hi guys,
im trying to figure out how im going to charge it.

im getting this tomorrow...
http://www.cellularoutfitter.com/p-...gn=Ship&utm_content=shipping&utm_promocode=NA

but was not thinking how im going to charge it.

is there a 30 pin 3-way out there??
as i would like to use my stock charge cord .
what can i do ??
ill post pics if you like. im making a custom full length center console and it will go into that. as i have a 7" flip out head unit in my dash.
 
thanks for the reply.
well i needed to get the audio from the tab to the back of my h/u .

i need to see if there's a way i can put 2 30 pin connectors together and make 1 ...
so i can have 1 30pin and it will do both of what i need.

if not ill just have to pull it to charge as im making it removable .

see i have tried ...
Bluetooth-- it sounds like crap throw my h/u . as my h/u its only for call ( phone ) and does not do audio to good.

3.5 jack-- ( now that sounds good but my h/u does not have a 3.5 jack on the back, only on front and dont want a wire running off the front of it. im trying to do a nice install.

so i figure i will try this new cord with rca video and audio as i have a 7" screen on my radio so i can watch vid. from tablet to my h/u .

anyway thanks... i just need to figure out something.

I am in the process of putting a tab 2 7.0 in my nissan frontier. I stole the guts of a docking station. This gives me a standard samsung charging adapter, a head phone jack, and a 90 degree adapter into the tab 2 itself. The wiring of the docking station also gives me the ability to put the tab 2 in docking mode and keep the screen light while the truck is on. I hacked a usb charging cable and a small step down circuit to be feed from the ignition power of the truck, this gives the tab 2 power while the truck is running only. Audio is ran through my relocated head unit by a preamped bluetooth adapter. I figured maybe sometime someone might want to connect their phone instead of the tab 2. Now all I need is a android auto rom, create a battery monitoring / charging circuit to maintain optimal charge on the tab 2 and the truck battery, and to fashion a more accessible power switch.
