I cut the dash to the size of the nexus 7, then formed a cardboard frame glued to the inside then filled with bondo and covered with felt to make the pocket. It's a snug fit so it stays put even on the bumpiest of roads or sharpest of fast turns.

The audio is bluetooth, I have a bluetooth audio receiver and handsfree kit that plugs into a stereo gain control I have mounted where the cigarette lighter used to be to control volume. That feeds the front Alpine power pack amp and the Kicker sub amp.

Inside the pocket I made in the dash is an LG Wireless Qi charging puck that's positioned specifically for the 2013 Nexus 7 to provide power.

All combined I have a tablet installation that requires no plugging in and out of anything to use the tablet outside of the car. Just push it in place hit play and go.

Many people have a problem with bluetooth audio I found it to be very satisfactory and sounds damn good, but alas I am no audiophile so different strokes... your mileage may vary, What I can tell you is once you start using an android device for a head unit you willl never go back to a "normal" radio.
