Looks like that would be my only other option...I'm still going to see if maybe I can dremel out some of the trim and fit the charger and 3.5mm in and fit it in the dash...who knows maybe I won't even have to open the tablet up and do all that!
Puttin a galaxy tab 2 7.0 in my dash!

Maybe they sell 90 degree plugs?
That may help out to gain some space.

Oh yea I have a bunch of those...im talkin bout 90 dock connector
Good work guys.
FWIW guys, I have owned both the Nexus 7 and the Samsung Tab 2 7.0. The price is the same, you can find the Nexus 7 even cheaper sometimes, and the Nexus 7 is a much faster tablet. If its not too late you may want to look into exchanging yours. Especially if the, eh, hack-a-bility of it is better for this project. They both run Android, so all the apps will work the same, just faster.

Any updates Dub?
Wanna trade me your nexus for my Samsung tab then?
Yea the update is that I hate writing papers and studying so much that I almost lost it today....lol, sadly I got nothing accomplished today with the tab project...I also am going to Tennessee Friday to next Tuesday...So the only day I have to work on the truck is Thursday night : / However the last piece to the puzzle which is my amp, will be here tomorrow so I am going to get everything I possibly can wired up Thursday (hopefully)...I think tomorrow night I am going to work on mounting my tab to the bezel though, I think I am going to try the route of dremeling out the parts of the bezel that prevent the charger cable and headphone jack from going in, because I'm almost possible that it will still fit behind the dash that way

I was reading up a bit and found that a lot of people are saying that running a usb dac improves the audio big time on these tablets. The only problem is when your running unrooted, you can't charge and use a dac at the same time. So I took the leap last night and rooted the nexus. It was pretty easy.
So now that it is rooted I can attach a usb hub to it with multiple outputs and be able to charge at the same time. Another thing you can do is plug usb cam for back up, sd reader or usb hdd and a dac simultaneously. I got some links.

Glad you brought this up! I was about to ask about this actually haha I was reading that it will give way better sound quality too I'm gonna run all my wires tonight for my system and then look into rooting my galaxy tab...is it hard? all the links look great but they all seem to be for nexus 7 not galaxy tab 2 : /
I've never rooted or owned an android device before but jesus this is complicated lol
