***THIS IS NOT A HOW TO INSTALL***

I have a 2008 Honda CRV EX-L and I wanted a touch screen display but didn't want to spend the money on a new head unit. So I decided to use an old single DIN Pioneer head unit with a double DIN dash kit and my Tab 4 7.0 (T237P) as my touch screen.

Materials used:
1) Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 (T237P)
2) Pioneer DEH-3200U
3) Honda Radio Harness Metra 70-1722
4) Scosche HAAB Honda Antenna Adapter Plug
5) Metra Axxess ASWC-1 Steering Wheel Control Interface
6) Car Charger DC Converter Module 12V To 5V 3A 15W with USB Cable to charge the tablet and power the Metra Axxess ASWC-1
7) USB Aux Bluetooth Adapter for audio to Pioneer DEH-3200U
8) USB Female Y Splitter to power the tablet and USB bluetooth adapter
9) Wire Taps so I can keep the factory harness in case I decide to install the factory radio again
10) thin heavy stock cardboard from binder and black t-shirt to cover the Pioneer DEH-3200U and to have something for the tablet to rest on

That's sweet...nice job...how does it work overall? Are you satisfied?

 

[Honda4Life]

Nice work. How are yoy enjoying it?

 

[maxedout]

Yes everything is working as it should, steering control working, I have a WiFi hotspot in the bottom pocket, and best part I can remove it when I'm not using it. Currently I'm making another back panel with the radio cut-out so when I don't use the tablet at least I can see the time

Does your CRV run better now? Better mileage? Anything at all to make it a better ride?

 

[maxedout]

, no but am planning to add a bluetooth back up camera and also a bluetooth ODBII

Update: v2.0 includes phone (Note 3) mount as well as the tablet mount, this way I can either use the tablet or my phone.

Congratulations !! Now you can play chess live with a teenager in the Ukraine while he's busy hacking into your stock account !!! Keep it between the lines. Craig

Does not seem fair to me. You can do EVERYTHING in you vehicle, but have to stop to go to the toilet. The most basic of human needs, and there's facility for it. But then what do I know. Maybe there is an app for it. With Bluetooth of course.

Thanks for the idea, I could install it as the drivers seat and figure out how to run the drain line

Now that we've established you do have a sense of humor, know nothing about those posts was meant to be malicious. The part about between the lines is all business; however, as the rate of accidents and deaths caused by distracted driving is about to surpass those attributed to drunk driving !! Things just aren't that important to risk lives over. You did a nice job; however. Craig

Thanks, I know but I only use either the tablet or phone as my GPS, I don't talk or text while I'm driving, I don't like cables everywhere on the dash or near the windshield

For the record, GOOGLE MAPS is far, far, far superior to most other GPS out there, so this is a proper upgrade.

And the map being bigger = easier to read = less likely to be distracted while driving. Not sure why people think Tablet Sized screens are distractions -- other countries have 10" GPSes. The pathetic 4, 5, or 6" screens in the US, are only because we're not allowed to block the windshield. By putting a tablet as a screen in the dash, it means a proper sized viewing screen is possible, meaning less squinting, meaning less distraction.

Good job.
