+ USB audio out via special Y splitter.
I opted for gluing a N7 case into the DIN hole and then painting the whole thing, cut a hole in the side for power and audio out.Other people stick the tablet in the dash permanently but I wanted removable.
Would be interested to see your end result, sheppy!

It's a DC PC with a car ignition aware bios, so you can watch for the ignition going off and shut the machine down(so you don't flatten the battery).
Might help solve the unit if not the screen and input devices.
UK distributors and allround helpful bunch:

Dunno, mine runs linux.![]()
Takes about 5 seconds to beep to say it's powered on.
Takes another 5 seconds to go through BIOS,
Then however long the OS takes to boot- Mine is up in about a minute after full phase ignition.
Problem with a laptop is you need a rectifier of some sort to feed it the AC that the PSU uses.
