7" Tablet install for virtual gauges via TQ pro or Hondata

So i recently did a pretty clean install for a tablet in my RDX. Ive seen a lot of people install aftermarket gauges and pods and such but for this platform there is a much easier and better solution to be had imo for those that want to keep it clean or avoid baiting theft (if you remove it daily). I removed my pod i was using previously and simply installed my kindle fire hdx7 7" tablet with a CD player mount and for me it works perfectly for location and viability. You can use this with a bluetooth adapter and torque pro or with the hondata mobile app and flashpro either will render the same result. You can now monitor everything the canbus system has to offer like boost, AFR, knock, coolant temp, ignition advance etc etc anything you would need or want to know. You can also setup visual and audio warnings if a value goes too high or low a great example being knock count or knock retard if you set the values appropriately you have a really good pop up and alarm sound when your heavy into detonation and know to let off the throttle immediately or if you got a bad batch of gas and need to drive like a granny until next fill up lol. Just a great clean solution i wanted to share.

Mount:

Tablet: Kindle fire HDX7 though you can use any android based or apple tablet as long as it fits in the mount but the one shown is 7"

Nice install, but you could also use your phone in a phone mount and pull up your Hondata on the application through a Bluetooth connection as well.

Thanks guys. Something to note is this mount can double as a phone holder for those interested in just using a phone as CSmoney suggested, it even has a pass through for charger on the bottom clamp piece.

Nice thanks, my phone screen is only 6.5” not 7” so your right.

Does it stay stable so you’re able to read it while driving without it falling out?
