What is your electronics ####pit setup?

I just found companies panavise and proclip. Looks exactly like the solution for mounting stuff. They make clips for tractor brands too! Panavise makes mounts that are mounted behind trim, no suction cups or magnets. Proclip makes mounts that clip into place on the trim of the dash. They use the amps mount plate system. Can mount your phone in a variety of methods or a gps, even tablets.

 

Thank you. I will check them out.

 

I have heard of them but find the prices prohibitive. I know I got my money's worth out of that $30 generic tablet mount, but it still stings me that I didn't find a cheaper option. I'm the sort of person that would fabricate a mount rather than but one, but being OTR and lacking tools and materials means that isn't a viable option.

 

First pic shows GPS mounted on driver door.

Second pic shows:
Tire monitor
Phone
Galaxy CB
Qualcomm
Hotspot
10" tablet for Google traffic

Also you can see a Bestpass on the windshield, and there is also a Prepass outside the photo, directly above the Bestpass at the top of the windshield, but it's only like 1/4 the size of the bestpass.

The tablet and Qualcomm are both mounted with RAM mounts. Qualcom came with one RAM and you can get extra ones on ebay to fit many different devices.

The CB dash mount came with the truck. I bought a couple short pieces of black flextube, like a plastic conduit, to hide the wires in so it doesn't look so messy from outside the truck.

The tire monitor, phone and hotspot are mounted with either Scotch outdoor mounts, similar to velcro but stronger, bought off the clearance shelf at Office Depot or Officemax (can't remember which), or with an even better and much more expensive velcro-like stuff called 3M dual-lock. The bestpass came with a single use of dual-lock, but when I asked bestpass for another set because I wanted to reposition the bestpass, they sent me like a whole huge handful - basically a lifetime supply! Score!

 

eh i have a cobra 29 strapped to the dash. that's the extent of my electronics.

 

LOL. I have a spare in the truck.

 

Nice set-up @slow.rider. What gps are you using or is that a phone app based gps?

 

iPhone 7+ for Google Maps attached to face of dash board, Big Garmin Dezl directly to the right mounted with suction cup to top of dash, 40 S&W in shoulder rig on passenger seat armrest, Rand McNally map in passenger seat pocket, just incase.

 

Thanks man. GPS is 7" Garmin Dezl, I think the 770. Still the current model I think. Got it on eBay $285 factory refurbished with warranty when they were retailing at $380 - $420 new.

 

Lord have mercy I'm only in my 20's and all I have is a cb and satellite radio how do you Keep up with all that other crap and can you find your way across the Parkin lot without it?
