My friend had put his Powerbook G4 in the back of the car truck and use the OEM Navigation system as the screen and use bluetooth phone or mouse to control the Tibook.

These photos are pretty old now...he use newer Sony/Erc phone and better DA converter.

The computer can actually use his bluetooth phone to go online and surf. Pretty cool.

I think he bought those laptop tray from a company who made server racks. The whole thing is made of Aluminum and looks great with TiBook. The laptop tray is for server rack that use laptop to control the servers. I can ask my friend if you are interested. You can also lock the tray so it won't slide out and get stolen by dealer service.

Sorry, my question was for Alezone. I was wondering what stand he uses to have his Powerbook at the centre console.
