Michael's "Nox" Build

[inm]

I am, that's why i liked your post.

You just don't count, that's all.


Still waiting on my Nexus to get here, then I can begin.

Aww, no one is interested in my in-dash iPad project?

Yes.

 

[inm]

lol iPad.

Alright, as I gather my thoughts for how I do this install, here is where I'm currently at.

I will be eliminating the need for a headunit altogether, and fiberglassing my Nexus 7 into the dash. A Clarion EQS746 will be mounted behind the dash, with an RCA level controller mounted in my dash for volume. The main input on the EQ will be a bluetooth module, connecting to the N7. I don't have room for the EQ to be in the dash, which is why it will be behind it.

I will be creating my own POGO pin charger, to keep the tablet charged. I will also be integrating NFC tags into the dash, that will tell the tablet to automatically turn on BT, Wifi, and music.

In addition to installing the N7 in my dash, I will be creating a pod for my phone to sit in. Again, it will have POGO charging, and an NFC chip to automatically turn on Wifi Tethering.

This should be fun. I will be starting this within the next week or two, hopefully.

Interested to see how this all turns out. Take lots of pics!

 

[inm]

No pics, and no progress on the actual build.

However, I did just confirm that I will be able to create my own POGO pin charger. I've ordered the probes I need for it, now I just need to figure out how I'm going to hard wire it all into the car.

You should see my "test bed" here...

I have a sliced USB cable, some cardboard, a paperclip, and a small piece of heat shrink.

Definitely not "up to code" at my house, lol. I was a little hesitant to plug up the wires, as I could have potentially destroyed my phone, but all is well.

 

[Eric Smit]

I would probably pee a little.

I tried to mess with electrics one time, got the **** shocked out of me, forever gave up. ;P

On par! Grunts and electronics really don't get along!

 

[inm]

This looks safe, right?

 

[Preloader]

That's what innovation looks like. Carry on.

 

[rdss]

I wouldn't leave plugged in unattended in this state but like preload said, it looks like innovation!

 

[Eric Smit]

That looks like a torture device. ;P

I can assume you know your way around a voltmeter right?

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

Looks like progress to me! Good job and keep at it! The easiest parts will be the NFC tags and the moldings. The devil is in the details of the wiring.

 

[rdss]

Eric doesn't even know what a volt meter is! I think he thinks they are tazers...lol

 

[Eric Smit]

they aren't?

teehee.


-Eric Smit

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

Isn't a volt meter what goes in the Volt taxi's

 

[inm]

Alright, I was just told that I will be working quite a bit of overtime in the coming weeks. That means I'll have now money for this project, but less time... Lol
