I'll probably also relocate the microUSB charging port so that I don't have to cut into the AC vent for the tablet to fit.

I know you were thinking about 2012 vs 2013, and this is another reason to go with 2012. The earlier version has the USB port on a daughterboard that can be repositioned. Unless you're exceptionally good with a soldering iron, the 2013 version can't be moved. I haven't found a USB cable with a low enough profile to prevent hacking up the AC vent, either.

Anyways, I am going with an OTG Y-cable which will allow me to power the tablet from another source.

This guy at XDA did some work with a Nexus 7 and DVB-T Tuner/antenna that might be of some help to you. |

OK guys, sorry for the delay, but I have hit a major snag and I have not been able to get the HDMI conversion process to work. Heres the problem: the CGA to HDMI converter board has 4 different output resolutions:
Attachment 102664 (This is a picture of the converter board output when I hook it up to my HDTV) The FEBON HDMI grabber supports 4 HDMI input resolutions: Attachment 102665 (email response from FEBON when I told him I was having problems.) Unfortunately none of these match. The closest match would be a converter board output of 1360x768 and a HDMI grabber input of 1366x768. I'm still going to try a little bit more tinkering. Obviously there is a bit of a language barrier with Andy Febon, so I'm not sure how much help I will get out of him. Here is the manual he posts online for the HDMI grabber Attachment 102666 Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
chris can you help out with the other questions and thanks
do you have any pictures of what the factory nav looks like on nexus? but high resolution pics? just want to see how it looks it might be good enough not to need hdmi.. chris please check your pm when you get a chance thank you |

Maybe connect an HDMI to VGA converter to the CGA to HDMI board. Then connect the VGA to a VGA to HDMI converter and finally that HDMI into the HDMI to UVC board....
I found plenty of VGA to HDMI converters that will accept 1360x768 as input and then output 1280x720 or 1980x1080.... so if you can get that HDMI turned into VGA, and then convert it back to HDMI...it might work? It would be a really ugly way of doing it of course, but it's the first thing that came to mind |

Okay guys I'm very excited. I made some major strides this evening and have got it almost working. Using the 1360x768 output on the converter and the 1366x768 input on the FEBON, got this result:
Attachment 102690 Attachment 102691 Attachment 102692 Attachment 102693 The picture quality is extremely good. Although the composite picture i used before was pretty good, this is much better. Obviously I'm not all the way there yet... the sides and the top are cut off. I'm pretty sure this is a software problem. The only program that I could get to work is DashCam. And the only resolution that it would display at was 1280x720 Attachment 102679 Obviously this program doesn't have an option for the resolution I need. All you software guys out there, I need your help! |
I apologize, I'm not a programmer so forgive me if this is stupid. But the same people who make DashCam (which is closed source) make an open source program called SimpleWeb Cam which you can find here:
http://droidperception.wordpress.com/simplewebcam-app/ Anyway this can be modified to support custom resolutions? |

As it turns out, I do software for a living like jattsurma. I don't work with Android specifically but I have had experience with it. I won't be able to look at the code until I get home from work but it's definitely worth a shot. Have you installed their open source version to see if that works at all yet?

Yea, I did try the default SimpleWebCam, however the display seems to default to 640x480. Its basically a zoomed in blurry picture of the upper left hand corner. I wish I could give you a screen shot right now but I'm at work and obviously can't hook it up to my car!

Hey Jattsurma, did you try modifying the app yet? I looked at it for maybe a minute and found two different references to the width and height. I changed them from 640x480 to 1366x768 and then built the .apk. Here is a link to the new APK if you want to try it out Chris. I doubt the change will be that simple, but maybe it'll work.
