Hello,
I'm preparing to mount the Nexus 7 LTE 2013 tablet in the Lexus IS 200 car.
I have already collected most of the parts but I have a big dilemma about connecting the power supply to the car. Namely, there are 2 variants:
Variant 1:
- removing the battery from the tablet due to winter / summer weather conditions and connecting it via a step down converter e.g. to a battery
for this I would like to mount a delay relay module for e.g. 30 minutes after switching off the ignition so that the tablet does not turn off after each key removal when refueling. Can any fuse be used for this? Will the converter 12v> 5v e.g. 3A embrace it?
- For this I would like to mount a USB HUB and a rear view camera and possibly a place for some other devices. From what I read on the internet, USB HUB may not be able to power from the tablet via the Y OTG cable and therefore I have another dilemma whether to lead a separate power source to it
Variant 2:
-Leave the battery and stock up on two USB chargers with some specific parameters to do so charging the tablet and a separate power supply from the second USB HUB charger. The only question is whether the tablet's power consumption will not be so great that the charger can keep charging it,
I would prefer to use the first option. Attached I add a diagram that I have drawn more or less. I am not an advanced electrician, therefore I ask for advice or any corrections. Thank you very much in advance
