glk android radio conversion

hi guys i am posting my new project
replacing the original 5inch screen with a samsung galaxy tab 3 7inch
so i ordered the original trim for the 7inch lcd from dealer
comes from germany so i will only have it in 2 weeks

currently working on the rom for the android so that it does what i need

like on screen soft keys at all time since all the buttons will be hidden by the trim

hibenate when no power so that the screen turns off when the car is off and automaticly comes on when the car accessory is active

custom mercedes boot logo

so the plan is to connect the charging cable to the 120v in the trunk for faster charging and the audio to the aux in the glove box

the hard part is

adding the original back, end, and wheel of original radio to navigate in the tablet

if you are wondering about the original screen displays well i will be loosing that info but its pretty easy to learn it by heart , but i will extend the wire if too short and put that 5inch display in the glove box so when needed it will be there


what do you guys think ?
all comments and suggestions please
any wire diagrams you may have please post on this thread
