Tablet android installed on my 2005

[BigBoy99]

I have decided to run with the nook color and root it with CM9. The nook has Bluetooth, USB, and you can use GPS when you DL from the market. I will have to save money for the new speakers, amps and sub.. I will post more in my own build thread so I don't jack this one..

I plan to start a new thread on the Thrive install too. Mine will not be in the truck permanent, just on a support arm so I can use it for other things and the convenience of loading apps etc.

The Torque software is working find with the PLXII ODB2 BT device so I'll install it on the Thrive with the various GPS and navigation apps.

As for the sound system - no one has replied to my thread asking about converging with the stock radio and amps via harness, so I'll keep investigating this.

Bigboy99, I can work with you offline if you wish and maybe we can share notes since we want to do nearly the same thing. I have a good friend that I camp with a lot in Portland, so I'm frequently near there. The next time I head toward Mt Hood etc I'll let you know and maybe I can get a look at your rig?

You can go with a NEW FLEABAY for less money or a known company like ADORAMA which still has a competitive price and return policy.

The refurb Thrive looks great, feels great and is fast . . but the right speaker is DOA. I'm going to see about returning it to Cowboom where I bought it.

 

[SourMashII]

More was inferring model number than where I intend to purchase.

 

[Captain Morgan]

Right, but since I had the search up it was no effort for me to point folks in that direction.

Archos reviews have me scared.

 

[Captain Morgan]

Yeah they've had some ongoing firmware issues and AFAIK they aren't fixed yet. I bought the ASUS TF300T 10" and it upgraded to ICS 4.01 and is screaming fast! I'm really happy with it.
