this is neat. I want more vids!

I don't want my nexus in my ti, but i do want it in my '84 jetta. do you have issues with it dying? even with a power inverter and the original charger it just drains as it is charging if I use it for nav or speedometer.

nifty tip: use the ulysse spedometer app. it doesn't need data to be a gps speedometer, it records 0-60 times, even can tell altitude.

Well that's what's nice about my install, it's completely removable so if the battery dies I can take it inside and charge it.What I did was unlock the tablet and load timurs usb Rom which allows for a few things to be possible.
1. It allows for usb fast charging which somehow allows you to charge a more than the typical 4 volts through a car charger
2. Allows the tablet to act as a usb host which makes the playing music directly to my speakers possible as well as expanding storage exponentially via small flash drives.
3. Puts the tablet into deep sleep upon power loss which also preserves battery life on the tablet

It has died on me once, but it was because the car was sitting for about a week doing nothing. Other than that, the Rom is pretty fantastic at keeping the unit charged

And I have used ulysse speedometer, it's on the tablet, I also have a persistent Speedo widget that displays my speed on the home screen which I like

Yeah, there is tons of stuff out there on how to do it on forums like xda developers and reddit r/ carav so I would start there. Pm me and I will send you my email(my notifications for tapatalk are unreliable) for any questions on my setup. Software wise, the walkthroughs online are far more comprehensive than I could ever be and I just basically followed the instructions. As far as the skin I used, that's a wallpaper made for the purpose of car mounted tablets I found online and modified with Photoshop. I think the guy has a VW one as well but I would have to dig through my bookmarks when I get to my computer (on mobile now)

Got it rooted! Both were windows 8.1. My mistake was not checking the driver install for adb. Now I don't know how to apply the ROM. Says to apply the ROM you go through recovery but I see no option to apply update from SD? I didn't find a how to for the ROM.

This should help, especially since timurs Rom is based on cyanogenmod 10.1. And good on you for getting anything done on Windows 8, I had to switch to Mac because I hate the way 8 works
