mighty car mods put a i pad in an outback if you want to try and fit a i pad mini or i pod touch in there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-ALYArl ... 4&index=20Bantum wrote:The back 'board' in last photo is only carboard - The aim is to do it in brushed aluminium, similar to what I've done with the Wagon ...
The side's of Pod are to be covered in vinyl, simlar to door trims. As for the actual head unit, it may end up being a tablet PC of some kind - I haven't got round to that bit yet ...
I'm also looking to do a few pages on the Sound System outling the process, similar to how I did the LED's - When I get round to it ...
To much to do & not enough do$h ...
Ciao, Bantum ...

I'll be putting a tablet in my wagon when I get around to it; no problems with depth and you have your own sat-nav, internet, movies etc in car Only problem is I think you need an amp so you can run the audio out of the tablet into the car stereo. Looked at a few tablets and I think any 7-8 inch tablet will be right for Brumbies/MY's.
Will it ever end!?

Do any of the tablets on the market come with the ability to plug a GPS aerial in?Silverbullet wrote:I'll be putting a tablet in my wagon when I get around to it; no problems with depth and you have your own sat-nav, internet, movies etc in car Only problem is I think you need an amp so you can run the audio out of the tablet into the car stereo.

Yeah - I generally don't like anything with an 'i' in front of it ... ... ( Subaru's Excepted )
I've been looking at the Samsung Galaxy S2 with 4G or blue tooth ... I more like the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 updated with 4G and 'Jelly Bean' as an option ...
To get GPS working you may need a few add ons ...
Not decided yet ...

Update :
I just did a quick measure check - the 'note 10.1' is way to big to fit at: 262 x 180 mm - Doh ...
The max size to fit space would be approx: 190 x 130 mm
The iPAD Mini comes in at: 200 x 135 mm - Hmmm, Close ...
I'll keep looking ...

The IdeaTab comes in at just 3mm over at 193mm and is way under the 130mm.

It's got an FM tuner and aerial but I'm not sure if it would be appropriate for a car install. More home work to be done but it might be worth a look.
And this Samsung is the same size as the Lenovo

DIN Mounts ...
Yeah I was also looking at that one, specifications Here ... price is Ok too - about $ 260 ...hydrowill wrote:Check out the ASUS nexus 7. Currently integrating one of these into my outback. Pretty cool piece of kit.
With dimensions of 198.5 x 120 x 10.45 mm it would need some creative mounting though - hight not a problem, width might be though ... bit tight towards bottom end of panel.
I was going for a standard double DIN (180 x 100 mm panel ) mount so that I can swap it out at any time for future upgrades etc ...
What sort of head unit ( for Amps - etc. ) would you need to run it in a car ?
P.S. - It does have a Mini USB + WIFI ... It could be linked via cable etc ...

There is a dial on top of the main light switch that adjust the dash light levels ...steptoe wrote: ... My Brumby fan dial lights up, think the bright intenisfies with the speed too ! ...
Note : This is also a spare dash which I'm looking at swaping over, its the electroic version though ...
Add : + Wiring :
Yep - done that mod - looks prudy. I will have to take some pic's of it later ...steptoe wrote: ... MY's other than Brumbies got lights behind the wiper and lights labels in the pod just below each switch ...
Also did the main cabin lights to LED's, more here ...

Console Update ...
I should follow up with what I did with some of this lot ...
I took apart the console & replaced the cover on it ...
Added some padding ...
+ some shots of fixing it up ... ( Note : the orange tape is double side sticky )
Note : the green stuff peels off when ready to stick it ...
Then finally installed :
You'll note that the switches were made good for a power window conversion, still yet to be done though ...
Note : I'm still after the rubber surround for the brake handle ...
Cheers, Bantum ...

Watching with interest! Want to see what you do where that old embossed strip used to be on the upper half, since you can't replicate the embossing. Looking for ideas for my interior
