So since I couldn't find anyone that has done a tablet install on their Polo, I took the liberty of doing it myself.
Went to the breakers and got another panel where the air vents and head unit sit. I taped off the head unit opening to the right size for the 7inch tabet (it was slightly bigger than the hole), and went at it with a Dremel. I drilled out two considerable large holes on the side of the panel to accommodate the Aux and Power cables. I then took out the whole centre console and made a new place for the headunit (since it wouldn't fit in the glovebox). I used that random hole above the aircon controls for the headunit, making it slightly bigger with the Dremel. I then hooked everything up and this was the result:
The install is still not 100% complete and theres still a few bugs I have to work out

Re: 6N2 Tablet Install
Certainly different. Could work though
Ideally, youd need to hide the radio, and have music coming from the tablet into an 'aux' input on the radio so it can be hidden away, but still work.

Re: 6N2 Tablet Install
I was gonna mount the head unit in the glove box, but when I took it out I realized there's not much space behind the back walls of the glove box. I also thought about putting the headunit under the front passenger seat, but too many wires to extend and run there
