After several month's of reading through the various posts about satnav/car-pc retro fitting, I decided to try and install an Android 7" Tablet.

Nice project, sounds much simpler than my car computer was!

Great stuff, that's the exact in-line filter I ordered. Hope fully it will sort out the background noise I'm having as well.

I have to say I wasn't expecting it to fix anything but went from annoying wine while my computer was starting and noises when accelerating to complete silence (aprt from when you turn the volume up to max, but it does that with nothing plugged in!)

Sounds like the same noises I'm hearing on mine at the moment.

I saw the same tablet when I was looking into doing the same thing, I thought the naming was ironic

Must be because of the naming that it's such a great fit

Have a look at 'Tablet Talk' (assuming you have an Android phone too). It gives you a pop-up on the tablet when your phone is receiving a call.

judging by the connectors, there's no way in connecting a rear camera to the tablet. Am I wrong? |

I'm not sure, the tablet has a USB host port which can be used for an external device such as a 3G modem.

Nice install, I was also looking at the Freelander 7" Android GPS /Tablet, glad to know it fits. Did the screen line up with the space in the dash? No hidden pixels or visible plastic bezel?

The screen lines up perfectly with the space in the dash, there are no hidden pixels. It sits perfectly flush at the bottom of the space in the dash and has a tiny gap of about 0.5mm at the top which is hardly noticeable. It also only has about 1mm of plastic bezel visible at the top.

Given the Freelander PD20 was such a tight fit, do you think a tablet with an extra 5mm height (the long edge) could squeeze in too? 190mm vs 185mm. 1st time FL2 owner. 2007 SE i6 in Tambora Flame. |

185mm was a tight fit but I still had space for double sided tape to sick the sides in place.
