Thread: VW Golf "Nexus 7 HU" Install

it now has charging.

It now turns on and off with the car through Tasker settings by sensing the "charge". Before it was with the bluetooth module signal. Both achieve the same results. But it is nice to not worry about running out of battery at any point.

Is it this reciever you are using?

I am using that with my Nexus 7, but I'm having issues with it automatically connecting. If I leave bluetooth on on the tablet and then power up the Logitech it doesn't connect automatically, and pressing the connect button on the unit just activates pairing.

If the Logitech is already on and I activate bluetooth on the Nexus, it connects, but I didn't want to have to go through the options and turn on bluetooth every time I get in the car.

To get around it I am looking at using an NFC tag (spare blank ID cards at work) attached to my car mount to turn on bluetooth and connect, but it would be much better if I didn't have to.

Yes. There is a kernal hack for CM10 that will allow you to do it with a Y cable. I think it's a bit one way though. Not sure you can then plug anything in directly without a powered hub.

The other option is to use the pogo pins for charging and USB for OTG. I'm waiting for the official pogo dock and will cut that up and fabricate into the dash.

yes it is. i've had issues with the auto connect apps. I was playing around with Tasker for it. I'm pretty sure I should have it working fine soon.

Tasker and BT Auto Connect. I have got it to connect, but it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting.

That's the stage I'm at. Keep playing and tweaking until it works...

yup! believe it or not I find it entertaining. coming from a straight forward iOS style devices such as the ipad, the level of customization is unbelievable with the Android tablet.
