Tablet Head Unit

[ryaleon]

In trying to decide on a new head unit for the deuce I have come to discover that these things are pricy as hell. However....pretty much the cheapest and simplest tablets are more feature rich than the top tier Double din head units.

So I want to Install a tablet as my main head unit. Has anyone done this? Only major issues I can think of are volume controls and maybe retaining door chimes and rse.

I am subbing in on this too since other then the loss of the radio, I think this is a great idea. And have seen it once before on a TV show, cant remember the car or the show but still....

Before you go modding to get a tablet in the dash, check this out: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PU...+3+(SPH-DA210)

It uses the apps in your phone, and puts them on the big screen. Less modding involved as it is a standard double-DIN unit.

Actually most android tablets come with an FM tuner so the radio is no problem.

Guruerror that link is dead but I'm really curious what it is

Crutchfield claims this will not fit the deuce. But the head unit I installed in my 04 also was not supposed to fit but it did just fine.

I'm sure it will fit...
...I'm currently running a custom built head-unit, but I'm thinking about converting over to the AppRadio. If the sucker would work with Netflix and Hulu I think I'd be completely sold. I need to troll the Pioneer forums to get more info...but it's pretty low on my priority list right now.
