May seem excessive for off roading, but this is my shock proof android mount.

1. Began with cutting back center vents and sealing completely.
2. Wired for five channel amp under right rear seat.
3. Wired two *****, which you can see on the left, for master volume and bass control.
4. Charger is wired to ignition. The home button is not accessible with the cover so I wired the momentary button under the ***** to temporarily disconnect power. That allows me to turn the screen on and off as I drive. A relocated home button if you will.
5. Made a mock tablet out of wood exactly to dimensions. Along with outline of screen.
6. Cut the rounded screen shape into quarter inch abs.
7. Heat wrapped the abs around the wood mock peace on the bottom and sides. The top is left open to allow the tablet to slide out.
8. Trimmed the dash bezel to allow the screen to be visible.
9. Super glued the mount in place. (Picture 1)
10. Hot glued large gaps.
11. With abs dash mods bond will absolutely crack so I used a 2 part plastic epoxy to mold my shape.
12. Sanded sanded sanded
13. Primer with sand able primer to fill pin holes (picture 2)
14. Painted.
15. Made a custom jeep wallpaper to match dash colors.

Thanks for looking! Next project - molding air tank to left rear quarter panel

 

why?
me personally id rather have the a/c vents.
definitely unique.

 

Thats awesome what tablet did you use

 

I like my radio with ac vents but this is really unique and clean! Looks good!

 

Very cool! Does your tablet have an FM tuner in it?

Also curious what you did with the vents. Perhaps mod the blower selector **** so that you can make heat come out of everywhere without engaging the compressor?

 

Why ?
Mobile internet

Its an HP touch pad cracked to run android

No tuner. I run Pandora, last FM, YouTube, etc. But when there is no service I run my music off the hard drive.

Looking into doing some engine management via Bluetooth

 

The vents were actually pretty simple. The side vents blow super hard now. Junction for them is at center so I just diverted it

 

Umm.. Is there a tablet permanently stuck in your dash?

Not that it's not a clean install, you did a good job. But I don't get it..

 

No, its removable. Slides out from the top. I only take it out for updates and what not.

 

Wow! Incredibly clean and well done! Looks like a touch screen radio head but does so much more! Great job! Can't wait to see what else you come up with.

 

Thanks a lot man. Check out my other builds on custom door panels and fiberglass sub box

All that stuff looks good man. Great job!

 

Some of you guys seem alittle overwhelmed by the tablet in the dash. The LSX guys and tuner guys have been doing this with ipads and tablets for years now. It's actually really slick and opens up a bunch of possibilities. Jeeps may not be the ideal vehicle for the mod but I think this dude did a really good job with this. It won't be the last you see.
