I wonder what our sheriffs and deputies would make of a Passport/Escort GPS navigator that also has a laser/radar detection function which is not obvious to the uninitiated. It can be said to be a WiFi connection locator.

What about windscreen wipers?

I have almost exactly the same setup except i use the 3 suction cap mount on the windscreen, takes about 30 seconds to put on and take off, works great.

One question, what are the little white tabs on yours, it looks like strips of foam? mine doesnt have this, is this to fit a ipad2? i have used ipad 1, 2 and 3 in mine, the craddle is designed for a ipad1 so with the thinner ipad2 and 3 i have had to use some soft material behind them to pack them out to stop them moving in the craddle.

I installed a car pc which runs windows XP and mounted the 10.4" touch screen in dash. Doesn't limit the drivers view except a bit on the left front. The software does not allow access to Windows whilst the vehicle is moving.

Guess I shouldn't have used a flash either!!
