I just finished my controller mod this evening. If you scroll down on the page in the link you can watch the how to video. I watched it as I did the mod and went smoothly. Tomorrow is the test.
hmmm. Interesting. I found a phone holder that spread wide enough for a 7" tablet at the dollar store. It's got the same ball mount system as the current set up. Trying to see if I can find something similar for the 10.1" tablet
