choicewhitemeat Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Well didn't get any audio work done this weekend. I thought the tablet would get here so I could at least start making a fiberglass mold. Won't be here until monday. Got the car washed and quick waxed though (way to damn cold to really wax it). I'm going to be starting my fiberglass mold of the HVAC bracket here soon. You will see where I am going with it once things start rolling. 2009 Nissan Maxima SV Super Black KH3 Hardwired Beltronics 955 Radar Pioneer DEH-M9400BH with Stock Bose Speakers Custom fiberglass HVAC display Nexus 7 Tablet w/ Custom Fiberglassed Magnet dock KnuKonceptz Big 3 and wiring 2 Alpine Type E 10's with Alpine MRP-M500 Build Log HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choicewhitemeat Posted January 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I've started on another one of these kits. I'm going to figure out which one I like better and sell the other one. I will most likely be selling it over at Maxima.org (more direct target). If anyone around here has an 09 Maxima and wants to shoot me a price for one, feel free. The problem at hand is I would really like to use the black HVAC housing that comes with the car but the part alone is around $100 and you have to buy the whole monochrome screen. I would be more than willing to make one of these for anybody (at a cost) but they would have to send me their HVAC screen, and a metra kit, so I can use their stock housing. My tablet is arriving today but it is soft bricked (the software won't load). Thankfully, I know how to get it into recovery mode and wipe everything using ADB fastboot commands. I'm starting the bracket mold and tablet mold tonight and I'll be sure to get pics. Been also craving to get a sub stage going. So hard when you don't have a garage and it is 0 degrees out. Anyways I got the oil and transmission fluid changed this weekend. My mom also ran over a dead deer in the car right before they sold it to me. She just told me about it and when I looked under the car, the majority of the plastic splash shields were gone. Nice little $100 fix. Really freaked my out the Nissan NS2 CVT fluid was green. 2009 Nissan Maxima SV Super Black KH3 Hardwired Beltronics 955 Radar Pioneer DEH-M9400BH with Stock Bose Speakers Custom fiberglass HVAC display Nexus 7 Tablet w/ Custom Fiberglassed Magnet dock KnuKonceptz Big 3 and wiring 2 Alpine Type E 10's with Alpine MRP-M500 Build Log HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooter99 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 No issues with it. I'm using my USB micro port to an HDMI Adapter. Then HDMI cable to a converter for HDMI to optical toslink which will run to the 3sixty.3. I'm not having any issues with it at all. I did look that up btw, and I can't use it for my s3. But that's ok I like my idea. Thanks for all the info. Keep up the good work! Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choicewhitemeat Posted January 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Well the guy who sold this is officially an idiot. I just simply flashed the stock image and now I have a fully functional Kit Kit (Android 4.4.2) Nexus 7. It is the older edition but I got it for $60 32GB. Try to find one for under $150. Time for some fiberglass. 2009 Nissan Maxima SV Super Black KH3 Hardwired Beltronics 955 Radar Pioneer DEH-M9400BH with Stock Bose Speakers Custom fiberglass HVAC display Nexus 7 Tablet w/ Custom Fiberglassed Magnet dock KnuKonceptz Big 3 and wiring 2 Alpine Type E 10's with Alpine MRP-M500 Build Log HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's ok I like my idea. Thanks for all the info. Keep up the good work! Kinda sucks I have to send the Pogo dock back. There just isn't enough room for a dock mount. There really isn't that much room at all. I ended up ordering one of these. I'm going to have to do some cutting and soldering to add it to my 2.1 amp charger. I could just buy a 2.1 amp brick but I don't think those bricks work nearly as well as an all in one unit. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=141003964544 Because I want to the tablet to sit flush against the screen opening, I think I'm just going to use magnets and epoxy them into the back of my tablet and fiberglass mold I'm making of the tablet. If I were to make a true mounting dock that holds it into place, I will have to fiberglass around the front somehow. Does anybody know where they possibly sell hobby magnets? I need to pick up some suede anyways so I may just hit up Jo Anns and see what they have. 2009 Nissan Maxima SV Super Black KH3 Hardwired Beltronics 955 Radar Pioneer DEH-M9400BH with Stock Bose Speakers Custom fiberglass HVAC display Nexus 7 Tablet w/ Custom Fiberglassed Magnet dock KnuKonceptz Big 3 and wiring 2 Alpine Type E 10's with Alpine MRP-M500 Build Log HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooter99 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Home depot has NEO's now. In the hardware section. It's i a blue and yellow package. I just bought some last week cause I had the same thought on mine. I was going to pull the back of the tablet off, and see if the magnets will connect with the plastic backing between them. IF they will, I'm home free cause I don't want to epoxy them on the back of the tablet, and I don't really want to drill holes in it either. Although I could put a carbon fiber wrap on the back to take care of any flaws. Hmmmmm. Anyway, yes, home depot has them.

choicewhitemeat Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 If you find another first gen nexus lemme know lol, screen on mine broke and I'm waiting to fix it before I buy the pogo charger. Really liking the build do far man! Go on ebay and search Nexus 7 broken. You will find dead ones the have fully intact screens. Or you can buy a complete screen replacement for around $62. It's actually one of the easier devices to disassemble. Anyways got some fiberglassing done. Wish it wasn't so cold her I could start assembling tommorrow. Need to stop by the rents house and pick up a hot glue gun so I have a way or temporarily assembling the mount and testing the lineup. Also need to go get some magnets. I'm just going to epoxy the magnets to the back of my nexus. I really don't care about the backs of this device because replacements are so cheap (around $6 on ebay). I've been playing around with this Tasker app for android. Really cool app. Allows me to control a bunch of functions when the tablets sees power from the car and when it doesn't when the car is turned off. Basically, I can turn up the brightness, turn on bluetooth and Wifi, turn up the media volume all the way, and start playing music. When the car is turned off, I basically have it set to go into sleep mode and conserve battery. This is basically going to be a perma-mount so I need figure out a way to preserve the battery as much as possible when it is off. I tested it last night buy leaving it on my nightstand for 8 hours while I slept and it only went down 2%. Amazing how much battery these things have when the screen is off and there is no cellular radio. Anyways here are some fiberglass pics. 2009 Nissan Maxima SV Super Black KH3 Hardwired Beltronics 955 Radar Pioneer DEH-M9400BH with Stock Bose Speakers Custom fiberglass HVAC display Nexus 7 Tablet w/ Custom Fiberglassed Magnet dock KnuKonceptz Big 3 and wiring 2 Alpine Type E 10's with Alpine MRP-M500 Build Log HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo1103 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Yea tasker can be really fun to mess with. I've gotten 7 hours out of my nexus 7 with Bluetooth navi and WiFi all on in my car. Ill be starting in the charging dock soon though. 2002 Honda CR-VAlpine 9887My BuildRebuilding...
