Default Small Car Project

I bought the motorola Xoom when it came out, and since i've used it less then a total of ten hours. I was trying to sell it but I wasnt getting what I was asking for, and theyre going pretty cheap ~300$ I paid 800. Anyways I wanted to find a use for it and I found one. I aways wanted a touchscreen face for the car but never wanted to get one because none of them are removable. The fact that my car has been broken into really stopped me from getting one. I've found a solution though. Check it out.

Thanks, i actually used 4 sets of velcro. I bought some peices of wood, glued them together and then painted and sanded them down. Used these to give me clearance of the buttons. Took about 1 hour to do minuis wait time and cost about $15. I figured this was a way better alternative than the $70+ plastic mount that hook up to the ac vents. That or the 90 chair mount... This was the end result, its firm and doesnt wiggle at all, perfect angle to reduce glare too. I'm really happy with it

Pretty cool.


FYI, JVC makes a few double din models that are detachable.
