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!

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!
