I know one disadvantage.

In a few years it will literally be unusable.

My iPhone 3 doesn't even work because the apps and new system will
Not let it update. I Literally can't even listen to music.


I thought I'd use it as an iPod but guess apple got me, literally a worthless wire/glass brick. Lol

One thing they dont like is temperature extremes... We have tablets in all our work trucks.. They get messed up when its too hot and too cold.

Do you know how systems work? You definitely can use amps with headunits

I think he means by keeping the HU he doesn't need a separate amp. Does look good, though, and my only concern would be software updates will eventually render any tablet obsolete in a few years, which CK_32 mentioned.

Installing a tablet may not be a wise decision since the technology is antiquated very quickly. The tablet you install today will be obsolete in just a few months (or even weeks).

The 350z has a perfect position for a screen, and a separate compartment for a “brain.” Your best plan is installing the screen and the processing unit as separate components.

That's a first.

I've only gotten the "IPhone" "iPad" too hot warning after leaving it on the seat of a locked car or on a table in the sun during summer.
