WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 What tablet did you go with? Looks neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcor420 Posted August 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Thanks. I got the ASUS zenpad 8.0 I didn't permanently install it. Just thought it would cool to have a tablet that I could have as a optional head unit since I have sync Bluetooth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcor420 Posted August 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 It a actually a really ghetto and cheap way of doing it but its more of a trial and error kinda thing. No matter what store or what website I went to, I couldn't find any real easy way of doing. So I just rigged something up and so far so good. All I needed was 2 things 3m hanging clips and black spray paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

they_say_im_crusty Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) I have a 2008 that I have been using various tablets for music and nav as well as ways of keeping the tablet in place. I have used wood molding, aluminum molding, screws, and even attempted a fiberglass mount. Everything I have tried looks ghetto. The tablets have flown off during hard braking and acceleration so I have always been on the lookout for a better way to secure it. I currently have a LG G-Pad 8.3 from Verizon. It is a bigger tablet than my previous ones and takes up a good deal of space across the front of the dash's cutout for the radio. I have the tablet held in place with a couple of bulletin board hanging tabs but it looks ghetto. I am planning on replacing the entire system and have it controlled by the G-Pad. I came across something called a Koala mount on eBay while looking for a wireless charging dock. I like the way they look and how it would allow the tablet to be removed fairly easy. I ordered a set and will see what happens when they arrive. I don't know if there will be enough clearance between the tablet, mount, and bezel trim for the radio considering my tablet's bigger dimensions. I do believe they might work for smaller 7" and 8" tablets. For $15 its worth a try. http://www.dockem.com/Koala-iPad-Wall-Mount-p/20006.htm Edited August 22, 2015 by they_say_im_crusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
