Default Tablet Dash Integration?

Has anyone tried to get a tablet integrated into the dash to replace the GPS screen? I'm getting my car on Sunday and am already planning out the ideas I have. Since it is a GPS unit from 2002 I'm assuming it may not be the best. I was thinking it would be cool to get a Android tablet(probably has better integration with car systems than iPad), and replace or cover the screen with it. That way you could integrate it with the sound system and have a better all around system in the car for apps etc and more up to date. I've seen it done in some other cars and it looks pretty clean with customer bezels to fit it.

never seen such a thing, but would be great to have, nice replacement for the antiquated audio and nav in our older LS430s.

There is no kit for this. Plus your dealing with all the controls of the AC, radio, etc. Better off just getting a bluetooth or 1/4" connection and setting up a nice mount.

There is a video of a guy in Japan with a Celsior with a tablet installed where the factory navigation. I'll try to find the video.

That's crazy looking. Relocation of the oem controls to the center console...

Exactly what I was looking for! I get my UL delivered today, so I'll start playing around to see if I can do something similiar. I'm looking at doing alot of custom stuff on the car, including doing some custom headlights and taillights. I would love to incorporate the light bars from the newer BMW's as taillight on my LS, or even figure something out with OLED.
