Android 10.1" install a couple of pics

steve1975 · 6th February 2016, 20:10

so here are a couple of pics of what my 10.1" tablet install will look like....i took the radio and a/c unit out to offer it up to see what it would look like,the pic shows an ipad air of ours but the android will be the same size but i have not bought it yet but did it to get an idea what it would look like,i need to fabricate an housing to fit but i'm up for a challenge

the a/c unit will be relocated to under the centre armrest which will be a mission in itself to fit...oh well challenge no:2 here i come

what do you guys think of my idea?

Wellllll, I did comment on a recent venture regarding tablets fitted to cars. Can't change my view. It looks like a tablet stuck to the dash, or in other words, it is what it is. I think they look bland to be honest, maybe I'm too conventional. I like a radio/cd/satnav in it's usual format. If you like it, do it.

I'm with you Heddy, I love to see the buttons and knobs etc much more in keeping with the car IMO but each to their own

Looking forward to seeing the finished article, I've a feeling it's going to look very nice, even if there's no knobs

I think your choice of tablet is too big and swamps the proportions. A seven inch tablet would look good IMO as the other recent post about fitting tablets has shown.
