Nexus 7 in-dash install in Audi a4

this is very cool, i think it looks nice! :good: but i think i would rather keep my tab on me at all times rather than in a car just my preference unless i had two tabs then i might put one in my car
unless i had two tabs then i might put one in my carI too am looking to put a tab in my car to replace my current in-dash PC. I was looking initially at the Nexus 7, being a reasonably priced tablet, but discovered that in landscape mode with polarized sunglasses, the screen goes black.
After a trip to Best Buy in sunglasses, I found that the Kindle Fire 2 (not the HD) and the Acer Iconia A100 both are OK in landscape mode with polarized sunglasses. They don't have the A110 on display yet, so I'm waiting to try that one since it's more recent than the A100.

Came here seeking help with another A100 related question and saw this thread. Here's a photo of my install just for the hell of it.

Anyone know of a good car mount or cradle for the a100? I've seen the ones with a bendable long arm but they're kinda pricey.

If you want a separate power button it could be easily manufactured.

Look at the images 28 up to 31. This is the PCB where the power button is installed. Just solder two additional wires to an electronic switch placed wherever you want. If you want something more flexible you could solder the two wires(coming form the Acer's power button) to a FEMALE audio jack. Either build it inside the tablet or fix it on the side(outside of course - the two wires should have some kind of pass-through the plastic - small hole maybe). Than solder another MALE audio jack to the wires coming from the external button of your choice. Finally when you connect the male-->female audio jacks you are going to have an external button. If you are not experienced enough or have no such soldering iron I highly recommend giving it to a professional. Take the PCB only because the guy would not need the other part of the tablet and it will be cheaper because you won't be charged for disassemble - assemble process.
If you need some more help please ask

Nicely explained laptop(tablet...laptop...fridge...or even space shuttle it is all the same: momentary switch) thread : http://www.mp3car.com/how-to-power-a-laptop/108758-simple-and-clean-remote-laptop-power-switch.html
If you are thinking now...what button I could choose and where to find it....I would suggest to just buy an OEM button of some option that is missing in your car. Most of the buttons are momentary buttons which send signal to a controlling module. A typical example : http://acimg.auctivacommerce.com/imgdata/0/2/7/2/4/2/webimg/4264076.jpg

I have heard from a few people that you can set up a tasker profile to wake the device when the charger is activated and have it sleep when its off.

What about the keep screen awake while charging option in developer settings?

That might works well, I have not tried to test that yet.
