Im going to have to buy a new head unit to do this because my current is so old it has no aux/bluetooth/usb capabilities. In order to wire up an aux port id end up spending roughly the same amount as a new reciever so ill probably just go that route.
Do you use one of those fm dongles? How do you interface with it? Im not sure how im going to handle regular radio if i dont have access to the headunit.
Also, what apps do you use to auto sleep and wake your tablet?

Like I said, I reused the factory headunit, just hid it behind the dashboard essentially. I have an App for the tablet that talks to the cars computer to control volume, etc. Can even send the tablet a text to remote start the truck.
As far as wake/sleep, there is an app called tasker that will do certain actions for set events. I set it up to unlock when power is connected to the charger, and to go to sleep when power is disconnected.
Haven't tried those FM dongles, but I would assume they would work out fine. If thats the case, I would just come off the headphone jack of the tablet straight to an amplifier to the speakers. Eliminate a headunit all together
