Hey guys,
quick question, If i wanted to re locate my navi in to my center console, not only i have to extend the wired from it but would i have to dig in to vent system that leads to rear console? like this? I think i got this from Peter6 thread. (hope its o.k Peter)

 

This is inspiring. great job !!
Please could you explain how to configure the tablet to go into deep sleep when the incoming power turns off ? I cannot seem to find this option in Power Event Manager

 

Select FI mode and firm sleep. It works only when otg cable is connected.

 

Ah right.... I don;t have my OTG cable yet :-(

Thanks for the speedy response

 

Does PEM also stop the tablet from turning the screen off when there is no input for a while ? I know that I need to disable lock screen, but under display settings, I cannot disable screen off

 

That's a stock android feature - Unlock Developer Options, in developer options menu you'll have option for "stay awake".

I have my screen-timeout set to max which is 30 min I believe so after 30 mins of no user input, the screen will remain on but be dim.

 

Great. Thanks !!

 

Thanks Sockr1 for this step by step guide on how to install Nexus 7 tablets in our Acura TL's. I've been dreading the black screen of death on my navigation in my 2004 Acura TL for a couple years now and finally took on this project in July. I bought everything on the list from Amazon and received within a few days at my door (thanks Amazon Prime 2-day shipping). After loading the kernel onto the Nexus 7, install took only a couple hours. Everything works great except the reverse camera.

Looks like several others are having the same issue with the latest Easycap Viewer software. I tested the back up camera and relay with a regular TV monitor and so I know this works correctly. Also tried to get the older Easycap viewer software however it doesn't look like this is available since everything defaults to the latest software version for download.

Appreciate if anyone finds the solution for the reverse camera with the newest Easycap software to post in this thread.

 

I have the latest Easycap viewer on my setup and no problems at all, so I don't think that's the problem.

I don't think it is mentioned in the DIY but Easycap itself needs to be setup properly.

What seems to be the problem for you? When you go in reverse Easycap doesn't automatically open?
Or is it that Easycap opens but there's no image/scrambled image?

If the latter, change the setting from PAL to NTSC. I think you tap while easycap is open to show the menu and then click settings on the top right.
For me it was set default as PAL. After I changed that setting I was getting an image.

 

Hi my only question is how Does car play tablet audio if mine doesn’t come with aux for do I need an isimple kit?

Yes, you will need iSimple or something similar.

 

Okay I basically want a basic tablet setup no back up camera just audio! Will I On the future be able to set up aftmarket amplifier and subwoofers? With just having tablet installed or do I need to install a aftermarket face off radio also?

 

i run a full aftermarket speaker and sub system with the tablet. no need for a faceplate/double din.

here's my setup:

Trying to do this now, but noticed the EasyCap linked to in the tutorial is sold out. Is it fine to just buy any EasyCap off eBay that looks similar?

 

Welcome to the 3G world brother!

I'd find an easycap with the exact same description as the one linked.

 

Haha thanks man, small world! Picked up a 08 TL-S in CBP this weekend, looking forward to making some changes. And alright awesome, I'll pick one and hope for the best. Will post back here if whatever one I buy works or not to save people the trouble.

 

i've heard from a few people that the link doesn't work. someone sent me this link and said it worked for them for the easycap, give this a try!


item named "Easyday EasyCap DC60 - USB 2.0 Video Capture Adapter with ChipSet UTV 007 and Video Editing Software" by Easyday

 

Oh okay great, just ordered it. Thanks!

 

Anybody near Chicago that would be willing to do the install for me? I've had the parts for over a year but have been unable to find anyone to do it for me.

 

Where exactly is the relay after installation? under the center console or in the trunk?
Thanks!!

 

i believe i put mine in the center console. you're tapping into the usb cable right after the usb hub, which is in the center console so that seems easiest

 

i shoved everything under the cup holder - DAC, all usb cables, relay, easycap
one usb extension wire is run into the center console storage which is used with my USB for music

 

It really comes down to personal preference and convenience. I put my relay in the trunk with the easy cap and the backup camera. I had a really long Usb3.0 extension cable, so I cut up and installed the relay on the short USB that the easy cap came with and the ran the long extension to the center console with the USB hub.

I feel I get better video signal and quality this way vs running the Yellow RCA cable (which came with my backup camera). But this could just be my imagination lol.

 

 

This is where you download it: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939830775

You can follow these instructions to set it up, or follow the DIY: https://www.reddit.com/r/timurskerne...r_android_601/

 

Thanks for the link!

Has anyone successfully figured out how to integrate the steering wheel controls? I saw that someone used an isimple. I know of the Joycon too but I don't know if its compatible.

Thanks!!

 

Just wanted to say thanks for this tutorial, helped a ton! Getting that tablet to fit right was definitely the most tedious part, but the final product is well worth it.

 

^^ good job! and you're welcome! let me know if you want me to tweak the home screen for you so it's more "complete" with icons and titles.

 

great job with the install and especially the instructions..... this may be my next mod..... THANKS!

 

Do you have to remove your back seat to run the video wire (for the backup camera) to the easycap int he center console??

Thanks

 

I cant get the Timur zip files to copy over to the nexus 7 in TWRP mode. anyone have this issue?

 

nm, i got it to work

 

So long shot here guys, but today my nexus isn't turning on. Checked all wires, it's still getting power, but seems to just be stuck asleep. Anyway of getting it back on without ripping all this stuff out again?

 

Do you have access to the power button? If so just hold it until something happens.

Try double tapping on the screen, cycling power couple times, etc. Otherwise get to the power button.

 

I did. You don't have to unbolt everything all the way though, just unfasten one side of the back cusion to make enough room to pass the wire along. You will need to pull the bench though.
The bench is held by one bolt along the back wall, and two clips where the cusion meets the carpet.

 

TL; DR version:
My solution was to install a relay on the USB cable between the Nexus 7 and the hub, specifically the red 5 volt power wire. The relay is powered whenever the vehicle power is switched on, and immediately cuts the connection when the key is switched off. The relay is tucked under the center vents, right above the tablet, so it's easy to reach if I ever need to replace it with a new one.

The backstory:
I've often started my car to find the Nexus battery power level diminished substantially compared to what Timur promised. No matter what apps I terminated or disabled, it kept happening from time to time.

I've determined that even during sleep mode, my Nexus 7 still sends some power through its USB port.

The power drain was barely noticable when I had only my FiiO audio converter plugged into my USB hub, but when I combined that with my Easycap and my GPS reciever the situation became exacerbated to the point where the Nexus battery was totally drained on several occasions.

I confirmed this by unplugging my USB hub and letting the tablet sleep overnight.

The following day, the power was still 100%.
