tablet in place of 8 inch nav screen
Has anyone just put a tablet on top of the 8 inch nav screen? It seems like it would be really easy to sit a ~7 inch tablet there. And from what I've seen it looks like there isn't that much functionality to lose...you can still control everything as normal with the touch screen below. Why not put a tablet there and use it for Google Maps, etc., etc.
Of course you can always put a tablet somewhere else, but that built-in enclosure seems perfect...

You can get a dash-mounted magnet mount (like this: ). If you put that on that flat space in front of the 8 inch, it will obscure the 8 inch a little, but perhaps not that much. If the mount were placed right at the edge of that flat space, it would probably obscure very little of the screen.
Then you put a magnet on the back of the tablet, and it is very easy to mount and remove the tablet when you need to (like when you want to use the backup camera). It's literally as easy as just grabbing and moving the tablet.

It's a Nexus 7. It's not my picture, but the picture poster just puts it right in front using snug pressure to hold it.
That mount + magnet could work I guess. I usually never like to put magnets on my electronics though. You're just asking for corrupted data.

Putting a magnet on your phone or tablet will in no way harm it, there have been many tests done from consumer reports, wired magazine to stupid youtube videos.
