Thinking about using a Galaxy Tab as a head unit....

C'mon, guys, this isn't that hard *lol* Instead of using a regular stereo head unit, I'm going to run my stereo off a Tablet, like this one:



That way, you don't need to pay for a small screened Garmin or TomTom unit, pay for the upgrades, pay for this,
pay for that. You can have full flexibility and a camera to record day to day driving and offroading
adventures, etc. It'll have your GPS and slew of other features, as well.

Using this to play the music: http://androidcommunity.com/poweramp...roid-20101022/
Using this for regular voice commands: http://www.vlingo.com/demo/screenshots
And using Google Maps for GPS

All on a big, clear 7" touchscreen that's portable.

Since we can't really use our rearview mirrors, I'm going to fabricate a mount out of a case so that I can change it
to whichever of my 2 vehicles I'm driving.

Then, you get a car charger and hard wire it in. Get a 3.5mm to RCA cable and run it to an EQ, which I picked up
and posted about earlier. Then run your EQ to your amps like you normally would so your input source is the Tab. CarPC goodness on
the cheap and tidy w/out the need to permanently alter anything. Forget Ford/Microsoft
Sync and all that stuff. This is a more efficient way to do more.
