Take one Nexus 7, a car dashboard and a whole lot of DIY skills and what do you get? #projectN7 that’s what

By James Pearce on January 25, 2013 in Android

Now and again you come across something so cool on YouTube you just have to share it. Today is one of those days.

@mr_bridger from Twitter has been busy with his Nexus 7 and his car dashboard. He has basically removed the old panel, got a new one and then modified it until his Nexus 7 fitted in.

He went from this

Pretty neat looking. He’s even added a custom setup to look like KITT from Knight Rider.

He then went and filmed it in action.

It is certainly impressive stuff, he has music, Sat Nav and a whole load of other apps available whilst at the wheel. I’m now wondering if I could incorporate my Nexus 7 into my car somehow. For more info as the project goes on either follow Ross @mr_bridger on Twitter. I think he is planning a large roundup of pictures and info once the whole thing is finished.

About James Pearce

I spend most of the day telling people to turn stuff off and back on again. Inbetween doing that I post news and reviews over here.

I am about to embark on a Windows Phone 8 and Windows RT self imposed restriction for a few months. Keep your eyes on the site for updates.
