Done two actually, one in 2005 and one in 2006.
you say that.. but then... there's no proof
I know you did it first PVR
and you're the bravest of them all for it... I wouldn't have even thought about cutting the dash if it wasn't for the posts here on how to do so! It's a scary bloody moment!
So, props to you
well well well.. it only bloody fits!
there's a small amount of trimming to be done just to get it to fit perfectly, but it is in, and importantly, it aligns with the mounting holes!
phew.
I'm now going to take the rest of the night to drink a few beers and let my burnt fingers recover (who'd have known melting plastic would be very hot to touch..... :roll: )

For the tablet and arduino, I'm going to start by using a 12v powered USB hub and then when all is well, look at stepping down the voltage with a small circuit to 5v 5amp.
For the actual motor, DanMiddle2 is going to let me know what he did this evening, so once I know, I'll let you know.
What a cracking job! Very brave and an excellent result

Looks awesome. I've sent you a PM and added a few posts to the howto which should cover the power but PM me if not.
Out of curiosity; did you go with the Ascend Mate or another Phablet?
