Yes Voltage, not current. I built a custom PCB that lets my tab plug into my car's audio system. It has a 5V switcher on it but I'm going to add a zener diode as a backup in case the switcher fails so the tab doesn't get hit with 12V from the car. Ifixit's teardown shows that the tab uses a...

I should add that the voltage is indeed 5v so its not a droop issue and while connected to my circuit, the tab is in usb debugging mode. Any thoughts? Is there a hardware specific forum I should be posting this in?

The stock charger says 2000mA on it. I built a circuit using a 5V 3A switching regulator to plug into my car. But when I plug it in, the tab displays the x over the battery icon indicating insufficient current. It does seem to be trickle charging but what am I missing to get the tab to enter...

Right now I'm working on making sure all of the commands work. Progress is slow since Java really isn't the best language for manipulating individual bytes (although that could also be my lack of experience). Unfortunately if you have a 335i, none of this will help you. I think all of the...

I'll bring this thread back to say that I have. Its an ongoing project but heres what I have so far: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBdQnFnXtgQ

Do you have the wifi only version? Overcome's website states their ROM will NOT work on the tab if it doesn't have a sim card. If you did indeed install it on the P1010 version, please post more details. Thanks

Well seems like someone has come up with something. If you have a BMW/Audi/Merc you can get a Dynavin replacement head unit that runs android http://www.dynavin.com/index.php I'm not sure how customizeable it is but its out there.

I'll chime in. I just rooted using super one click v1.9. It was done in about 90 seconds and I wasn't sure it worked but sure enough, there was a new super user app on it and I got an adb shell up with access to the apk's. Success. I then ran the one click lag fix v2.2 which increased my...

My plan is to take it up a notch. I want to tap in to my car's instrument bus and be able to reset the trip counter/mileage/etc and control the tab with the steering wheel buttons. It'll be a couple months before that happens... Anyway, I ordered a bunch of stuff from digikey to extend the...

Thanks for the thanks...I think? Anyway I'm working on this project for my BMW. BMW's from the mid 90's to the mid 00's have a serial bus that controls all entertainment functions (volume control, mode, HVAC). It's been throughly hacked with most of the codes available around the internet. I'm...

I think I'm good now. Here are the pics If anyone needs this, disassembly is very easy. Just peel off the rubber bottom and expose the 4 small phillips screws. Use a knife or very thin flat blade to separate the bottom plate from the cover. There are 2 tabs on each side holding it together...

Trying to get the minimum posts to post pictures of my dock teardown.

PS3...came with my tv. Done and done.

Hi. Working on some projects. Hopefully they'll work for me.

How come we haven't seen a wave of aftermarket double DIN android based radio replacements yet? Android seems like the obvious platform for a new head unit. Foxconn should be able to hack the Moto Xoom's guts in to something within a week. Its even called the Xoom! Come on Mazda. All it needs is...
