re: InDash android tablet as car headunit

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

After watching videos of people using that dongle I just cant see that being a realistic solution. The lack of FM radio capability is probably going to keep me from doing this. Pretty bummed out haha. Spent all weekend running around trying to plan it out.
