well, after getting the tablet all situated.. i kept on falling into small nick nack things that were going to take some real customizing.... lots of 90deg connectors (USB's, power, audio), modifying a/c vent that would remove adjustability from the drivers vent, and just not being practical for stereo use.... and after relocating my stereo to the cubby hole behind the shifter there was not enough room to really get it in there all the way with out it sticking out 1.5 inches which caused me to lose function of my cig outlets....
but dont worry... the tablet will still be functional in the truck... i just will have to go another route... the new plan is to...
-im going to remove all the stuff that i did to the dash part.. just some cutting of added parts.. all can be removed with out damaging the original holder..
-use my kenwood excelon single den in a single din stereo set up. going to make the holder so i can relocate the stereo higher or lower as needed...
-then get a tablet holder and solid mount the base to the new made dash kit.. this way i can plug in the tablet holder or swap it out with one that can hold my iphone.. all tablet functions will be the same..
- i also have an oil psi gauge that i might throw in there. along with an oil cooler.. i have an oil cooler kit for my VW so i just have to get an oil filter plate...
i should have enough plexy glass and supplies to make the new one without having to but new parts besides the holder...
with this 3 day weekend i am going to lower the truck some to keep me happy :smile:.. 2" rear.. 1.5"-1.75" front.
