Set up my N7... Rooted and flashed USBrom- designed specifically to install N7's in cars!
Step 3
install apps/settings etc
I'm using car dock ultra
navfree
torque
tasker
apollo music player
step 4
get the nexus in the facia!
this was a tricky one but got there, had problems with the power as the facia is only so wide I filed down part of the inside and made a bezel so it sits back which accommodates the space for the USB cable I then had to make sure it would stay in place etc
Step5
get it all in!
I have it running so ingition on= tablet wake, car home ultra starts- CHU sorts out the brightness- IE in the dark
ignition off tablet closes all apps and goes into deep sleep
Future plans:
DAB/freeview stick

Looking good, is there a big difference between using dac and headphones out ? I'm doing the same thing for my car but with main functionality sat nav and reverse camera (easycap + analog camera)

And in the dark
I haven't played any music through it, just sound effects to make sure it works
Will test and compare

Activate Navi Panel without Car Kit, with simple mod

Hi
I don't know if people realise this but you can modify a generic car charger to automaticlly activate the Navi Panel mode so you don't need to buy the SU400 kit.
You will need a car charger that is capable of suppying 1 amp, to enable fast charging. ( Use an app called Spoon Charge to check) or disassemble the USB Micro A plug and ensure Data- and Data + are soldered together. DO NOT solder Data - and Data + togehter if not already done so this means the device is not capable of supplying 1amp.
If so you should have a unused pin ( this is called the ID pin) solder this along with Data + and Data - to OV.
When the charger is connected it will launch Navi Panle if enabled and turn on bluetooth and pair to a set device.
I will take a pic of the modded plug and post it up. In theory I would assume the same mechanism is used on more than this device.

OMG LEGEND bro. lol. Finally someone figured out HOW to do this so you don't have to buy that overpriced HD2 carkit. Thanks. Mod's this should be a sticky.
mods seriously this should be front page news
Are you sure, that this will work? Did you tried it yourself? Cause my CU-S400 is also activaiting the Navipanel even if i don't have plugged in the Charger! So I think that it hasn't anything to do with the mAh-size of the charging unit....
You're right.

[Q] Speaker Dock/Bluetooth Speakers

When I used my iPad, I had the Jensen Rocker dock that was pretty much perfect for all media purposes, with a swivel mount to allow the iPad to be used in portrait or landscape, rather decent built-in speakers in the base, remote control, etc.
I'm sure the answer is 'no', but does anybody know of any sort of speaker dock available for the Tab? I've only found things that require being plugged into the headphone jack or syncing with Bluetooth, which would be fine if there were some central spot to at least perch the Tab so it looks like it was built for such use.
I have the HDMI dock, but even plugging that into some external speakers would look more like a rigged Frankenstein contraption. It seems that accessory makers have all but given up on the Tab, so are we pretty much stuck without all the goodies like a speaker dock? What do you guys use, if anything, for this purpose?
Hi, If you prefer quality sound over just-some-sound, then BlueTooth cannot be because they are bandwidth limited compared to the full audio band record in CD. I don't have a dock, but if I ever wants sound to SGT, then I would get it from headphone jack with voodoo sound anti-jitter and 128x oversampling.
I use a Bluetooth receiver connected to my Stereo System.

The Tab just sits in one of these cheap docks:
I bought the samsung bluetooth speakers for 50 euro at 1dayfly.nl and satisfied as they are officially 200 euro.

Review Projector up to 130 inches

Mod Edit : Video removed for selling site promoting.
Hello guys, this time I bring a review of a mini projector that is capable of taking up to 130 ", not with the best sharpness or resolution certainly fits but we will take into account that we speak of its price is only € 44, Which becomes an excellent choice to start in this world, since we can perfectly watch a movie or play games with our favorite console and will not leave us bad taste.

We started with UNIC UC 40 unpacking
As we can see, the projector comes very well protected, inside the box has as a rubber wrap. (And although not seen, also came wrapped with bubble wrap).
Inside the box we are first with instructions, a remote control, a power cable and a component AV cable (RCA) and the projector.
On the right side we have a sd card slot, hdmi input, AV input for component cable, an output to connect external speakers and two USB ports although one of the usb is only to power some device such as a chromecast, A hard disk etc.
On the left side we find only the power input, on the back side we have the infrared port to be able to control the projector with the remote control, on the bottom we find the speaker and a screw to regulate the height of the projector.
And finally at the top, we have the buttons to control the projector and these two casters that serve to focus the image and adjust the tilt.
According to what the manufacturer tells us. The life of the lamp is 20,000 hours and the consumption is only 55w. It has a resolution of 800x480 pixels and a light output of 800 lumens.
I'm going to leave some pictures so you can see how it looks.

Accessories Ready For + Lap Dock HP X3 Elite

Hello, everyone, I want to share my experience with HP X3 Elite Lap Dock and Ready For.
Pros:
- works out of the box
- quality of keyboard is excellent, screen is also good
- size -> I was looking for something small and ultraportable
- price, I bought new for about 350pln (~80 Euro), USB C <-> USB C cable, 45W charger, USB C otg cable included
Cons:
- Audio is not working, you have to switch to phone speaker, Bluetooth or usb c headset
- touchpad is not very comfortable at this moment. Tapping is the only way how you can left click, buttons in touchpad are not working. (propably update should fix it)
- firmware update is only possible through HP Elite X3 smartphone with windows mobile (one of my friend have one, I should get this phone in few days)
For me its the perfect solution to work with termux and debian arm64
Overall, I can realyy recommend working with this lap dock. Even if not for motorola, its cheap and good as second screen to my laptop (linux, windows tested without any issue)
Cheers
PS sorry for picture quality, I only have my old LG G2 to take a picture

Unfortunately software in HP X3 is bugged and I can't update firmware

In your opinion, what is the best way get AA on a mazda 2013 radio?

Hello there!
I have a question, I hope I can be clear enough given the lot of context and specif terms I'm missing on the matter, thanks in advance for your answers!
I have one of these:
mazda 6 2013, rear camera, wheel controls (phone, vol, mode, assistant), bose sound (I think that is relevant in terms of hw such as can bus?)
I basically love it but I'm still missing e.g. waze, g maps on that little screen while driving.
I have seen newer cars that can be upgraded to android auto without losing any features; I was wondering.
- are you aware if there is any external "AA module" that can be plugged to the car radio and, e.g. upgrade aux port to wire my phone into it?
- if there is no such a module, can something like this be done e.g. by tricking the radio to somehow receive video signal (like the reverse camera function) from a AA dongle or the phone itself?

Upgrade car or buy genuine aftermarket AA unit (not aliexpress). Avoid adapters, they are junk.
Seek local reputable installer.
Genuine AA units defined here: https://www.android.com/auto/compatibility/#compatibility-stereos
thank you very much!
I'm considering those as well; however I find myself overwhelmed by the fact the unit has to speak to many parts of the car (not as many as with new cars, tho!), talking about rear camera, steering wheel controls, assistant button, aux ports and such.
I would still do it that way if I do not lose features (I would love to even turn the "assistant" button on the steering wheel to the real thing!)
