I have only one need for a Tablet - and this one does the job perfectly!

Posted: Aug 13, 2014, 10:04 AM

Phone owned for more than a year

I have this tablet mounted in the dashboard of my car, replacing my headunit and it works GREAT at it's task. I have it BlueToothed to my phone for Tablet Talk as well as to my Kiwi OBDII Adapter with Torque for monitoring my car's ECU. I have it running SlimKat 4.4.4 Android KitKat and it runs it great! I have a 16GB SD Card in it with all of my music to play locally via my car speakers (through an EQ -> Amplifier's), and when need be I can tether it via WiFi to my phone and hop online for GPS/updates/streaming. Great build quality and I have a non-reflective screen protector from HHI (HandHeldItems) to keep the glare down. Plus it's the perfect size to fit in my dashboard!
