I don't need to remember to bring the tablet or remember to charge it
- I can attach my backup camera and still be connected to the internet. Current setup uses a wifi hotspot from the camera that I have to switch to every time. Very slow operation
