Wow, that's unreal and really irresponsible. The only reason I didn't go with EV Play is that I did not want to touch anything with the wiring of the car. Although I am very handy when it comes to electronics/electrical systems, I do not want to touch/bypass/harness anything from the existing wiring of the car...

I have to say, thank you for trying and sharing with us however, this looks unsafe and aesthetically stressful.

I have looked at doing this to provide a dedicated tablet for Waze, which is what I always end up running on my phone. Two questions... How did you mount the tablet above the main tablet. And, how does the tablet get the GPS positioning info? Is the GPS built into the tablet?

2 thin metal L-shaped brackets sliding between the top of the left car screen and the dash (left side). One standing L-shaped bracket sitting on top of the dash (all the way to the right). Yes, the unit has gps built in, although it is a small external antenna that connects to the main unit.

Added this dual Android unit. This is a fully operational android dual tablet. You can use it as Android Auto or Car Play, but if you connect it to your phone for internet access (Bluetooth or hotspot - you can also connect to the car's hotspot) you have full Android functionality. Still have clear visibility from my seat can see the end of the hood fine. It is using Android 13 - works and sounds great...

This has Great potential (if I can get Windows 11 to work on it...). It would save me from turning my head to the right, a lot! :cool:
