Title: 7" tablet in the dash storage bin pics
Post by: Rockingdad on September 2, 2016, 20:56
Evening all,

Has anyone got a pic of a 7" tablet sitting under the lid of the dash storage bin? Thinking about making a mounting system for a second screen there that will fold back and under the lid when not in use.

Thanks

RockingDad

My 5" sat nav fits in there without any fixings. I had a fairly brisk drive round Dorset with Topdownman a couple of weeks ago and it didn't move once! Gravity was a wonderful invention   s:D :D s:D

It's a bit dark, but it fits perfect and wedges in great.(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160902/e8f1d50149bf359fd17a1bd6cb88a460.jpg)

I run torque pro from that tablet- it's useful for diagnosis but you kinda get bored after a while!

Had the Lenovo (21" touch screen windows pc) hooked up to monitor gauges for the first start up of the k-swap.  It was annoyingly to big and in the way.

Has that Tesla sort of look to it.

Had my iPad mini set up like this at first but now have it on special mounts alongside the iPhone and forward facing camera. These are detachable and also bring the set up lower down in the line of sight. Only tend to use the set up with OS maps downloaded to the ipad to find new routes to drive  s:D :D s:D
