[QUOTE="aidilj, post: 485100, member: 20536"] Update Hi guys, a little update on the project. After a quick demo to officemates they commented that the glare is too much. An idea from Jarance is that to tilt the screen to not reflect directly from any window. So I've decided to to tilt the screen down to mirror towards rear seat instead of rear window. Visibility increase tremendously. Current orientation. [IMG]http://i791.photobucket.com/albums/yy197/aidilj/carputer/IMG_2762.jpg[/IMG] Also reverse camera and GPS mouse arrival. The reverse camera is going to be installed during CNY break, planning to include a manual switch so that it can be used when not in reverse as well :evil: The GPS mouse uses SIRF III chip and has magnetic base. Locking time is good, planning to put it behind the instrument cluster.

This is originally made for Galaxy Tab. We'll see how good this one works, the protector is quite milky (promising).
