Anyone made stands or mounts for a lap top in their vehicles? And are there chargers made to charge a laptop with the cig lighter accessory?

Not a laptop mount , but saw a Guy build one out of some square tubing, did a cell phone holder and some Velcro for the V2 though .

I made the tray out of sheet aluminum, I panned braked and tig'd it up. The mounting plate from Ram mount was welded on the bottom. I made 2 spring loaded clamps to hold the laptop on the tray. I also contact cemented 1/32 thick rubber sheeting on the outside of the tray and the 4 locating tabs. I knew if I painted it that it would end up all scratched.
The 2 balls are mounted on the floor boards. If you remove the mounts you don't notice them.
The ball style mount allows the V2 to roll forward out of the way if their is a passanger in the seat.
The V2 stays in the car. I just mount the laptop for tuning etc.

Sure blocks alot of your windshield view. I guess its just a pet pevee of mine I can't stand suction cups and stuff blocking my windshield. What is it though? It looks like a real small sony PC. But how is it connected to the V2 there are no wires?

It's a Sony UX280P

The USB is not connected in the pic.
It doesn't block too much IMO and I like to be able to watch AFR without looking away from the road. :)

That's why I would love to have a HUD I could put a dashboard like display on and project it on to the wind screen.
