Jesus what a rip... I could probably pick up the proclip and kuda for around a 100 bucks... hoe much do you think the cost of shiping from cali to canada would be?

Thanks for the offer man! but no worries I already ordered all the required parts. hopefully I can get the nexus 7 2013 soon, and have it setup and ready.

Just won a 2013 Nexus 7 on Ebay for 86.00 so I went ahead and ordered the rest of the needed parts from Amazon. This will be my project for next weekend.

Nice! Im happy to see im helping people out. Im working on installing a backup and forward view camera. Ill keep this thread updated with my progress.

Haven't quite decided how I'm going to mount the Nexus yet as I have iDrive. Looking and exploring alternative mounting options.

Im not sure if idrive screen cover is flat or not but velcro is possible if its flat or something custom fabricated.

I would not want to cover up the iDrive screen or put anything on top of it since it's very scratch prone. I have and idea in mind that involves magnets but not sure how the tablet would react to a a strong magnet on the back of it. I'm waiting to get the tablet in the mail so I can test my theory. I will post my final set up/solution for all.

please do, I don't think you will have any problems with the magnet because My main plan was to use a nexus 7 Wireless charger and beef up the magnets a bit (its been done before) but i chose not to because I thought I wold be dealing with the nexus constantly falling off which would be annoying to say the least, and i would have had to stream audio via a Bluetooth transmitter. overall the magnet would only affect it a little bit signal wise but it is ok if you find one strong enough. Lol still wish i had idrive sometimes.

Just finished installing my hidden dashcam based on this most excellent idea/post:http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...idden+dash+cam.

What I did differently is I ran a 10 ft mini USB to USB extension cable from the hidden camera in the mirror housing to the cigarette lighter socket under the glove box where I plugged the USB end straight into a USB cigarette phone/tablet charger. I still need to relocate the lighter socket into the glove box to neaten things up but it's working just as advertised. Rear stealth camera install is next lol.

[B.M.W.]

This combined with the hidden dashcam setup would be the ultimate modification.

Would you be so kind as to take a chance and tell us how you got it? (or at least PM me)

i'm running a similar setup, except i used a 2012 N7 and fitted the dock with some small magnets to hold everything in place and really make pulling the tablet out a cakewalk when necessary.

I'm considering upgrading to the 2013 N7 because of the QI charghing, that combined with a bluetooth aux jack, would (in theory) provide an absolutely cable free install (very OEM-ish)

That's a pretty cool idea..!! I like it, its clean and simple but a nice little mod as well..

That was my original plan but I was worried that with my drivibg style magnets wouldn't hold it on securely as well as wireless charging not being able to deliver as much power as a wire so it might die when preforming power hungry tasks like gps and music streaming.

Can a Galaxy Tab be used for this mod as well?

In theory yes, android marshmallow has usb dac capability built in however much of the work like auto poweroff will have to be done on your own. If you already own the tablet go for it.

I apologize for the ignorance, but could you explain what you mean by much of the work like auto power off must be done by myself?

No problem, with the nexus you can youse a specific kernel or "software" that sets the tablet up to be used in a car such as screen on when power is supplied and screen off when power is cut. It also puts the tablet in a deep sleep to save power and preven the screen turning on when the car is off potentially attracting theives. This and many more features are all implemented for us with the kenel specifoc to the nexus 7. So yes you can manually do all this to the Samsung its just a bit of work. Im not trying to sell the kenel but do a quick google search "timurs kernel" and you can see all the features explained in much better detail.

Thank you for taking the time to explain things, I highly appreciate! I understand what it means now, I'm definitely returning the Galazy tab soon!

No problem, you can pick up a nexus 7 2013 real cheap now and it has minimal branding and the matte black fits nicely with our interior.
