Does anyone know if you can connect a tablet to a smartphone to be able to use the bigger touch screen of the tablet as you would your phone (if that makes sense)

I just fancy doing what you've done Rusky but having a larger screen on the mountRusky said:You can tether your phone to your tablet. Ie run the same apps on your tablet but use your phones data connection. You could probably screen mirror your phone on your tablet too but i have never tried it.

Can easily be done with an 8inch tablet instead of a phone.
Oooh now you're talking. Can you send me details of the parts I need when you get 5 mins

Will have a look tonight when i get home. Basically its just one box and a phone mount. Install is easy
So guys the cd mount for a tablet is easy to get hold of IPOW from Amazon. Thing that is more difficult to find is the magic box. AUDIOVOX MBR 1500. I have seen an alternative but cant find where i saw it but i will keep looking and let you know when i find it
That's brill Rusky...already hunting for a decent android tablet
OK so the audiovox media bridge that i have is bloody impossible to find, so i have had a look for something that will give bluetooth hands free and audio streaming (playing the music from your phone without any physical connection) Looks like this will still keep the steering wheel controls.

so this and the ipow tablet holder will give you what you need.
I like the idea of using my 8inch samsung tablet but my concern is that you would have to hide it away every time you park it up.
let me know how you get on Fellas.

Rusky you are a star
I'll order one and let you know how I get on. Yes the concern over the tablet on show when left parked somewhere was something I need to think about. Thanks a lot for all your help and time
