Hey this is the best video out here man! Very thorough with everything I need and how to do it!
Thank you so much for this. Exactly what I was looking for.
Bro, u made that look soooo simple. Awesome step by step. Thanks
Thanks this really help me moving forward
exactly what I was looking for!
Thank you for the vid, but now I have a question I hope you can help me with since I'm a novice. I don't know yet which tablet I'm going to use (but Christmas is close and so are the sales), but it appears everything would be the same no matter which tab you used, correct? Well the install portion anyway, of course the tabs themselves will vary.
The difference for me is that I'm going to do this in a 08 Jeep Wrangler that has the INFINITY system in it. I'm no audiophial, and the sound is ok for me at this time, so I thought about using everything on the "output from the tablet" to a "stereo isolator transformer" and into the inputs on the existing amp, but not being well versed in this and looking at pics of the amp, it appears there are two harnesses that plug into the amp. One I assume is the speaker connections, the other maybe power and audio signal inputs? Can you confirm this, and tell me if there is anything different that I should watch for, or something different I should do on this install. I figured on pulling power to the tab from the wire harness itself (thru a voltage step down) to run the power side of the tab install.
Thanks for any assist you can provide. Nice Video.
Would the 2019 galaxy tab A work the plastics? It looks the the devices bezels are smaller.
finally i received the dashboard parts along with other accessories. however i followed your instruction and still didn't work (no audio, no charging, no steering wheel controller) . lets to be clear as far as power and data (OTG) . all you to do hookup 12V step down to 5v to + -- , that will provide power and data?and i understand i may have to buy Charge and USB OTG unite Simultaneously? can you please clarify how all data and power transfer over + --?
You guys are the best
Thank you.
Hey do you reckon instead of the RCA aux cord. Do you a reckon a bluetooth stereo kit would work ?
Once Its Dashmounted (Embedded) How Do You Get To The Power Button To Turn It On/Off Should The Battery Die ???
Great video, would be cool to control volume via a
pentionmeter (knob) but still cool video
Thx !!! Helped a lot !!!!
You're welcome!
I recommend coming up with a power button for the tablet that is mounted to the dash. You might be able to rig something up without taking apart the tablet. However you could solder a couple of wires from the tablet power switch to a button.
You would have to pull the tablet apart and solder.. a simpler solution is to root the device blog.workshoptwelve.com/2019/02/16/rooting-android-for-turning-on-when-power-is-detected/
On my tablet, I usually leave it on. Then I put a power off widget... It turns off display,( it's a button on screen), doesn't power down. Then a app that allows u to double tap screen, screen turns on. I plug in charger when gets low on battery.manually..... playing music while charging brings tons of noise...when not charging it's clear. At least for me.
None of the amplifiers I can find have those ports for the wiring harness. They have those holes you put stripped cable into and screw down. Is there a specific name I need to search to get an amp that has those ports for the wiring harness???
What if I have a backup camera that I want to wire in?
Have you guys looked into the hands free deal? My order hasnt shipped yet, but im trying to put together all of the other pieces... I think i have the back up cam sorted in theory, but not implemented yet. The fm radio im going to give a shot from an RTL 2832U device i found on amazon and the "nextradio" app and test as soon as it shows up this week.
For calls: The only thing that I can wrap my head around is to buy a hands free with a push to talk... then break it,to get the board out - solder in the hang up and call button from the steering to activate it, then hide the small unit somewhere near me ( maybe in the headliner) for clear mic reception.
We don't have a built in solution for hands free. I know some of our customers have used an Apple CarPlay USB dongle
Pls respond to this. How do you connect the wires on the ac for frs?
That will all be plug and play with our climate control circuitry
What exactly is the otg cable doing for this application? I know what an otg does but for this I'm a bit lost. It's not for charging so is it just for hooking a thumb drive to it for music? So if I have a Spotify account I wouldn't need the otg?
We have electronics that allow for OTG and charge at the same time for the tablets we support in our kits. Customers use this for different reasons. Some of our kits control climate via USB, others connect relay controllers, cameras or any other Android supported accessories. Yes you can use Spotify on the tablet.
please links to the items you were talking about on amazon. The fuse and kits on your web site all the parts needed. And a car list. I have ford escort.
We do not have a kit that supports the ford escort dash.
do you have a tablet kit for a 2012 370z?
We are just about to start the project for the 370Z workshoptwelve.com/nissan-370z/
Your video is the only one that I have come across that explains everything pretty well. I am looking to integrate apple car play into this with one of those dongles. Am I able to get around not using the Aux port on the tablet and just get sound via the micro usb connection to the tablet? I would like to only worry about plugging in 1 item to the tablet.
Thank you!
The would not be possible unfortunately
Thank you! I want to add a tablet to replace the am/fm stereo in me 1993 Ford E350 Motorhome!!
Is there any way to wire subs in? You would need another source of right and left sound and remote turn on 12 v when the car turns on.
It depends on your amp setup. Some amps will also have an audio out allowing you to daisy chain your amp for your speakers to your amp for your subs. In other cases you may need to run an RCA splitter to run one source to the door speaker amp an one source to your sub amp.
Yes..I have 8 subs wired and 12 other various mids and highs .3 amps all connected to a dsp then ran up from ..I have level controller as volume knob and another to control my bass
I wish you also explained how to wire as a stand alone system (race car gutted of interior wiring)
If i have a factory amp do i need another one or i can do this with my factory.?
A factory Nissan Bose amp? If so check out our blog article blog.workshoptwelve.com/2018/11/08/nissan-bose-amplifier/
Is there any new plug and play kits? I'm looking to do this on my mazda with a galaxy tab
Right now we don't have current plans for the Mazda. However, we do have a universal horizontal double din kit, which fits in most double din vehicles. It's a floating screen similar to what you find on the Tesla Model 3. We are currently doing a website revamp and have not updated “The Shroom” (Universal double din) on our website. We can definitely send you more information and details on The Shroom.

You're so smart show me it working in the car with a phone Bluetoothed to it!
is there how to make the tablet by calling me to pick up on it
There is not a contact us link on your website?

any tips on the steering wheel controls ? not sure if there is a arduino write up for this process like the 370z guys.
Most people use a JoyCon EXR for their steering wheel controls
Workshop 12 😅 was that english?
Im starting from scratch on car I've been build and needs radio.i have 6 speakers plus subs.I want to use my cellphone instead of a tablet. I want have full control of my lows,mids,highs .Any pointers or diagrams with what i can use
Do you want to embed your phone or simply use Bluetooth?
Ether way will be fine.
Some serious patch-cord Parcheesi here for a two channel set up, I get a headache thinking of a 5.1 system.
We now have our MK1.5 electronics that are plug and play 👍 workshoptwelve.com/accessories/
what model tablet are you using in this video? anyone know?
That video was a Tab 4 10.1".. our kits now mainly support the Tab A 10.1" (2016 version)
Can you Bluetooth a rear view camera to it with the 350z?
We haven't experimented with rear view camera inputs as of yet.
@HAMMER Everything ive researched points to a device called easy cap (OTG to RCA) then the RCA to a wireless video receiver... Then on the camera side, A transmitter and FPV cam... Cam power to be hooked up to reverse light. With a wired connection, you can delete the transmitters and receivers.. after the connection made, its a question of what apps will auto open and auto close on signal acquisition and loss from the cam. If you want to geek out, you can also go the FPV quad drone route.. they have some really small form factor video transmitters/ receivers and high quality FPV cams... If youy want to get fancy, add a switch to the center console to toggle between rear and front facing cameras.
@@giralds2016 wifi
On the RCA, can we add a Bluetooth adapter to not hook up to the jack?
Yes it is possible.
Just a few questions:
1. In the video you have your own amp. If I didn't change my sound system at all, will I need to buy an amp? I have the Grand Touring Roadster 350z, so it has the sub woofer. I don't know if that changes anything.
2. If I have a sub woofer, do I need anything different than what was in the video in order to make it work.
also 3. Can I just throw all the mess of cable behind the tablet or will I need to secure it some how.
It will all depend on your car's sound system. From what I understand the 350Z Bose system can be a bit of a challenge with aftermarket head units. You may need a new amp but I can't say for sure. I would recommend finding out what people have done in some 350Z forums. Unfortunately we're not too much of experts on the specifics of each 350Z's audio configurations :)
That's up to you.. you can keep it neat and tidy with some cable ties or leave it loose.
Will the plastics fit a 2006 350z
Yes they do :)
Can this kit work on the Samsung Tab S ? for the 350z
Our 350z kit is specifically designed for the Tab A 10.1". Details on the model number can be found here 👍 workshoptwelve.com/nissan-350z/
Good evening from Athens Greece.
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO my friend.THE BEST.
Ihave a question for you.
If i live the car for many days off....and tge battary of my tabket is dead,when i switch on the tablet starts automaticaly?
If the tablet is closed...and i want to open it again how i m going to reach the power button??
Thank you anyway my friend....i wish you all the best.
@@fovelixtravel7640 in our new MK2 designs for our kits the face plate is magnetic so you can simply pop it off and access the tablet's power button, or bring the tablet inside for charging.
Only thing I’m not seeing here is volume control, how are you doing this?
With gestures czcams.com/video/g0ObRzOzhso/video.html
Will this work in a 2008 ford f250?
We do not have a kit for the ford f250 but the wiring would work in your car.
Why didn't you use a potentiometer to control the volume and if you do so , would you put it before or after the GROUND NOISE REMOVAL thingy
We typically control the volume from the tablet using two finger gestures on the screen.
Does the tablet system have an AUX input?
What kind of aux input are you thinking of?
On my wiring harness I bought to install tablet it does not have a ground cable, does that mean the ground cable in the vehicle just would ground to vehicle?
If the harness doesn't have a ground cable then you will just run your electronics ground to a chassis ground location
One more quick question I got the same boss amp for my setup on powering harness there is red for power, black for ground and orange? My question does orange wire says to head unit/radio does it need to be connected somewhere or Is that wire just not needed?
@@derekbrown4468 Orange wire is the signal to the amp to turn on. You will want to also connect orange to an accessory power source 👍
Workshop 12 got all wired up and sounds great thank you so much for the help very much appreciated!
Is this wiring harness for a Nissan 350Z?????
I believe the wiring harness in the video was for a Scion FRS
At 8:20 do you mean front positive/negative and back positive/negative?
No, I mean right and left positive and negative. There are only 2 channels so the front/rear left are wired together and the front/rear right are wired together
You do lose the FM/AM Radio however if you got the tablet setup. Even DVD's, which are old i guess by this time, but still used.
Ya, FM radio would be nice.
You guys must be millennials theirs an app for that!! Fm/am radio hahhaha
Really? Who still uses DVD's I haven't for at least 4 years.
@@vidneypopples some of us older folks have CD's and DVD's.
Is there anything I can use without that amp because I'm running 4 chanel amp in my car already and don't want my stereo.
Check out the MK1 companion kit!
workshoptwelve.com/products/shop-mk1-tablet-companion
Yes there is, our MK1 companion kit comes with a charger for the tablet and 4 port usb hub for usb accessories. workshoptwelve.com/products/shop-mk1-tablet-companion
At 3:52 you talk about a speaker harness and a power cable. These aren't listed in the materials so I'm wondering how I get those?
I just ordered almost the same amp as you except 50 watt instead of 100.
You will want to pickup an aftermarket stereo wiring harness install kit for your make/model of vehicle. Metra makes a lot of them for different cars.
Workshop 12 okay, but when I search for these they look exactly like the first harness you showed (in the packaging). Just not sure if I'm order the right thing or not.
Really appreciate the quick reply
Workshop 12 I think I found a speaker harness but not sure about the "power harness"
What vehicle do you have? I can find you a link to the proper harness.
Workshop 12 2004 Honda Accord LX Sedan.
Just to be clear. I've already ordered the first harness that you show in the beginning. If the kit you find me includes that already oh well I'll have two 😁.
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this
Naaah much simpler solutions than all this wiring craziness available.
The whole point is avoiding having to stick with the stock head unit or having to go with a aftermarket head unit you may not like. Why not create a custom one with a tablet you like? Not to mention head units ain’t cheap
@@IntelliPocalypse the return on investment on this just doesn't make sense. Head units nowadays aren't that expensive either. The amount of time and energy spent doing this is surely not better than getting a ready made solution.
I have two more questions.....
I have a bmw e36 coupe 1997 and i dont have a lot of space for tablet and i wiil put a xiaomi Redminote 7 smartphone.
All the wiring is the same??
Also can i connect a mp3 usb port for playing music to this wiring ??
Thanks again.
Alsothe share the links of the products ....i open an comment below,i press the link but ERROR 404.....please help.
It's going to depend on your smartphone's capability. On a bunch of Samsung models they allow charge and USB accessory at the same time on their micro-USB port. Most other phones/tablets do not. Yes, ou can connect a USB stick that has MP3's on it via this method.
@@WorkshoptwelveConnect the Xiaomi Redmi note 7 has a type c charger
My car have 4 speakers i need a four channel amplifier???
Can you send me the link of the amp because all the four channel amplifiers are HUGE....it cant feet almost anywhere..
@@fovelixtravel7640 running accessory and charge on a USB-C device is a bit more involved. We are working in some circuitry in our kits to handle it. You can also look at LAVA to see what options they have for USB-C
How would you do this with a sub?
You'll likely find this article we wrote on the topic 👍 support.workshoptwelve.com/portal/kb/articles/using-an-amp-and-subs-with-your-brainiac-install
So i could also just use my android phone directly instead of an additional tablet?
Yes you could.
how can you wire a 4 channel amp when theres only 1 aux?
Audio is only 2 channels. You can run that to a 4 channel amp where you would then individually tune each channel on the amp
Que pasa si con el kit le quiero agregar un sistema de sonido con amplificador y entra auxiliar y Bluetooth? Cómo le hago
Hay un cable amplificador dedicado en el arnés para conectar su sistema de sonido. Sin embargo, el kit no es compatible con bluetooth.
Just get a good equalizer with volume control. Turn the tablet all the way up before installing. Hook aux to RCA to equalizer.
Bingo the way you just explained it..all this wiring is craziness.
I want the purchase link please
workshoptwelve.com/kits/
Can I still use the control buttons on the steering wheel?
You would use a Joycon EXR to program the steering wheel controls to perform android functions.
There might be a batch script you can run to have the tablet off when no power is going to it and have the tablet cut on when there’s power going to it. That way you can remove the battery. That’s a solution for people making this more of a permanent installation instead of taking the tablet out every time. I don’t know about long term use when a battery is installed while this thing is plugged in all the time in the dash as the battery will eventually degrade
Can you make the fitting for an iPad??
We only have kits that fit the Samsung tablets we list on our website
does it work with ipad as well? or I need to get different wiring?
It would be similar wiring for an iPad. They can be tricky to make work well in a vehicle.
anyway maybe can help me with the wiring? and what need to get?
@@melaniky4966 you will need the same things in the video, just a lightning connector instead of a micro USB
Thank you :)
hi looking for the links for the parts
Unfortunately we no longer have the link for the parts. :(
Are you still making these

How do you control the speakers volume ?i did this but my speakers are always buzzing
Also what would be the best way to go if my car already has an amplifier ?
If you are doing your own wiring I would recommend an inline filter from the tablet to the amplifier, or a power filter to clean the electrical supply to the tablet
Workshop 12 thanks you ,my problem is even without the tablet being plugged when the amp is one the speakers have sound
@@rogelio7524 you can add a electric supply filter going to your amp as well. It could simply be noise on your electrical system

Would it be easier to just conect your tablet via Bluetooth?
You can definitely connect your tablet to a Bluetooth dongle, but you would still need our MK1 companion kit or Mk1.7 electronics to use any USB accessories like Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. workshoptwelve.com/accessories/
Couldnt it just be left plugged in all the time?
Even from dead to full charge wouldnt kill the car battery
No, it would fry the tablet battery. Learned that the hard way.
Can we see reverse camera visuals on it?
We're working towards a solution for a reverse camera using a USB accessory. We'll be sharing our progress .
Please tag me when updates are available
@@WorkshoptwelveConnect any updates on the reverse camera?
@@nanasaka4950 No updates yet on the reverse camera
@@WorkshoptwelveConnect how about receiving calls via bluetooth, how do you handle that?
and does this work for ipad ?
Unfortunately, our electronics and app are only supported by select android tablets
What type of tablet is that???
That was an older Micro-USB Samsung Tab 4. Typically the tablets that we use now are equipped with USB-C
could i just use a 12v cigarette lighter to charge my tablet ? and run wires to the stock amp?
You will need a 12v to 5v step down to charge the tablet. What is the stock amp that you're referring to?
@@WorkshoptwelveConnect im not sure. But its a 2000 ls400. I still want all the rear subs to work and have the least amount of wiring. I know i would need a converter for audio but I would like to just have the tablet go straight to the amp and why would i have to step down to 5v? It charges my phone just fine.
@@camerondavis9160 it depends on what you are using to charge your phone and if you want to embed the tablet in the dash or not. If you want a perminent install with hidden wires then I suggest a step down converter run off your accessory power vs a standard car charger. Also, some lighter connections have constant powered even when the car is off. Depending on the OEM amp you may be able to run wires directly to it, but it depends on what you have. I.e most Bose amps need a special kind of audio DAC feed vs aftermarket that just take a simple RCA connection
@@WorkshoptwelveConnect you have been really helpful. I am making a doc it will be removable for the sake of the tablet. And i would only plug it in to charge when needed. Im not sure if the little adapter counts as a step down. But i just need to know what all i need to get audio from the tablet to the factory amp. Because i want to utilise all of the speakers and keep things as oem as possible
@@camerondavis9160 yes, a lighter charger works as a step down. You will have to see what your factory amp takes as an input. If it takes RCA connections then you can just get a 3.5mm headphone jack to RCA cable

Why am I just now finding this. CZcams, you have failed me.
Is there anyway you could do a similar video for the iPad mini 4? I’m taking the radio off and replacing everything with the iPad mini for my ford Bronco. Thanks
Generally speaking it should be the same other than it's an apple USB cable instead of the micro USB
Use bluetooth accessories
This amount of wires in this ridiculous
Seems way overly complicated you should have a whole kit that swaps the tablet in as plug n play
We do! Check out the MK1.7 Electronics on our website.

@@WorkshoptwelveConnect what is the mk1 companion?, looking on your website and seeing the different options for the mk2 plastics,
The Mk1 companion kit is a usb hub with a wire to charge your tablet. If you wanted to add a usb hub to your Mk2 electronics by kenwood
It wont work on a hot country. That battery will explode for sure.
We design our MK2 kits so that the tablet is easily removed from the vehicle in the case of extreme conditions ( hot or cold)
No navigation no steering wheel controls no mic no on the phone Bluetooth no voice command and no rear view camera???
The decision between an Android stereo head unit or a tablet in your dash depends on what you're looking for. Steering wheel controls can be accomplished with a JoyCon EXR, backup camera can be accomplished through a USB to video link, and we are working with a Bluetooth dongle to try and bring A2DP phone support. But it is a tablet, it does what a tablet does :)
Workshop 12 so the plastic face plate won't fit a 350z that comes with the navigation system ? Even if I remove it ?
@@jesse0M the issue with the navigation center waterfall is that there is a little "hood" at the top. If you replace the center waterfall piece with a non-Navigation one everything will fit.
