How did I miss a thread about another Podder???????
Anyway, welcome Supa.
Great truck and love the mods.
I hope you don't mind me adding you to my signature as a fellow podder? You make number 11.
Take care out there.

Really nice thread mate. Lots of ideas and inspiration even for non-podders. Keep the updates coming as you do things.
Thanks, Cameron
No Patrol now - Just good memories!
O mate loving this thread, why restrict yourself with a tablet? There is no end to the possibility's once you have a decent platform to work with. Don't get me wrong android is great but your forever hitting a brick wall in terms of coding/programing/apps and before long your looking for an app to scratch your head your ass. I went straight for a windows platform/tough book even as much as I love to hate windows you really cant beat it now I'm starting to work with usb powered relays and a whole heap of new avenues

Hi Silent Dreams
Nice setup
I had a windows setup in the previous truck for quite a few years. I had a laptop permanently mounted under the drivers seat and had a 7 inch touch screen that came out of the dash. I also had cetrafuse as the front end which I notice you are using (great program).
The main reason I went with android this build was because I really like Oziexplorer for Android. It only does a fraction of what the windows version does but I find it much better for touch screen use, and most importantly my navigator much prefers it. It allows me to record and load tracks and record way points much easier with the touch screen than the windows version. If I want to edit the tracks later on or use the more complex features I use the laptop, which I do travel with. I will make a simple loader which the tablet will boot to and in fact will look much like Centrafuse.
As for interfacing the Tablet to other devices I have been dabbling with an Arduino Android shield and relay board that allows me to get the tablet to "talk" to and switch any aspect of the car that I want. I originally was planning to use this to monitor batteries and a few other things but in the end I decided to keep it as simple as possible. I really like tinkering with electronics, I have the equipment to make my own circuit boards and I can write Android apps but I had more ideas that my time would allow me to implement.

Very nice build mate, one day when the right pod comes along
2003 gu3 td42tdi sold 😞 bloody gvm towing crap. Bt50 3500kg gvm.
I love it mate!!! Trying to find myself a pod ATM
G`day Supa
Top build there mate
I have been using an Exomount for about 12 months with a 10inch screen and it has been very good.
The only problem that I have had with it was on one extremely hot day where the cabin temp got up to possibly around 50degrees it did fall of the dash.
Best of luck and safe travels
Pearcey
