Default netbook/laptop mount

has anyone modified a mount or seen a mount that is for this purpose? i want to be able to plug a netbook or a laptop into kpro and have it mounted inside the car, so that i can watch all the kmanager features/the gauges that i made while driving

this won't be used for anything other than reading/displaying the kpro information

I've been thinking about this too. I've got one of these Samsung UMPC's

You can get goosneck mounts that mount on the floor, but I think thats too much. I'm kinda thinking having it perminantly mounted may be too much. I may just get velcro so I can swap it with my GPS shown below:


What I really need is a nice custom AEMPro Dash to run with it.

If you want I did find a nice site that sells DC laptop adapters for like $40...not too bad.

yea I didn't want it to be "permanently" mounted, if I could take it out when parking by undoing a couple screws or something, that'd be awesome

Might check here: http://www.ram-mount.com/NewProducts/seatm...06/Default.aspx
Mounts to the pass seat, without tools or drilling. Seems to be non-evasive and does not require drilling. If your concerned with marring your seat, you could put a towel between it and the seat. Looks to be $68 for the mount, then something like $7 for a ball mount, then probably more for the actual mount that holds the laptop. I like how they have a "pick your parts" ala cart, instead of a full kit with extras you may not need. More of a "system" than a "kit".
