That looks awesome! I'm just curious... I know the the charger data connectors on my devices tend to wear out from plugging and unplugging them. Can you replace that part easily? I don't have any apple devices, maybe the charging devices don't wear out like the mini USB type?
For the most part they are easy. Just some needle nose pliers and kinda break it loose from the glue. I actually had to swap out the one I originally installed because with the usb extension off the Kenwood and the long lightning cord it was just too much wire. So I used an lightning cord that was about 3” long instead.

Great workmanship there Novak..
Ive been going round and round about where to install gauges in my 97, and all ideas require hacking and custom work. Then I considered the edge insight and buy eas sensors for all my vitals, but then read many terrible reviews about the insight locking up, turning off and decided not to.
I also need a new stereo and always thought a tablet would be neat, so is there a way I could get engine vitals from sensors and read them on the tablet without auto meter Bluetooth?
And is using a regular car head unit the "norm" when using a tablet in a car? What other interfaces could be used, or is it just the best choice?
Thanks!
I used an Edge in my Duramax’s in the past with probes and such and never had any issue. The screens go black and all you do is simply tap the screen to turn the monitor on, I too thought for the longest time that it was shutting down on me randomly so I would unplug and plug it back in but in all reality I just needed to tap the screen to “wake up” the monitor. I liked the CTS for pulling codes when they pop up on long road trips.
If you don’t want Bluetooth but you don’t want a hardwired monitor then I’m not sure you can do anything unless you went mechanical gauges. The only other option would be PLX which uses a patented “daisy chain” so that one probe jumps to a junction box to another probe. Their web page is confusing af so I suggest calling them for the most accurate info.
The iPad dash requires a radio to function and communicate with your amps, speakers tweets etc. without a radio behind the iPad then that would require a whole new box of worms that I never considered because essentially you are practically hand building an interface for your truck which just sounds like BCM problems down the road to me.
The iPad dash seems crazy confusing but literally it is no different than if I just had a kenwood deck with a usb cord hanging out the front that is used to play music. I haven’t put a deck in a 2nd gen in a long time but I’m pretty sure they don’t require an interface, the 03’+ require an interface so that the steering wheel and radio communicate also along with automatic sounds like a door chime or check engine light chime or low fuel chime.
The edge would annoy me.. Unless it wakes up when the programmable alarm set-points trip?
As far as the ipad, I don't want to reinvent the wheel either. Did you pick kenwood because they work best with apple products? I'm thinking the tablet may be better off mounted on a Ram adjustable arm to tilt it straight at me.
nice dash work what do ya got behind you? db?
On decks your pigeon holed to those that offer a REAR USB, that’s the only must have. Other than that I just looked up a couple different models and this one was cheap af and has Bluetooth calling. They have adjustable mounts but I’m not sure on quality among those
Just used it on a 25 hour round trip and my family binge watched Breaking Bad. But that was 15G of data i pay for unlimited and Verizon best believe I’m gonna find the fine print limits of unlimited data.
