Does anyone have an Android Tablet in place of a head unit? Was thinking of doing this for my car, but not sure how it would work out.

It's been done, and posted here. Use the search function. iPad Mini has been done, too.

Features
-AppRadio -> I can use a bunch of iphones apps and steam them to my headunit, I use Waze/ dashcommand/ escortpolicemap /
-Bluetooth
-Pandora
-DVD player
-Navigation* - have to purchase a $40 iphone cable -> can stream any iphone nav app to the headunit,
-Rear view camera* $20
-ASWC1 steering wheel control module - $40

All said and done is under $400 delivered to my door with all the harnesses.

to recap; I now have a headunit that I can control with my oem steering controls, looks good, plays DVD's, has a backup cam, streams GPS from iphone (Waze), and has a nightvision IR backup camera that I can toggle on demand.

-I also did DVD bypass so I can watch movies while I drive (well the passenger can) / can also toggle rear view camera on demand - to see who is tailgating me or make a lane change in heavy traffic without using side mirrors.

i bought a pioneer 5600bt, the same steering harnesses, the metra dash kit, all of it. im trying to figure out what im missing because the dash kit doesnt fit anything not the car or the radio. the harness only utilizes two of the oem plugs the other two just sit there. what did i miss?
