    The Pi has built-in wifi, and thanks to create_ap, essentially acts like your home wifi router (only, the majority of the time without an Internet connection). The tablets join the wifi network served by the Pi which allows the tablets to connect to the Pi's network file share to play movies and music from the HD.

    The only time the tablets have an actual Internet connection is when I attach another USB wifi dongle (configured for my home wifi connection) to the Pi which enables routing the tablets' traffic through my home connection.

    Thank you! Makes sense now haha so when ur parked at home and you plug in ur configured wifi dongle, are you able to transfer files onto the HD wirelessly without having to remove it from the truck anytime you want to add a movie or something?

    Those rims look great! I like how they go with ur taco's color. I myself am planning on getting the SR8 in gun metal to go with my magnetic grey color.

    Did you soak them with some blaster first? If not, hit the a couple times a day for a couple days and then give it a shot.

    Exactly! I can transfer everything wirelessly when I hook up the 2nd dongle. Or I can remove the whole thing and hard wire it in my house since the only connection in the truck is Velcro and a single USB port. I also have the 2nd dongle configured for my phone's hotspot for the occasional app install on the road.

    Sometimes I get bored and like to mess around with things like that, that's why all the questions, I'm just thinking I could maybe wire something up like this to wirelessly put music on a HD mounted in my truck and have it connected to my HU. yes I know I could just bring the HD inside but its fun to tinker with things like that.

    Something like a HDD with Wifi might work for your needs: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JSQV44S

    I went with the full Pi so both kids can play movies at the same time. I also plan on hooking up my bluetooth OBDii adapter to the Pi for data logging... might even add a touchscreen display at some point.

    I do not have one of these and have no first hand experience. Looks like it's powered via USB only. I wouldn't try to power it with anything below 5v 2A since spinny hard drives take quite a bit of power to spin up from standstill.

    Prolly been said before, but..... WD-40 is not a penetrant.

    As long as you're open to alternatives though.... check this out !
