I had to clip a tab on the bezel to make it fit. other than that its pretty much a direct fit.

Yeah, I have a Kenwood excelon 997 behind it. I also have an anker e5 battery that I can plug the tablet into to charge if I'm leaving it in there for extended periods of time. It's usually plugged into a cigarette lighter.

It's running a custom kernel so I can unlock the device by double tapping the screen, and under volted the processor and GPU as well.

Tablet connects to my phone for wifi and phone calls. Audio is via blue tooth.

You will also need the double din bezel from subaru because the stock bezel is too wide

Swapped black flaps for red. Also installed some replica 22B vents, but true to their nature, fitment was poopy and took them off.

Nothing much, just found out what was causing that belt whining sound...

Spacer for my Subtle alternator shroud. The whining is still there, so unfortunately, it may have caused some damage to the pulley it was rubbing on.
