Connecting smartphone to tablet
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)

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.

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

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
