This looks fantastic. Well done man. I've been pondering this project and I think I've been over thinking the mount. You have really enlightened me. I would appreciate you confirming two things please. 1) you're using a Wi-Fi tablet, not a cellular tablet? 2) Google Maps will do turn by turn navigation just like on a phone? Assuming so, what's your impression of using Google Maps on the tablet? Is it the same as, not as good, or better than using Google Maps on your phone? Thanks.
@miketips4188 Жыл бұрын
Hey thank you! I am using a wifi tablet connected to be internet via the hotspot on my phone. The tablet does turn by turn directions just like a phone. The experience is, at least percevebly slightly less responsive than the phone itself. However it is still very good. I assume this latency is present because of the phones cellular connection being transmitted over wifi to the tablet.

The tablet looks great! How much for you the make the brackets? I have a Yukon so the dash is exactly the same. Can you still open the radio compartment? Can the front passenger see the brackets because from the pov of the video it looks seamless? Hope you reply soon. Thanks.
@miketips4188 10 ай бұрын
So the brackets are slightly visible from the side but it doesn't look bad, if you went for the ultra size tablet it would be completely hidden. The bracket and magnets were pieced together from Amazon and a local hardware store only cost about 25 bucks total. The tablet comes off no problem to expose the factory screen and all factory buttons are accessible underneath the tablet

Came across this video looking for 3d printed mounting ideas. I've been running an S8 Ultra on my dash for about a year now (started with an s5e then s7), I used 2 magnetic phone mounts. Allows me to adjust the angle as I want, but I'm thinking about creating a more seamless look as well as maybe a 3d printed hood/visor to help with glare. I had a matte screen protector on it before but hated the look and feel.

Hey, great video man! I'm considering doing this with my tab s7 plus in my 2014 Scion XD. My only concern is receiving and making phone calls. If tablet is connected to vehicle through BT for audio and connected to phone's hotspot is that still possible to receive the calls?

Yes! You can receive text messages and phone calls through the tablet. I believe you just need to be signed into your samsung account on both devices

ive been thinking for months using the s8+ the same way youre using it. i got an old mb with a tiny 6 in screen and a real pain to change out head unit as the system is fiber optics. i also want to use a bt receiver into the aux port so i can get the audio to come through the car sound system. i see they have a cd slot bracket but it seems very flimsy. perhaps i can think of some kind of magnetic type mount but i dont want to deface the console.

Hey so I would recommend pro clip, if you go on their website and put in your make and model you can see what type of brackets they have. Most of the time they attach behind trim pieces and won't damage the console. My first video was about the CD mount it worked surprisingly well at the time but eventually I wanted something more secure
