Car install - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good afternoon all I have recently purchased a nexus 7 with hoping to use as a dash install I have purchased a 2012 nexus 7 android v5.1.1 kernel 3.1.10 I have searched and just get lost on this subject I have bought the following accessories
U control UCA202
Kenwood 350w 4 channel amp
Double din head unit support
Usb pod 4 way
What I would like to know is how to get the audio coming out of the UCA and what app do people use to do the auto on and off via ignition?
I'm sure this has been done many times before but I have been searching and get lost with the results so all advice and help would be appreciated
Thank you

[Q] Can I use a USB DAC with my Nexus 10?

I found this about doing it with the Nexus 7, I'm wondering if its possible to do with the Nexus 10... from here:
http://www.head-fi.org/t/627459/use-a-standard-usb-dac-with-a-nexus-7-step-by-step-guide
Can anyone with technical knowledge of the devices tell me if the same process would allow me to do it with my Nexus10? I'm thinking of buying a decent setup, a FiiO E07K and some new headphones. I'm just wondering if the process would work on my version of the Nexus.
Wow lots of views but no comments

Nexus 7 flo vs. Nexus 7 grouper

Hello all, my first post here.
Recently jumped into the Nexus 7 game with both feet and bought first a 2012 Nexus 7 then almost immediately a 2013 Nexus 7. After playing with both a bit I opted to buy yet another Nexus 7 but my purchase of choice the 3rd time around was another 2012 Nexus 7.
While on paper the specs for the 2013 Nexus 7 are sweet and it is no doubt a fantastic tablet my needs seem to be more suited to the 2012 based on the following conditions, (which I'm aware could change with hacks and kernel updates).
First of all I have USBROM installed on both my 2012 Nexus 7's. It allows me to connect a DAC to my Nexus and also an OTG Y cable which I can simultaneously charge. I have found with the latest CyanogenMod 10.2 nightlies for the 2013 Nexus 7 I can also connect a DAC but I cannot charge at the same time.
I use Logitech Media Server to stream music to my Nexus 7 and having a wonderful touch screen that won't go off during use is fantastic. It replaced a Raspberry Pi running Squeezeplug. More user friendly for the family but of course more expensive.
Another reason I'm a fan of the 2012 is because I can connect a USB 3G dongle to it using PPPWidget. I have an unlocked Huawei E303 and travel extensively. Being able to hook a dongle up to my Nexus will be invaluable when I'm working on some foreign runway with no wifi and not data roaming on my cell phone.
Nexus 7 flo seems to have kernel module loading disabled.
Anyway in my opinion the newer Nexus 7 is somewhat crippled compared to its older brother. That being said I use my 2013 Nexus 7 religiously and constantly as the others seem to have taken up duties as stereo sources at work and at home. However when I travel I leave the new Nexus 7 at home.
Anyway, just an observation and an introduction. As I said I'm aware one good kernel makes the older Nexus 7 almost obsolete but I'm living in the here and now.

I have a 2013 Ram 1500 and just ordered this https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MTQUE2R/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got the one without knobs because I've heard the version with hard buttons has more of a bezel on the screen (like my old pumpkin one in a different car).
Anyway, it should be in on Fri and I'll install it this weekend. I'll let you know how it works out.
wnbump, any new android headunits out being good options. I see basically the ownice c500 or the joying 2gb unit being the most popular.

Anyone used Eonon's Airplay/Android Auto Dongle? Questions for y'all!

I have the Eonon Android Auto 10.1" universal head unit. I was really disappointed to see that it did not have Android Auto. Come to find out that it supports it (via a Dongle).
Has anyone used this? Is it the real deal Android Auto with the latest enhancements? I'd really like to take advantage of some of the new features they are talking about with the new version of Android Auto.
The website was slim on details and there were virtually no screenshots.. just generalized statements. No reviews either.
Any help you can give with these units is appreciated. Don't want to plunk down $60 if it doesn't work.
Thanks.
