oh, i didnt realize you werent gonna velco this, i thought for some reason you were gonna relocate the climate controls or something and mount it in the dash.....not digging some bug bulky pouch sticking out over them but if you do, then thats all that matters

I guess next time you can get the Pioneer Appradio 2(record low price of 279.00 at best buy) and hide away for itouch or ipad somewhere in the car. I was going this route but there's no extra A/V or AUX source in the headunit for my headrest monitors but you can use an rooted android phone and stock iphone/itouch at the same time.

Just wondering why are you fiberglassing it in? The only purpose of that is if you were doing a permanent install. Since you are still keeping the stock headunit, I would probably recommend you doing a swiveling mount. Kinda like a cell phone holder thing. Either way, keep us updated on the progress! I'm debating if I'm going to do a Nexus7 into my dash still. I bought it 3 months ago and still haven't gotten around to putting it in lol.

If you can fit it, please do it...I haven't seen a GS with an install like this. I was thinking of the Samsung Tab 2, its 170.00 at Costco now. Here's a Audi S4 with it.

I think the smaller size will look much better. Also, Android FTW for this application.

(Also...FREAKING COIL PACKS! lol)

I guess i wanted that "stock" look but after test fitting it, it just sticks out to much.


starting at 4:40 is how i wanted to do it at first.
