Work In Progress: Android Tablet installation in a Gen4 Subaru Liberty Part 2

This is Part 2 of my Work In Progress of my Android Tablet installation. Apologies for the big gap between videos!

The tablet is now installed and has been working very well for the last four months. The current features used are:

- Torque Pro for vehicle engine monitoring
- Google Maps and Google Navigation for maps and navigation
- Google Music for music playback
- Google Movies for watching movies
- Using Timur's ROM for the Nexus 7 2013 to put the tablet into deep sleep when the car is off and also for playing the shutdown video sequence.
- Tablet Talk for using the tablet to control my phone for making and receiving calls (can also handle SMS).
- Internet access is currently tethering through the phone's Wifi Hotspot, but the tablet is the LTE version that can take its own SIM. The big benefit of using a SIM would be easily being able to track the car in the event of it being stolen.

Still to do:

- Reverse camera
- USB Webcam for recording video and overlaying Torque Pro (or equivalent) telemetry for track work.
- Joycon for steering wheel controls

Issues experienced thus far:
- On rare occasion, the Bluetooth head unit won't reconnect to the tablet when I turn the car on. This appears to be the fault of the tablet (more specifically Android itself - there are some known Bluetooth issues in 5.0.1 and 5.0.2), as turning off Bluetooth and then turning it back on, then telling the head unit to try again (by simply pressing the Play/Pause button) will re-establish the connection.
- I have driven into some areas where Bluetooth streaming is suddenly interrupted for a split second one or more times. Having observed that these interruptions only happen in these specific areas I drive in, I have concluded that it is due to electromagnetic or other strong radio interference in that area that is on the same frequency as Bluetooth. My phone calls where the Bluetooth audio is going to the car are interrupted in a similar fashion.
