I’m working on figuring out a way to use an Android device and have it come on and off with the key switch. I have no clue how to go about this. Any suggestions? I think I have found a way to make it autostart a certain app namely IQuad of course so that part I can work with.... hopefully within a month I can afford a Qaud! 

The more time they spend posting here the less time they have with r&d.

 

 

I am sure when they have an update they will post it.

From what I understand is @Quadzilla_Stephen is no longer there it just @Quadzilla Power by himself working the shop. He's short the help and expect it to take time to get to the next step. Just gotta hang in there.

Well Sign me up.  I bought a Clamp from Amazon and am moving mine up to the dash.  I just put a Joying Stereo Head in with a detachable screen and it fit nicer than I thought.  So now I don't want to run the IQuad through the stereo head, as the Bluetooth for the phone is primary goal. 

 

I wish I could change the IQuad screen a little, I'd like the numbers in white and the borders in Blue.  Like Mike said it's hard to read.  My glasses are transion and darken while driving. Hard to read the Samsung Display.  I'll get a shot of the new stereo and Samsung tomorrow.

O.K.  So I bought a Joying with an 8" screen.  The main goal was Bluetooth.  Unfortunately it only handles one Bluetooth at a time.  So I added the Samsung TabElite.  The Black Samsung in the previous photo was a Sprint device and it seemed to spend all it's time trying to connect to Sprint.  This Tab was a straight tablet and not connected to a wireless service, much smoother, plus I can use a Micro SD to transfer tunes.

So it took 3 clamp holders to find a spring loaded one that clamps in the middle of the tablet.  I did have to lace the holder to the dash to keep it from bouncing all over the place, and to get the angle correct so I can see it from the seat.  I like it so far.   I am really liking this Quadzilla V2!!

Hmmm... Nice stereo. Might have to look into that Joying 8 inch looks like it fits good.

Yes I took about a month to find one.  This has a detachable faces and is connected with a Ribbon cable.  The vertical position is adjustable up or down in 1/2 increments.  Might be 1/4 I just left it centered as it didn't foul my vents.  The only caveat is that the locks for the ribbon cable are along for the ride.  I thought that the unit was DOA, turns out that the ribbon cable has to pushed further in that the locks will push it.  I have .090 to .125 between the lock and the back of the cable.  Bluetooth works great now to figure out all the rest of the crap that it does.  It does support Android Auto Play.  The other thing that I need to figure out is how to dim the screen with the dash lights.  I assume that there is a wire that controlled the factory Radio lights?  I need to see what to do to interface with that.  8" screen is bright at night!!!

Any news on release date?

Ez Lynk has a pretty good monitor from what I understand, comes with a dash cam too. PDD sells them for ~$300.

That's just a phone with a new case on it.

 

The whole point is: we don't want another "wireless/bluetooth" monitor. We want wired. I want a monitor that is hard wired into the adrenaline box and pulls power either from the adrenaline, or another 12v tap. the bluetooth works fine when it's actually connected, but the problem is getting it connected reliably. sometimes mine connects right away, but majority of the time it fails to connect and gotta wait a couple mins or make it scan for nearby bluetooth devices before connection will be successful. pain in the arse and can easily be avoided 100% by using a wired connection.

Do you have Android or Apple? I have a Pixel 3 and it connects 100% of the time, no problems at all.

I use an old Samsung Galaxy S4 I set up to boot up when I start the truck automatically, and it auto-launches the quadzilla app, and it auto-shuts down when I turn the key off. I leave it in the truck 24/7.

Fantastic idea! Didn't know you could set one up to do that!

I’m also wanting a hardwired screen.
