4G Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 accessory for my 129

Instead of installing a new radio I installed a 4G Android 8" tablet computer in my 2000 SL500 that I connected to my OEM radio sound system fitted with a 3.5 mm AUX input adapter.

I ran the AUX line from the radio to the center dash eyeglass case where I installed a 12V cigarette lighter adapter with a dual 1.0A & 2.1A USB car charger to charge the Tablet and an Abco Tech hands free Bluetooth car kit.

With this I'm able to answer a hands free Bluetooth phone, play Internet radio & TV w/ movies, GPS mapping w/ directions, eMail, Google voice command browsing through the BOSE sound system, and much more.

For flexibility I'm able to remove the Tablet from the center dash car mount w/ a quick release and install it in a Bluetooth Keyboard Cover for mobility.

Hi Charles, please see http://www.ebay.com/itm/171397304159?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Note: I bent the Air Vent Hook a little so that it catches on the upper lip of the eyeglass case. When I shut the door the Charger Sync Data Cable exits the upper right side of the door.

It works great!

As stated above, try and picture a "AUX line from the radio to the center dash eyeglass case where I installed a http://www.ebay.com/itm/301391934412?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

3.5mm Ground Loop Isolator Audio Noise Filter

Fitted the AUX line from the radio with a http://www.ebay.com/itm/381091846821?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT to the Abco Tech hands free Bluetooth car kit to cut out audio noise. Works fine!
