through the bluetooth dongle, he has a wiring harness to go from his car audio wires to the bluetooth harness, then he connects his N7 to the bluetooth box.

Hey,
This is fab! I'm looking at this and planning on doing the same thing to my car. I'm just wondering if you can still use the parrot for a normal car kit while listening to music - i.e. If you get in the car with your iphone, then start driving, listening to music or having the sat nav on etc.... 10 mins in to journey your cell rings, can you answer with the parrot and it shuts off the nexus? Also, how much clearance was there between the power connection and the edge of the double din plastics? I'm installing to a different car in the UK so just wondering if yours was a standard double din adapter of if it was a custom job? I'm now pricing and ordering the tablet and parts to begin my install Thanks for the ideas! |

I've considered the dock but there really isn't enough clearance for the extra bulk without heavy mods. That's something I didn't want to do, would love to see what you come up with, removability would be nice if we can fid a way for it to not be "hobby project" looking.

Great job. Clean install.
If the SWC are no longer functioning. You should swap it out with the blank fom a base model. My biggest pet peeve is having a button or switch that does not work. |

I'm having trouble understanding what exactly the parrot unit is doing. Does this handle both driving the speakers and as a hands free device? And how is it setup?
I really want to use a nexus 7 as a head unit but the only thing I have not been able to figure out is how to have hands free calling work somewhat seamlessly. If you could help me out with this that would be great. |

I really want to do this, but i don't want the screen for the parrot bluetooth. Is there an app that controls the parrot?

Your one pic answers my question somewhat.
But, how well does the GPS work with the unit in-dash ? I would not have thought the antenna sensitive enough. For this to work for me, the GPS has to be practically 100%. Thanks. |

Have you found any comparable devices like the parrot that can do a better job?

Here's my version. It's pretty awesome having a tablet in the car lol. I have obd gauges, Internet tethered from my phone, navigation, equalizer in the glove box, full integration from my phone with tablet talk, and my factory radio is installed behind it so I can use the factory bluetooth

Very nice work!
I love the concept, was wondering you could tie it into aftermarket AMP/SUB. Is the Nexxus 7 the same size as a double DIN or is it slightly bigger? |

Yeah that's how mine is. I have an 1/8 inch to rca cable running to the equalizer as the main input and the outputs from the equalizer run to my amp for the speakers and sub. The nexus 7 is a little bigger in both directions. I saw that the galaxy tablet has similar dimensions
