MHL is hardware, not software, so it isn't possible. There has been talk of miracast, which is a wifi display device standard, but it sounds like that needs further research and developent to see if it works on the nexus 7, whether it be a hardware or software problem.

[Q] Voodoo Sound on the N7?

I know the app store says that it isn't compatible, but I'd like to hear your opinions. Do you guys think that it might be / know that it is possible to use Voodoo Sound on the Nexus 7?

Seeing as how the audio hardware in the Nexus 7 is completely unrelated (not a Wolfson) to those of any of the previously supported devices in Voodoo Sound, I'm going to assume the Nexus 7 will never be supported.

Never say never. Supercurio tweeted the other day that one of his long term goals is to make a universal voodoo sound to run on any phone. He said no eta but a goal of his.

More than this, I haven't owned a device yet that he hasn't at least worked with developers to port his modifications. It's very likely that we will have support for voodoo sound eventually, although I will say Tegra devices are typically more challenging.
Implementation will be kernel specific, so keep an eye on the kernel devs for Voodoo support.

What this guy said. The Nexus 7 uses a Realtek audio chip not a Wolfson which has open source drivers that supercurio can modify to create near perfect sound.

Correct me if I'm wrong
But to be able to wirelessly charge is down to the hardware. I don't think the N10 has the hardware installed to achieve this.

This is partly true. It could be a compatibility issue. What year and model is the car?
What ROM/kernel are you using?

Blutooth is broken on 4.2.1 you need to wait for 4.2.2 or use a custom kernel like Franco's Kernel.

Thanks everyone. It is a 2012 c300. I am running stock 4.2.1 rooted.

Mine connects to my 2012 Ram on unrooted stock 4.2.1 with no problem. OP, see if there is an update for your vehicle from the dealer. My '12 has already had one due to an issue with the HDD in the radio.

Just called and nothing. They actually have never heard of anyone trying to pair their tablets. I had a feeling they would not be much help.
I am wondering if I try to go to another rom.

You're on 4.2.1 stock?
Wouldn't hurt to try. I'll try connecting to my 2013 Jetta tonight. What is it you're trying to tether? Audio, I suspect...

Cars usually only connect to Phones via bluetooth because phones have different bluetooth profiles than tablets since phones have changes in their framework to allow phone calls.
most cars connect to the phone so you can use the phone hands free. tablets dont have hands free bluetooth profiles thus is probably why your Mercedes isn't linking properly as the tablet doesn't support syncing phone books and phone calls.
Someone else may have paired theirs with their Dodge ram but they most likely paired it for Audio to their audio system but not their navigation/phone system.
I got the same problem next time will buy a BMW.
I had issues connecting an android 4.2.1 device to an AUDI A6. gave up after a few days, even took it to the dealership and they couldn't figure it out.
for some odd ball reason, android bluetooth just doesn't work right. I tried all my apple devices (ipad and ipod touch 4g) and it connected instamagically to the car.
Let me know how it goes for you and I will try the later rom

[Q] Help please

Hi there
I just bought a Nexus 4
And I was reading that OTG cable is not Supported -_-
16(12)GB is not enogh for me
Does any one know any Idea? that can help me get more space?
I don't want powerd hub. I need something Small fits into my pockets?
Is there any Small Wiless hdd or something like that?
Please hep!
Well, you either buy the rumored 32 GB Nexus that is supposed to come out next month, maybe, or you could use cloud storage for your stuff, like dropbox.
you could also check this out. works for the galaxy nexus, nexus 7, and nexus 10, so I'm sure it'll work for the nexus 4 as well

Ah I see well this is a better explanation than the NO. I just didn't read well enough. Well tough luck, buddy. You're out of options then
Here is a better explanation of NO
the micro SD kickstarter you just linked is a small OTG device. Meaning it won't work with our nexus 4

Again not feasible as it would not have any power required.
Those cards are designed for the likes of cameras where you don't have to plug into your PC to transfer files off it. As there is no SD slot on the nexus 4. You would require another device with an SD slot to power it

[Q] Does 4.3 bring Bluetooth LE for the Nexus 10?

From this thread,
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1j6cfe/bt_40_ble_support_was_planned_for_galaxy_nexus/
it appears last year's Nexus 7 and the Galaxy Nexus did not get Bluetooth LE updates. Does anyone know about the Nexus 10?
Yes.

I'm not sure if this is the case.
I just spent some time getting the SDK to tell me whether LE is supported. The steps how to do it are outlined here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/bluetooth-le.html
The code reports LE is *not* supported.
Also when going to the FAQ, it seems that only the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 2013 are supported. Go to the bottom of here:
https://support.google.com/nexus/10/answer/2819579?hl=en
So far all signs point to Nexus 10 *NOT* supporting Bluetooth LE.
