Mounting very small notebook in 100 Series TD . Any ideas appreciated .

Willem ,

No mate , cannot picture yours at all . Can the driver work it , or is it set up for the navigator .

I am usually flying solo , so I need to see and do all from the pilots seat .

Thanks ,

Willie .

The desktop can be useful for the driver or navigator

What I have done is to make a desk type rest out from the centre section of the dashboard. I used MDF to make an upright which I attached to screws already part of the Centre Console. Then I fitted a MDF tabletop to the upright which I tek screwed to the top of the dash(you don't have to be so brutal tho...lol). My GPS and laptop rest on the desk and I have easy visual access to the screens. I made the upright in cut-away form so that gear changes would not interefe with it. The upright also holds the Mobile Phone and UHF Microphone. The desk is sturdy and has proved its worth on all my 2006 excursions. I colour coded the desk to blend in with the cabin colours

The Nissan cabin set-up is a lot different to the Toyota set-up. Dont know if the concept will work in 100 series. But it is worth thinking about.

Cheers

Thanks Phil .

Hi Stuart ,

Ideally I would like it sitting above the gear lever looking straight at me .

I don't want to remote mount it , as I bought this very small unit so I would not have to .

Thanks ,

Willie,

I have built my own in car PC for under a nine hundred bucks so far including a 15.4" drop down screen for the kids in the back.

It is currently rigged up and running in the fourby and I am waiting for my 8" XGA touchscreen for the front. When it arrives I will be fabricating a custom fibreglass housing that resides ontop of the dash above the stereo. It will be able to swivel and tilt.

The system will do everything I can think of

GPS, DVD Playing, DVD Burning, Wireless Internet, Wireless LAN, TV, Camera Cards Slots, Phone Control, Music Storage and Library, Multiple Monitors etc, etc.

I can manufacture a bracket to suit your setup if you have in mind the location you would like to mount your laptop.

Regards

Stuart
