Lego XPERIA Cuddle (not Craddle, just a Craddle WannaBe)

What I found
Lego X1 Craddles WannaBe
n.b: (before read) If it seems useless, kiddo, trash and so on, yeap, just leave it… ;-)
Months ago, I read a thread in XperiaX1.net talking about unavailable orginal Xperia series’ craddle (probably happens in X1 only) but there is a model sold in eBay but it looks so ugly in potrait (Maybe it’s just my opinion) and because I loved playing lego and skilled when I was in primary (fortunately, I still save the Lego till I’m in college now), I’m planning to recycle some of lego model that I’ve made in primary to make a craddle for my X1, maybe I named it as X1 cuddle

ps: I wish it's legal to crop the 'Lego' logo and
This is the most simplest cuddle which is inspired by my Satio’s Video Stand.
Actually, I have calculated and experiment a little for this lego’s angel wether it’s strong enough to hold my X1. It works and I can browse comfortably and even watch a Movie better.
I also make the lego constructed reversely and sticked some silicon glue in each corner of this cudle to prevent (or at least minimize) my X1 from scartch.
For charging, it works better after I replace the ‘clumsy’ orginal X1 USB cable, or reposition the X1 to 90° (not 270°).
But since I’m a med-student not an engineering, maybe the construction is far from perfect. Hmmm, maybe next time when I get holiday, I will make the cuddle from other materials that are more easy –formed, like fibreglass.
Thank you for reading.

nice, mine is just a twisted coat hanger and rubber bands, lol... for real.

here is my setup although I don't keep my 70 in my car anymore. Was getting to complicated tethering to my phone every time I got in and out plus I never wanted to leave it in the car. Too much eye candy for some crackhead to smash the window for it. The window costs more than the 70

Velcro + Archos 70 = Android Dashboard
Here's my setup:
Thanks to Velcro for making this possible.
Bonus: my tC's center piece is perfectly 7" lol. (behind it is the Radio/CD player)

Velcro is a really good idea. And the final result is very nice

Very cool ideas
If you buy a obd2 reader you can see the speed and the acceleration in the archos and it that's be very cool.

No pics right now but have been using the Rocketfish GPS windshield mount. Working great for me.

I was wondering if anyone has found an actual mount? I have a arkon mount in my dash cubby on my Subaru Legacy for my GPS. Thought it'd be nice to be able to mount my Archos there when I'm not using the GPS.

I just made one my self with some rubber =) Works pretty well =) but I like your more =).

If a guy called Droidslave tells he made his with rubber.....

[REVIEW} for My Newly Bought Tablet Mount

I love this monitor mount! It was surprisingly easy to assemble and install, I took my time and it probably was up and in use within an hour (that includes the time it took me to clear off my desk too).

The arms are adjustable, and you can tweak the settings to either lock the monitors in place, or balance them so that you can raise/lower them on the fly. The base of the monitor mount has plug ports that you can use, and the arms have built in cord tamers (for the monitors). The whole assembly attaches to your desk by either clamp or bolt, depending on your preference. I opted for the clamp method. And since I have a glass desktop, I scrounged around to find two pieces of wood shelving for the clamp to grab (help disperse the weight and make this a feasible attachment).
The end product is very nice. With my desk setup the way I have now, I can use it as a standing workstation. The only drawback of the monitor arm that I've found? When you have the monitors side by side in landscape position, the arms can't be flush against the wall. If I want monitors flush against the wall, I need to use one of my monitors in landscape, the other in vertical. No big deal.
This will be really nice, because when I am tired of using my workstation as a standing desk, I can just pull the monitors out and down before pulling up a chair. Then I would be able to use the monitors side by side in landscape, since I'd probably want them a bit closer.
And, I just thought of this, but if you have touch screens, this mounting arm would be even more AWESOME!!!!!

Android 5.1.1 Eonon GA6201F (BMW E39) - Best way to add 2nd Screen for Media Control?

Hey all! Love the forum, especially all of the people helping others out in a professional and timely manner.
So, I have an older Android 5.1.1 unit made by Eonon for my BMW E39 (2003 530i) and my goal is to install a rear passenger control system, similar to what modern luxury cars have today (where the rear passenger has control over JUST the media functions of the headunit). Ideally, it would be awesome if I could attach a small LCD monitor in the armrest that's capacitive touch that ONLY has a display for the radio controls (no matter what the front headunit is displaying), but I do not think that is possible.
I was thinking of installing a small 4" - 5" monitor in the rear armrest that duplicates the front headunit output (just connect it to one of the video out lines?) and add a bluetooth controller in the back as well? Would this work and what monitors and media controllers would you guys recommend? Most of the controllers I've seen are cheaply made or are just remote controllers that look really tacky in the back of a car. Ideally, I'm thinking of something along the lines of the Parrot Asteroid Mini controller.

Does something like that exist for controlling Android Headunits? I believe that the Parrot contoller is propriety to Parrot systems. I'm assuming with my older headunit that you can't simply install a capacitive screen that controls the headunit from the rear (I guess this would be more ideal).
Finally, is there a way for me to update the Eonon 5.1.1 Android unit? Since it's tailored for my BMW somewhat, I don't think that's easily done, but just thought to ask.
Thank you all!

Carlinkit CarPlay Ai Box disassembly?

Anyone ever open one of these up? Non-destructively, of course. With summer coming up I'd like to try to 3d print a new enclosure for it to improve heat dissipation and possibly pop some heatsinks on important bits. I'm assuming there are screws under the rubber pads on the bottom, but I don't have access to it right now and thought I'd see if anyone has opened one up before... Thanks!

As a follow up, small screw under each of the 4 pads on the bottom. Antennas are connected to top part of case via pogo pins.

Did you manage to creat 3d print to improve the cooling system? I have the same model EAU and i have big issue with overheating (91.8 °C was maximum) i have a lot of reboots... As someone answered above, the antennas are connected to the top cover using spring pins, so the back holds the front end in place to connect to the antennas. I was thinking that we could mount a 40mm fan on the back of the equipment, having a 3d printed case
