[QUOTE="cfox10, post: 8257769, member: 631530"] So I'm installing a tablet into my car...or rather, I already have. Next thing to do is relocate my heat/ac controls and mount my pioneer hu where those go. That shouldn't be too hard. My question is... should I have the power be with the ignition switch or use my own switch? I'm only asking because if I have to let it charge while the car is off, in case I haven't driven in a while or something..I could leave the switch on and let it charge for a while. Other option is to get a nice AGM and use a voltage regulator and wire that directly into the tablet using it as the tablets battery. Have an isolator from my main battery and when the car is running the alternator should help keep the voltage up. I'd have to charge the battery every so often though I imagine. Any thoughts or ideas? The tablet I'm using is a Galaxy tab 3, only reason I decided to put it in the ride is because of the crazy deal I got on it. [/QUOTE]
