Default Note 4 install + Automate + Google Maps

After seeing so many installs that hurt the eyes, I've decided to try and do something nice. The Samsung Note 4 is a perfect fit. The Automate software is very similar to the new Android Auto, it's a winner! I also have the Torque app, so it's easy to monitor everything.

The best thing about the Note 4 is the screen resolution, it's probably clearer than anything in the market now.

Cool. Any chance we can get a pic of the rear of the bezel? What did you use to secure the device?

Did you do a backup camera (I think it would be app controlled).

I'll try to take more pics when I get a chance, I already have it in the car and enjoying it. The automate software has lots of options, so I'm setting those up little by little. The screen resolution is the biggest plus in my opinion, I haven't seen anything on the car market that compares.

Here's one more, Google Maps-

More details on install will be nice, one issue is you've covered the power button so having 12v switched you have to figure how to power it on (there is a apk to bypass the power button fyi) and how you tie this into your existing audio / hand controls.

Looks nice and note 4 will be cheap to pickup in a couple months being 2 gens old.
