June 17, 201411 yr Does it support Android 4.4.2? I think I saw it doesn't...Don't know why I'm stuck on 4.4.2 though I installed it yesterday, it's not finished. With a anti-reflective screen cover it looks so nice turned off. the android rooting and flashing business confused me a bit but I ended up installing usb rom.

I have it remotely if it disappears
June 23, 201411 yr Author Charging problem is solved. If I charge on the pogo pins it can charge over 1A. I can keep the screen, wifi, gps on and the battery still charges. No more different kernel
June 23, 201411 yr Build looks tits, highly considering a tablet now for my car instead of a mini PC.
June 23, 201411 yr Author Thank you, I'll take some more pics os what was done yesterday. Getting way closer to completion. Car PC vs TabletLots of storage vs not a lot of storage (depending on kernel and mods though) Possibly more powerful hardware vs decent hardware Lots of processing options vs no processingAdding an external soundcard is easier for a Car PCHigh vs low power consumptionBig'ish box vs small device With Windows 8 I think you could get away with only a touch-screen and some sort of front-end like Centrafuse. To me, a Car PC implied more work (get components, set up everything) compared to the tablet, after modifying some wiring to make sure things work the way I need, only a couple of apps are left to configure. And there's the problem of space and weight, there's barely any room for anything in this car. I can live with only 10GB of storage space, the internal sound card and only the processing power of a miniDSP.
June 23, 201411 yr With nowadays technology you can get 32GB in those devices. Add the existing storage and you've got plenty of room.
June 23, 201411 yr Author Mine doesn't have an SD card slot. It can work in on-the-go mode with an external USB drive but it can't charge, at least not with the default kernel.
June 23, 201411 yr Mine doesn't have an SD card slot. It can work in on-the-go mode with an external USB drive but it can't charge, at least not with the default kernel.Default kernel SUCKS for car use compared to Timur's. Really should do it. SO MUCH better.
June 24, 201411 yr Did I mention it boots almost instantly? Usually about the time I buckle my seat belt.
June 24, 201411 yr Resumes playing whatever you were listening to as well. Without the ROM the tablet isn't a car audio solution, but a hacked tablet sitting in the dash pissing you off.
June 24, 201411 yr Author Mine doesn't turn off and since I use the car daily it loses at most 10% charge overnight with GPS on. I haven't installed Tasker yet, supposedly it's the bee's knees. I can't find a lot of things to complain about, charge works like a charm, I haven't tested OTG with charge through Pogo pins (all info is related to older versions and I have an app to enable it on the stock kernel supposedly). The thing is I still need to take it out to CNC the front trim. And by the time I get to do it, if something bugs me, I'll put the new kernel The ghetto rigged mount. I payed $30 for each set of license plates, might as well use them. Tablet sits a bit too high but once the front trim panel goes on, it presses it in position and it feels very solid. Day shot, button holes visible, holder visible. Hidden switch to charge when the car is off. I added it before soldering the pogo pins. Buttons installed
June 24, 201411 yr A smartphone without Tasker is a dumbphone. Mine automatically syncs with my phone to get on the internet when the car starts. Makes the GPS work better amongst other things.
June 24, 201411 yr Author Now that I look, it would be a good idea to paint the accelerator pedal. Hmm, powdercoating....
June 24, 201411 yr No external sd is a killer for me on that unit too. Of course, this is resolved by a USB hub. 500gb of music is no problem.

Makes the GPS work better amongst other things. The friend who helped with the buttons and modifying the power supply has Tasker and I've seen it in action, it's awesome.

June 24, 201411 yr Author It does with Timur's kernel. Stock but rooted will work too but supposedly won't charge.
June 24, 201411 yr It does with Timur's kernel. Stock but rooted will work too but supposedly won't charge.If you root why wouldn't you Timur?
June 24, 201411 yr Author I'm usually reluctant to update software, it's kind of silly, I know. But if it does bug me with tasker installed, I'll do it.
June 24, 201411 yr Backup what you have with Ti backup and then rip it, if you don't like it rip back. Takes a whopping 10 minutes.
June 24, 201411 yr Admin HEH, it would be fun to get together with Aaron and do some AutoX The Miata will get even more stitch welding and bracing before paint
