So tablet is here. To clean up the look I made a steel plate that'll expose just the screen but hide the Samsung script and such. I will fiberglass this plate into the radio bezel an it'll also allow me a perfectly flush surface for the tab to mount against. On the rear I will make a fiberglass mold of the back of the tablet that'll Bolt to the protruding edges of the steel plate allowing me to fully secure the tablet in. Pics with the tape are just test fitting an then the last one the tablet is just being held in there by pressure no mount yet. The steel plate will be molded an fiberglassed in so that there won't be that flat edge there

 

So it was Into the vacuum sealer with the tablet so I could make a fiberglass mold of the back of the tablet. Popped the mold off, welded 4 studs onto the original steel frame I put into the bezel, then I have steel braces in an "x" on the back of the mold that I fiberglassed into the mold. ( have pics of that later) then I just bolt the whole tablet in an it's perfectly secure, just to finish off the bezel and then airbrush it again. And then onto the wiring

 

 

AWESOME!!!! Definitely looking forward to the progress, so much for the freshly wood grained bezel tho haha

 

I like the tablet in the air sealed bag lol! But that looks really good.

 

Hahah, trick I learned a while ago. Vacuum seal whatever and you can make easy molds with it then, slice the other side of the bag and easily release the item from the mold

 

That is a very good idea

 

subbed - thinking of doing a tablet install when I get my truck. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out!

 

That looks pretty damn good!

You are using the wrong device, you should be using a HumancentiPad.

 

Quick video of how my sdr radio setup works, just playing through the tablets speakers...
Also on a side note, pretty cool I can use this as a police scanner.
