In-Car Nexus 7 Android Tablet Install - 2005 Subaru Legacy GT

Just showcasing my in-dash install of my Nexus 7 tablet. This can do music, videos, games, phone calls, emails, anything you can do on your smartphone. To learn how to make one of these see my video series located here:

This video gave me the inspiration to do the same thing, the only things that I did differently where that I used a stock nav bezel and a radio from a 2008 legacy paired with a Grom Audio USB 3. Its not as simple to control as yours, I still need to do work on it but otherwise its working amazingly. Thanks for the inspiration :)

I have a bunch of questions, but I'll only ask the most important thing: wouldn't the tablet freeze and crack in the winter?

I have to watch the other videos too, but right now I have a spesific question regarding the tablet. Is the device locked as long as the ignition is off? Just wondering since you got your mailbox there.

My only concern is that since I live in Australia, temperatures here can make the inside of a car boiling. My concern is the lithium battery running out (or exploding). And if you were to bypass the battery and have the tablet directly plugged in, it has to boot up every time.

Is there a way you might have gotten around these issues?

How did you get the volume knob to work with this?

Great job and sweet ride! I'm also an owner of a 06 Legacy Wagon! :)
I might end up doing a similar install. However, I will have to figure out a way to get audio since my radio doesn't have the aux input. I'm still debating on installing a single din aftermarket radio or soldering an aux cable directly on the stock radio PCB by modifying it.

This isn't an install video. It's an installed video. 😁🤷
