Thank you......
Thank you......
The good news is, after building a little circuit board for the capacitors and diodes today, it's in and working.
I've still got to put the starter wire from the ignition in (i thought i had got away with it but alas not. If i start it straight away then it's fine, but if i leave the ignition for a few seconds then it crashes, the starter wire mod will solve this)
Anyway, a quick vid, and Thanks once again to everyone :lol:

Never saw what you wrote mate, i've still got some software settings to sort too, but nothing to sad I don't think, and i need to but a obd2 bluetooth transmitter for the torque app, but the (very!) hard bit is done! :-)

IanS200 Thats looks great fella, excellent job, how much are the android tabs if you dont mind me asking.
including blowing up the first two? Lol
The one that is fitted is an older tablet, I went for it because it was £50 and had the built in gps (not the greatest but it works). It also has a resistive screen which ideally i didn't want, but then it is just going to (at the mo) run the 2 apps, sat nav and torque.
Now i'm off to find a obd transmitter which will hopefully turn off with the ignition, or it could mean a rewire of the obd socket.
Mr Lindholm, i forgot him! Thank you too mate. :-)

Looks pretty sweet there! Me likey... I take it you plan to disable the lockscreen in Android so that the tablet starts directly onto the homescreen? I believe there are a few apps that can manage this...

Ok, the parts list (or what i can remember of it!) Also, any links here could be dead in the future:
The screen motor and housing.
We all know how much these are but i got a bit of a deal from a breaker who i convinced it was no good for anything. £100
The tablet itself
I used a Witstech A81E (as said, it was 7 inch and had the built in gps) £50
Double sided sticky foam (for round the screen) 99p
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140635955334?s..._500wt_969
12v to 5v Converter £9.99
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250951025285?s...4350wt_952
Timer relay (to trick the tablet to think the power button is being held on) £14.99
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120867948260?s..._827wt_952
3 membrane buttons and connectors needed to deal with the menu, settings and home buttons - £14
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200688327099?s...061wt_1185
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170792865130?s...061wt_1185
I also used 2 2200uf capacitors and 2 1N5820 diodes and a bit of bread board for mounting the, along with a 4 pin relay, a single external speaker about £20
That's the major bits that i can think of, you'll also need a low temp soldering iron, solder, a dremel, and i used an angle grinder for the metal casing because the screen was too big to rotate without removing some of it, masses of various wire and patience! I have no understanding of the theory of electronics and still managed it using this guide i found (translate in google chrome)

I hope that helps people, I'm always up for helping other if i can and if anyone finds a good app for the car, let me know! ;-)

30-01-2019, 12:30 PM #9I have a had a quick look Dave, the ones i found didn't work though, i think they were for the pattern lock? I'll have another look, although to be honest, i've got startup manager booting it straight to the nav software at the mo so it's not a massive issue.
