Sick! I've been shopping around for the right module but most of them seem to come with some Janky looking apps. This one looks clean though. I'm gonna dive into this one a bit more. Hoping it has widget capabilities.
Thanks Jam

Yeah I can see it best to go for the 16 relay pack. I'm sure they can get filled up fast.

Ive done the mod with a nexus 7 and kept the vents. Mine is 10.1

Power
2.1 amp charger connected to ignition

Audio
Sony gs810bh directly behind tablet. I run the Sony app remote on tablet to control sound/bass/time alignment.
Sony is hooked to jl xd7005v2 amp with a master volume **** to the right of steering wheel.

Any update on your ride controller?

I have one of the wifi dongles on the way from Amazon. Going to start off small to get the hang of everything. Will probably end up doing the tablet mod one day.
