Hey Brian - what double-DIN unit did you slap in there? Looks fantastic and may be just thing I need in my 2008 HSE, but I've been paranoid over what to buy, what will fit, etc etc etc. |

Just to update my install photos, had some trouble because when disconnecting old satnav screen radio stops working but I could manage to keep screen on behind the tablet install. Now everything is working fine: gps, isdb tv, videos, themes.

Could you not just piggy back one of the fuses (I think the F5 rings a bell for a switched 12v with the ignition) to a cigarette charger behind the dash. Then on the tablet, go into the 'developer options' in the settings menu and enable the 'stay awake' mode (screen never switches off under charge). Then just select the lowest time for the screen sleep and when the ignition is turned off, the power to the tablet is lost and the screen goes to sleep in 15-odd seconds? |

There is an app called auto sleeper , which i use it. powers my tablet down and puts it into standby mode when i turn off ignition. Tablet powers back up when ignition starts. at Reboots really quick .

@wilkie, the tablet in mine is 185mm and that was a tight fit. 192mm might be just too wide.

Had previously fitted a Tom Tom sat nav , but had a mishap and cracked the screen so decided to replace with tablet. I looked everywhere for a 7 inch quad core tablet , there all too big , I made a template of max size and opening size on transparent sheet , and overlayed this on various tablets . The problem is all 7 inch screens vary in width and height , If your not careful the bezel will hide some of the screen. . Ended up with an Archos 70 xenon. its only dual core but I find it fast enough, Added a 64gig Sd so it now replaces my Ipod. fitted bluetooth adapter to Aux so audio comes through stereo. It tethers to my Iphone for internet access and Tune in radio app gives you 100s of stations. I had to mod tablet by reducing its width (188mm is max ) using multi tool. Also had to modify one of the vents for power out. |

One more question: does the PD20 support the OTG USB?

When I get round to doing this, I will use a tablet with SIM card so I can have live traffic, alerts etc. Waze is a brilliant 'community nav' app and I would miss it too much by going to a unconnected app. Equally I would miss the ability to stream digital radio stations, podcasts etc.
