So I decided to do a tablet in dash but I wanted it to be removable so I could take it with me or store it out of the way. I chose the Motorola Xoom to work with. Since I had a fibre optics factory audio setup, I basically had to scrap it and start over. I put an alpine head unit where my 6 disc was so that it's out of the way and the Xoom will look like my primary head unit. But really it will be docked up and an aux cable will run from the Xoom dock to the Alpine unit. This is what I have so far...











Not entirely sure where to go from here but I have a RAM Mount heading my way in the mail. I somehow need to couple the dock to the RAM mount and then attach that to the dash kit. Updates to come shortly.

Very nice but may be a bit hard to use while driving. Keep posting, interesting.

I've got the Xoom setup with large icons on the home screens to get to my music, nav, pandora, voice search, and a few others. I'll post pics soon.

So here is the setup as we speak. It is soon going to be connected via Bluetooth Audio so that the aux plug won't have to be plugged in at all. Sorry if the quality isn't too great. By installing the Xoom, some of the features it gives me are:

• Entire iTunes Library
• Turn by Turn Navigation
• Full Internet Browser
• Video Chat
• Car becomes a mobile hotspot
• Everything Voice Activated
• Netflix and Video Playback for personal videos
• Removable head unit and stored in glove box

pretty cool install but why not get a tablet that fits into that space....on ebay they have a nice 6" gps that has bluetooth, mp3, video everything....I am going to do a custom install in my girls BMW X5 replace her old Nav, I am going to take her LCD screen out and replace with the 6"GPS I will take that apart as well but when I am done it will look stock. Just my 2 cents

Thank you! That's why I went with this car, because of the color. I have an iPad also, my Xoom kills it. So much better.
