My Touch Screen Setup for Honda Talon with Backup Camera, Music Control, Maps, MPH and more!!!

[Reaction Offroad UTV]

Hey all,

I have been on a search for the best way to seamlessly incorporate a tablet into the Talon dash and I think I finally have everything set up how I want it. You don't have to relocate anything and you can use this to control your Bluetooth speakers, cameras, run your off-road maps and it gives you MPH from satellite connection, etc. Check out my video for an overview. Also, check out the second video on my YouTube page - SXS Adventures - on how to set up a split screen setup pretty easily so you can run Maps and Backup Cam at the same time. This is on an Samsung Tab A 10.1" Android Tablet (I don't think its an option for iPads) and it also goes over how I mounted it to feel like its part of the machine. I am very stoked on this setup! The app costs a whopping $3.00 on the Google Play Store but it has a 30 day free trial of the FULL version so you can test it out in full to see if you like it. Well worth it! And if you only have an iPad, I would even say its worth it to buy an Android just for this setup!

And no, I don't work for any of these companies and am not promoting them. I'm just a dude trying to pass on useful info that took me a lot of trial and error to get right and I know a LOT of people have wanted something like this in their Talons!

I included the links below to the overview video, tablet mounts and even the WIFI Camera I got off of E-Bay for $21.99 (those E-Bay prices fluctuate) which works surprisingly well! The backup camera emits its own WIFI network that you connect to so a second camera would have a second WIFI network but I am working on how to get this set up with 2 and will upload a video once I do. Feel free to follow my YouTube Page if you're into it! I'm always trying to make things better on this damn money pit of a machine! 🤣

Enjoy!

Nice!
honda should make a -LE package like that - truck and trailer included.

Nice setup you have there. If you are using your winch to tie down during travel you can damage the gears in the winch that way.

"These are not magnets" 🤣 🤣

Nice setup.

6+ weeks delivery time for the cheapo camera you have an eBay link to in the video. Comes from China. Dang, that's a long wait.

Definitely not magnets haha! 🤣

I ordered the first one and got it in a week. I ordered another one for the front 4 days ago and it gets here tomorrow. Not sure why it says that?

I do hook the winch to a D-Ring but just snugly. I don't make it very tight. I also tie down each wheel. The winch is just a little bit of added safety (to me anyways).

I was turned on to this setup a few weeks ago. I have a detacated tablet for my motorhome.and use this app. I have just been messing around with it for that use also.

I actually haven't tried yet. I was glad it had the Honda one I have on there.

@SXS ADVENTURES - In your video, I see you have onX Offroad set up for navigation. When I go to choose a navigation app, that's not in the list. Can you link to navi apps that are not in the list that pops up? Have onX, OruxMaps and a few others - have not decided which one I want to use, but not all are in their list.

EDIT: I figured it out.

Oh, and it's from Russia (.ru). What could possibly go wrong? LOL

I also use an android tablet in my motorhome to interface to the OBD2 port for better access to engine instrumentation. I am going to try this launcher for that too, it will make that access a lot easier.

I use the Bluefire system on the M2 Freightliner chassis. But also have the app for levelers, slides , lighting and my fuel card. This makes it very easy to toggle through them quickly.
