Today it’s hard to imagine a car without a radio. Often, the owners of their cars want to improve comfort in the car. To do this, buy a multimedia radio with a set of many functions. But not everyone can afford a branded multimedia radio. After all, it costs not a little money. And when buying a cheap Chinese radio, you have to play the "lottery." After all, no one knows how long it will work, even the manufacturer. The way out of this situation is to install the tablet in the car. The average branded tablet now costs as much as the cheap Chinese multimedia radio. Additional advantages of the tablet are the company guarantee for this product and the ability to take the tablet home. In fact, one tablet can replace both the radio in the car and the computer at home. With one shot you can kill two birds with one stone.

To install the tablet in the car was done carefully, and it organically fit into the design of the car, you will have to try and spend a little time and effort.

The procedure for installing the tablet in the car


Installing a tablet in a car involves several steps:
  • preparing a place for a tablet;
  • making a shelf for a tablet;
  • installation of an amplifier and supply of power wires;
  • installing a tablet in a car and setting it up.

First of all, you need to prepare a place for the tablet. It is placed in the central part of the car dashboard so that there is a good view from all seats. In almost all cars, a standard radio tape recorder and a glove box are located in this place. These amenities will have to be sacrificed. If on the installation site of the future tablet any buttons are placed, they need to be moved to another convenient place for use. The old radio tape recorder needs to be removed, and the power cable and speaker taps should be left. A tablet will be connected to them. Then you need to remove the part of the torpedo on which the tablet will be installed.

Making a shelf for a tablet


The next step is to make a shelf for the tablet. To do this, you need to purchase a tablet (if it is not already), epoxy resin, putty for plastic, rubber spatulas, spray paint can in the color of a car torpedo. Prepare a jigsaw, sandpaper, drill, a lot of plastic bags, a bandage, tape. Then place the shot part of the torpedo on the table. Place the tablet on it as it will be installed. Mark the boundaries of the tablet on the future shelf and use a jigsaw to cut off all unnecessary bulges. Then put the tablet in plastic bags. It is desirable in different positions for the tablet to be completely packed in them, and all this is good to wrap with tape. Put the tablet on the table with the display down. Put a shelf on it as in the future the tablet will be located on it. Using epoxy, pour all the bumps and unnecessary holes on the back of the shelf directly onto the tablet. For strength, it is necessary to lay the bandage on epoxy in several layers. When the entire surface of the shelf is finished, it must be left to dry for 2-3 days.
