    How To:Samsung Galaxy Tab Stereo for Bose trucks

    Don't know anything about your PAC, but the mic plugs in via the headphone jack. It's a 3 post terminal (left, right, microphone) My truck doesn't have steering wheel controls, but I would think you would need to be a GM electrical engineer to figure that one out. Good luck with it!

    How To:Samsung Galaxy Tab Stereo for Bose trucks

    The tablet has an automatic dimmer that dims when it gets dark in the truck. Dimming/brightness has never been an issue The only issue I have had so far is the battery temp in the summer. The tablet will pop up a message saying the battery is hot and charging will be paused until the battery...

    Longest Lasting Trucks. How Many Miles on Yours?

    04 GMC this picture was taken the day before we replaced the motor. It was burning a quart of oil with every tank of gas. Ran fine though.

    You will have to make some cuts to your dash to get the ipad mini to fit. Even then, it wont look like it belongs. Its a weird shape (not 16x9). Also, the ipad does not have a built in GPS antenna. So GPS will only work if you have an ipad with a data plan. I couldnt get the gps on my ipad...

    Yes, but you would need an aftermarket amp to power your speakers. The Bose system has an amp in the center console. I believe the non-Bose systems are powered through the stock head unit.

    How To:Samsung Galaxy Tab Stereo for Bose trucks

    I don't pull the dash if I need to access it. I pull the cup holder and the USB cable is right there. I just pull the USB cable from the charger and plug into my laptop. You can also set up an app called AirPlayIt and stream all your music and movies to the tablet from your home computer. You...

    How To:Samsung Galaxy Tab Stereo for Bose trucks

    I dont know of a way to add a USP port, but the tablet has a MicroSD card slot. I have a 32gb card in there with music and a few movies. I read that the 32gb is the biggest you can go.

    How To:Samsung Galaxy Tab Stereo for Bose trucks

    An 8" tab might be too big. I know the iPad mini is WAY too big to fit without cutting up the dash and it's less than 8". I tried the iPad mini before I installed the Samsung.

    A quick iphone jailbreak will solve the tethering problem with AT&T.

    I have an Omega Echo alarm and it works fine along with the door chime. I can't figure it out.

    How To:Samsung Galaxy Tab Stereo for Bose trucks

    I only have a subwoofer amp. I am using a line output converter spliced into the speaker wires feeding the factory sub under the center console. You could use another RCA splitter and run more RCAs to another amp.

    How To:Samsung Galaxy Tab Stereo for Bose trucks

    I have a volume widget that runs up and down the left side of the screen. I just swipe my finger up and down the side and it adjusts the volume regardless of what screen is displayed. The microphone is for video chat and voice recognition for GoogleNow.

    Its fine. I compared it against my iphone and the Apple devices definitely sound better, but I downloaded an EQ app and it sounds fine. Its not studio quality, but it is good. The iphone sounded better than my Avic Z3 when I tested with it. I was thinking about an iPad mini, but they dont...

    Its really a no-brainer when you think about it. My last stereo was a Pioneer Avic-Z3 and it retailed for $1800. It played DVDs and had navigation, but that's about it. I have about $300 in this unit and it does so much more! This thing has the weather forecast on the home screen...

    I used the same harness adapter I had with my Pioneer Nav stereo. Its the GMOS-04 by Metra. I installed a switched 12v cig lighter adapter under the cup holders and ran the usb docking cable to it for power. I used the RED and BLACK wires that would normally connect to the head unit to power...

    Stereo turns back on after getting out of the truck

    I have the GMOS04 by Metra, but it did the same thing with the factory setup as well, so its not the harness.
