[QUOTE="che47audio, post: 8121921, member: 655511"] Hi there, I recently started to install a Nexus 7 to be used as a head unit in my car. I have it fitted and looking nice with the line output running to the aux input of my car stereo which is now mounted in the glove box. Now I just need to power it!! So my questions are, - can I split the 12v that currently feeds the ISO connector to the stereo and use an adapter to get the 5v 2a that I need? Or is this dangerous? - It would make sense to use the "switched" 12v volts so the tablet is only powered when the ignition is on. Agree? - If I can't use the twelve volts that is currently powering the car stereo at the same time, where can I get power from? Thanks for your time Most appreicated Chris [/QUOTE]
