Apple/Android Tablet as Main Interface

Jus wondering....

Has anyone here done this kind of setup as the main dashboard of our eps? it just seem like a pretty cool/cheap interior upgrade.

That reeeally nice! I'm surprised more cars don't actually include something like this with off the shelf tablets.

That was very professionally done, so I hate to think of the price. Plus that bit one controller is very expensive...and for the investment in the install and gear it would drive me nuts to have a volume control at the end of a cord like that. It just looks too after market!

One guy is using a volume widget on the screen to save the money of an external processor and not have a wire running. There aren't perfect solutions because tablets aren't really designed with this purpose in mind, but I don't imagine it will be very long until there are apps developed to make it easier.

I just picked up a Nexus 7 last night and plan on doing this to my EP3. Should look pretty slick...

This is pretty cool.. I would just get the AppRadio 3, or the 4 when it comes out myself, and save all the other nonsense of the install.

app radios are roughyl 2x the cost, and are not nearly flexible in what they can do.

spotify while driving? google navigation?, google voice-chat?, nope
