Hi I was wondering if anyone tried to use the Kindle Fire as a main head unit in the car.
I saw many uses the Nexus 7 but I was wondering if I will be able to perform the project with the new $50 Kindle Fire.

I need to know the followings if they are possible in Kindle Fire 7":

1. OTG Y cable - 1 side for charging 1 side to be connected to USB HUB, to be able to run from the USB HUB memory card, DVB dongle, USB sound card, BT A2DP (from receiving phone calls from the cellphone)
2. to be able to power on/deep sleep once it receive power from the charger (to be able to go to deep sleep when car is turns off and to boot automatically with car ignition)
3. Audio out from USB port

in addition I would like to know how bright is the screen.

thanks,
Moshe.
