[Q] Galaxy tab OEM car dock detailed pics request ECS-V980BEG / ECS-V980BEGSTA

Hi everyone...
So, I have a request. Can someone take some good pics of the OEM car dock swivel components? I was thinking about buying to modify it and integrate it to my jeep on the dash, but I want to make sure it has all the components i would need and that they would work.

(i really dont want to suction cup / windshield mount. - it does not look right and blocks view on a wrangler... So im going to make a custom bracket to host infront of the vents. see attachment)

Im very curious about the mounting and swivel plate. is it independent from the arm assembly? Looking here: http://www.mp3car.com/worklogs/147525-2009-altima-dash-mount-android-tablet-pc-6.html This image in particular:

...would lead me to believe it does indeed operate independent.

If anyone has it, would you kindly post some pictures of the tightening wheel and plate components disassembled?

Did you get any joy on this?

Does the car dock have it's own 3.5 audio out port (there's conflicting information around on this).

So hacking a standard desk dock may be a better play and doing a custom mount of some description.....

I want to feed the audio up to my ICE system.

On a related note does anyone know if there's 'selective' audio routing.....

i.e. Music and Nav audio to stereo via 3.5 jack and phones to bluetooth headset.

Yes hacking up the current mount would be cheaper than buying ram mount components. and smaller profile. I switched to a galaxy tab 8.9 so im not longer looking into this one...

As for your audio question, Im not sure what an ICE system is... but, the galaxy tab 7 does support a2dp. So you can have satelite nav software, and music outputting to something like this:

Picture is almost actual size.

It connects to your radio's line in. Powered by 5v usb. Sounds very clear in my experience. I cant tell the difference between CD and this. Less wires hanging from your tab.

I have not read if it supports multiple paired devices.
Hopefully that answers your question.

Sorry ICE is 'In Car Entertainment', currently I have a DAB headunit with built in amp that has a Line in, what I was thinking of doing was feeding the 3.5 output on the Desktop Dock (after I've taken it apart) up to the line in on the headunit (I can never remember if 3.5 output works as an input to Line In?).

I'm looking at using a RAM-HOL-TAB2 and custom mounting a disassembled Desktop Dock to it. The nice thing about this is they have a quick release so I can move it to other places if I need to.

I was thinking more of software routing on the TAB, i.e. All audio would go out to the Headunit except when the phone rings the audio would mute and the phone call would route to the Bluetooth headset.

RAM-HOL-TAB2 looks rather interesteing.

What's DAB?
As for call routing to phone while everything else plays it is possible.

I have a cobra CB unit in my jeep that does bluetooth. All my music gets routed to the black berry bluetooth receiver, and any calls get routed to the CB unit. It should be no different for a bluetooth head set / mic i wouldn't think. All I had to do was pair the the devices and it set it self up.

If a call comes in, the music stops, and I answer the call through the cobra CB - call plays through CB (not stereo system) and I talk through CB mic.
