[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Codaroy:
All of this coming from the post on this blog tech2much.com

After getting my nook on the night of December 24, 2011 I naturally did what any person would have done if they had an “ereader” that had a 1.0 Ghz dual core processor, and 1 GB of RAM. Yes, you guessed it, I rooted it and starting side-loading as much on there as I could stand. After that was accomplished and the over the OTA updates finally got settled I then sat down again and said, what do I do now with this little beauty? Well, I started watching XDA like a hawk trying to find out if I could just get rid of this barnes and noble OS, and put Android 2.3 on, well soon enough a group of dedicated people got together and had an excellent version of CM7 working on this device before I knew it….now im sitting here again wondering what I could do with this amazing thing. O wait! how cool would it be to be able to install this Nook Tablet in my car!? So I set off on my quest of locating different parts to use that would help me accomplish this task.

I saw a couple of different posts around the internet of some people that had accomplished this and had done a very good job but it did not work for my particular needs. I needed it:

To be completely removable from my car

To be comletely reversable

To not need to make my own fiberglass

Those three things were very essential because this device also had my school notes on it so I had to be able to take it around, I wanted to be able to reverse the setup if I eventually wanted to change my car around. Lastly I didnt want to rebuild my dash by making my own fiberglass. I 100% admire people that flat out rebuild their dash for projects like this, but this wasnt something for me.

Here is what my 1992 Toyota Corolla looked like before the install

The way this is set up, where that monitor is sitting used to be a cassette tape holder, yes thats right, remember this is from 1992. Obviously that holder wasnt working for me, so I added this little beauty. Now your looking at that and saying “are you crazy, why didnt you just hook a pc up to that thing and have a full blown Windows or linux environment on there?” Well, that was originally my intention, but that monitor is a DVD player/radio/AUX. I wouldnt be accepted as a secondary monitor (I tried several times). So then after using that for a year and a half I decided to move on to putting this Nook Tablet in the car.

I found this awesome little mount for the Nook here

This mount was really awesome, now how do I mount this in my car where it seems like its part of the dash, but without drilling through anything…..out comes that old cassette holder.

Now we need some way to hold the mount on there…

Im pretty excited at this point except something isnt right with this picture…its not in my car yet!

The next several pictures detail my struggle with my dash.

Now I seriously considered setting up a little amplifier unit up here to really make this thing work, but I decided against it because I wasnt sure of the future of this project. So I decided to by a radio from Best Buy and just hook the Nook up through the auxillary.

Now its time to wire up the new radio and mount the mount.

After sticking the dash back together (2 hours later) I finally had my completely reversible, affordable setup.

Also I have this awesome speaker setup in the back seat that I put together a couple months previous to this project that really made this all worth it.
