Nexus 7 w/ Car Mount
Here's pics of my Nexus 7 using the Xenomix SHG-NX4000 car mount. This one slides into the CD player slot, they have another model that uses a suction cup.
From my the drivers view:

View from dead ahead:
The mount has 3 tabs that slide into the CD player slot a little bit. I had to put an extra layer of rubber to make it thicker so it could expand enough to make a tight fit.
It sticks out about an inch too much, so when you put the car in park, you have to adjust it so the shift **** doesn't hit it.
Other than that... It's great and easy to remove and store. I got it on eBay for about $35 shipped. It fits the dimensions of the Nexus 7 just perfect. If the your tablet is less wide, it won't be able to hold it in.

Alright, was able to test it a bit...
I was able to adjust it so it does NOT hit the shift **** while in park. It did shake while going over bumps, but it comes with a rubber threaded rod that threads to the back of the mount that is used to give it more support. So the rod is actually touching right below the AM/FM, AUX/CD buttons, and with this, it is very solid. Pics below...
No longer hitting shift ****:

Awesome! Thanks for posting this. I've been wondering what kind of mount to use for my Nexus 7 as well. I recently used it as a navigation (tethered to my phone) and it worked flawlessly so i've been wanting to mount it inside my car when I need it. I'm gonna buy this!
