    yorky321 got a reaction from lak in Nexus 7 Subaru Liberty Car Install - Completed!   
    Hey Guys thought I'd share my Nexus 7 install with you.
     
    UPDATE: Static and White noise issues were minimized by using a 15 Amp In Line Noise Filter/Suppressor. I've Also added an OBD2 Bluetooth scanner in my car which connects to my tablet to display information such as Engine temps , speed , rpm , fuel consumption etc etc
     
    Background info: 
    I recently purchased my Subaru Liberty 2006 (MY07) 3.0R Spec B Manual after slaving away underground for about a year and was extremely excited and seriously happy with my decision. Thankfully it had already had a lot of work done to it in regards to the audio setup with the stock head-unit replaced with an after market Alpine CD-5030 along with the required $600 fascia , Amp in the boot powering the stock subwoofer and speakers in the door replaced.

     
    So basically after contemplating purchasing an extremely expensive Pioneer double din head unit or buying an "App Radio" I decided both these options were either way too expensive for what they were or didn't fit my needs and or desires. Hence the start of this project.
    I was going to do a piece by piece forum post with updates and pictures but I was too excited and end up getting it all done first whilst taking pictures along the way.
     
    Planning:
    Firstly i looked a lot of other nexus 7 installs and found out 2 things. Firstly I'd need a 2012 Nexus 7 Rooted with Timur's USB ROM and a Joycon EXR Steering wheel controller.
    I wanted to have the steering wheel controls actually work since the previous owner had done the audio upgrade but had left the controls not working. I considered also creating a reversing camera using a USB webcam I had lying around but the Field of view was horrible so i decided against it.

     
    Parts:
    Nexus 7 with Timur's USB-ROM http://mehrvarz.github.io/nexus-7-usbrom/
    Subaru 7" AV Panel Kit http://bit.ly/HENwJ7
    Subaru Info Panel Relocation Kit http://bit.ly/1ew24ZO
    JoyCon EXR Steering wheel controller http://bit.ly/17U0iOb
    USB OTG Y-Cable http://bit.ly/1cK9ngn
    4-port USB Hub (Random Belkin 4 port hub)
     
    Cost:
    Nexus 7 - $170 (I was lucky enough to find one on ebay "Used" that when arrived literally looked like it had never been touched)
    Subaru 7" AV Panel Kit - $250
    Subaru Info Panel Relocation Kit - $128 ( Extremely expensive for what it actually is but thats JDM for you)
    Joycon EXR - ~$56 inc Postage to Aus
    USB OTG Y Cable - $14.90
    Misc equipment like a new soldering iron , wire , solder etc etc was around $100
     
    Total = Approx $700 
     
    For all the parts to arrive from Japan , Korea , Australia and so on it took about 4-5 weeks in total and it was a LONNNGGG 5 weeks of waiting patiently for the gear to finally arrive and for me to make a start. But finally they arrived.




    (NOT MY IMAGE OF JOYCON JUST USED FOR EXAMPLE)
     
    The idea was relatively simple. Put tablet into new fascia , give it power ,plug accessories in and off I go. But nothing is ever that simple and the project ended up taking quite a bit longer than I expected. The thing that took the most time was RESEARCH. 
    Finding information as to which wires out of the million that were there were for Steering wheel controls was mission impossible. Thankfully with help from some guys on Club.Liberty and  SVXdc from Legacy GT forum I was able to pin point the two wires under the steering column that were the signal wires for the steering wheel controls.




     
    With the wires soldered and extended through to where the tablet was going to sit I was able to plug in the Joycon EXR and test/program the unit using a laptop. This process was relatively painless , the program just took some getting used to. Basically all that had to be done was to detect the 6 buttons and drag and drop what action I wanted them to do.

     
    I then had the idea that if my tablet was to lose all power (become flat) , I would not be able to turn it back on again as it would just sit in that "charging" state with the picture of the battery. Therefore I decided to have a go at extending the power button and externalizing it.
    The issue was that it was really really small and the soldered didnt seem to want to stick it it. I eventually managed to get a decent contact ( well what i thought was decent) and it work flawlessly. Until of course I moved it with even the slightest amount of force causing the solder to just come right off.
    After about the 5th attempt at this I had in fact managed to melt the minuscule traces on the ribbon cable and broke the whole thing haha. I then ordered a new one off Ebay for $5 but being that it was from America , it cost me $23 for postage  :? 
    Any how here is a picture of what it looked like when it worked.


     
    When the new ribbon cable arrived I decided to give up on that idea for now and possibly revisit it later on if I had either A. Learnt how to solder properly or B. Had another spare as a back up   :lol:
     
    Mounting it wasn't very hard, maybe a little fiddly but I used some hot glue for test fitting purposes and soon enough had a good enough position to start drilling some holes

     
    It was shortly there after that i realised the Micro USB port and 3.5mm Jack were in horrible positions (Ran directly into one of the vents). I had 2 options either A. Find some right angle connectors that fit B. Drill holes into the air vent and run the cables through them. 
    Thankfully I had a brain wave and decided to take apart the tablet again and have a look at the connectors themselves. It appeared that they too were just flexible ribbon cables underneath the stereo speaker bar. So I removed the screws holding down the speaker bar and Ribbon cable , lifted the connectors up in a right angle position and put the speaker bar back in place. 

     
    I then marked up some slots on the back panel (case) and cut them out forming small gaps for the connectors to poke out of.




     
    The connectors felt a bit loose and wobbly so I cut up some mesh from an old 5.25" drive bay cover and used it to screw the original screws into. I then hot glued and super glued them down to make sure they wont move.


     
    After that all I had to do was Re test the Joycon , Test the USB Hub , Memory sticks and made sure the USB ROM functionality was working correctly. For Internet connectivity I will be using my HTC ONE via Bluetooth tethering , Wifi Hotspot or most likely via a direct USB cable as I dont want to drain my phone battery as I drive.


     
    Moving the Information panel wasn't hard at all , I just followed the picture instructions that came with the kit (although the writing was in Japanese).


     
    Now all that was left to do was connect the RCA cables to the AUX Input in the head unit, plug everything in and hope for the best. 
    Here is some final pictures.

    Yes the police do have a right to breath test drivers, if you can't sustain breath in a roadside test they have to test you another way, or everyone would pretend they couldn't breathe properly. 
     
    P platers kill themselves on the roads, how do you think your parents would feel getting a knock on the door at 3am and find out you've killed yourself because you can't control a super car. A 6 cylinder, non turbo car is more than enough. You can have a turbo 4 cylinder for the fuel economy. At least you can in Victoria. 
     
    Are you kidding? 'Self defence' is not a good reason to own a gun, no one has a gun in this country except for target shooters and farmers. Buy a baseball bat and defend yourself if you are so scared. Or move to a different suburb. Are you as weak and fragile as an old lady? 
     
    Yep, good luck defending this country from the huge Indonesian army with a handgun. You have no reason for needing it other than you think it's cool to have a gun. 
     
    You can own replica guns, but they must be permanently disabled and approved by police, no biggie, family friend has one (AK), just make sure you get someone 18+ to go to the police for the license for you.
     
    Perhaps what you don't understand is there is no money for super dooper internet. Be happy that they are doing anything, it is the telcos job to lay down fibre not the government. So what? Doctors don't need super fast internet. They make so much money that they can pay for fibre themselves, I'll be damned if my tax dollars are used for doctors who make $200,000 (more than double my salary) to improve their business.

    You mean apart from not living in poverty and being shot at, beaten, killed and a plethora of other inhumane and heinous crimes? Yeah what a shit country to live in.
    I fully agree on the "tony Abbott" part (i assume that's who you mean) but there are reasons we have fire arm restrictions and to a lesser extent vehicle restrictions. If every Joe and their dog could use guns and drive ridiculous cars, imagine what that country would be like. People in Australia cant even hold themselves back from glass, king hitting random people in the street, now stick a gun in that neanderthals hands, what a great idea. 
     
    Also guns are readily available in Australia if you have a license for them, this includes paintball guns.
