Hi! I'm looking for a good tablet, i will use it in my jeep for gps navigation and entertainment in the camper. I was looking at the s6 but in the spect there no 3.5 jack! Since i will use this in the jeep i would like to be able to plug the audio out and charging at the same times! Any recommendation? Thanks . If you have a bette tablet I mind for me ahead but no ipad!! Hahaha thanks

The Tab S4 has a headphone jack I believe. You can get em fairly cheap too these days.

Any time I've seen this question pop up before, it seems those dual use adapters are not recommended due to overheating concerns. If you do decide to get a tablet without a headphone jack, then I'd suggest a Bluetooth adaptor that plugs into the aux input in the vehicle.

I definitely wouldn't recommend those dual adapters either. Samsung even put out a warning not to use them b/c of overheating issues.

Do you guys think the s6 is a good choice for my application? With a bluetooth adaptor?

For me a tablet would be too large logistically for me to use as a gps in my car, but I'm unsure of your layout so I can't say whether or not it would work for you.
