    Carputer?

    So, my girlfriend owns a Scion Xb, and on their forums people are using kindle fires and ipads for onboard computers with music and everything else. Does anyone know if the Iphone or Android based tuners work on the Kindle, or has anyone else thought of this?

    the nexus7 is a better option than the kindle, the kindle runs a custom version of android that is stripped down, and it also does not have a gps.


    The nexus7 is a much better option

    im in the process of putting an ipad in the dash.

    got the part for the center console to move to heater controls down.


    got this piece to start molding

    I also have the ipad. but the mini ipad looks like it will fit alot easier. So im gonna just wait a few and see how that looks.

    these are some pics from MMCustom works, He is a head of me on actually getting things done.

    that guy does some crazy awesome work. i also agree ipad may be too big. (only cause it doesn't fit). i will do this with a ipad mini if they are released. just gotta figure out charging. audio out and stuff like that.
