Hi All
I am looking into buying and professionally fitting a Nexus 7 into my car, to replace the crap navi system.
I'll be using it mainly for GPS, Music, Emails etc, with the odd video/youtube etc thrown in.
I'm just wondering what options I have to optimise the tablet for car use, its going to be permanently installed into the car so realistically it never needs to do anything but the car functions.
So I have a few questions:
- Are there any car type launchers around? Or an app that can act as a launcher for all the functions I'm after?
- Is there a way to have the tablet turn on and off with it receiving power (it will be permanently plugged into power, but power will only be delivered when car key is turned).
- If the question above is possible, can I have it automatically turn on to the app/launcher I'm using?
- If none of these are possible? Do you think it would be possible with a custom rom or something?
- If able to be programmed, is there anyone who knows some developers that would want a small quick job like this?
Plus feel free to add any tips or suggestions etc you think would be great for this project?
Thanks
