They cant be much differece I already have a decent kenwood double din unit so Im just looking for something with a bit of media and mainly sat nav.

Anybody tried these out and also would a 7" tablet fit into a 2004 cubby, cant seem to find cubby measurements anywhere?

For the record the new Galaxy tab 7.7 just fits also held by lid only secure :)

 

Dont do with i did though and push to hard on the lid and mark it on the lip above.....

a bit if tape would properly prevent this

 

The super amoled screen looks great and better with reflections! :)

I was researching the same thing a few days ago. i was looking at this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310372574084? ... 1423.l2649

 

It runs android 2.2 but a custom rom so theres no need for back buttons etc as the hardware keys are all software keys on the screen

That looks alot better than the other 2 linked on this thread, only drawback for me is the lack of bluetooth.

 

The only problem for me to make mine would be to work out how to make it turn on and stay on when the car starts and to turn off and stay off when no ignition. Ive built a couple of units the same as nurrishs and imo there cack :thumbdown:

If i could find a unit with no buttons and only soft keys on the screen with bluetooth then that would be brilliant!

Touch screen type: Resistive

 

No thanks.... your be poking away at the screen went driving missing and driving you mad...

 

Better of with a older Galaxy tab 7" can be picked up from £170 (my old one will be up for sale soon)

 

Ah yeah good spot! Capacitive is miles better :thumbs:
