So after a little digging I found an actually decent dual boot tablet (https://www.geekbuying.com/item/PIPO-W2 ... 06482.html) (Windows 10/Android) That with a microUSB OTG dongle and 128GB TF card accepts both the RR and ECUFlash installs, and the Tactrix. Bluetooth OBDII reader and Torque Pro work too on the android side. Working on rooting it and messing with the boot animation now but, I digress. So now I can have this bad boy in my dash and not need the laptop. Extra gauges to watch, logging, and on the fly map uploads so a win there.

My question is...before I buy it....USB OTG Hubs....will it work? I would LOOOVE it if I could run my AEM Wideband Serial to USB AAAAAND The Tactrix but I have concerns over conflict and hubs. Anyone had any luck logging with both via a hub? So far the tablets only drawback is its single USB port.

You can get a sabrent 7 port USB 3.0 hub for under $40 that physically fits into the ash tray spot. Less if you can find a Fry's or similar.

https://www.sabrent.com/product/HB-U930/9-port-usb-3-0-hub-2-charging-ports-12v4a-power-adapter/

5 USB 3.0, Type A in the back
1 USB 3.0, Type B in the back (connect to OTG cable and then to tablet)
2 USB 3.0, Type A in the front
2 USB 5v 2.4 Amp Type A charging ports in the front

each port has it's own overcurrent protection, and the unit comes with the Type B to Type A male that you would need for the OTG Type A female to MicroUSB male.

Yes it works fine with windows and Android.

Why don't you consider the BtSsm app it's really good for android.

Probably overkill, Torque Pro seems fine on the android side. I like the track recorder and overlay and features but its really just so I can pick a few more things to monitor..I didnt see a whole lot different I needed with the other app. It's likely going to stay in windows most of the time anyway tbh

12v so I assume I could just hardwire it to my accessory line?

Speaking of tablets in cars...whats the best way to get it on when I start the car, off when I shut the car off? The power button (or anything besides the touch screen) will be inaccessible in the dash.
