This is my 2014 Ford Explorer Limited with a CF-30 Toughbook, BCD996XT, BC-RH96, Laird Technologies TRAB7603 800Mhz Antenna with a Laird Technologies GMB8BI mag mount. I also have a Spy Tech A118 Dash Camera.
My 4 interests growing up were Cars, Computers, Scanners and Stereo Systems. Now all grown up and have combined all of them together. (There are also 2 12 inch subs in the back and a 750watt amp under the drivers seat. Amp has its own wiring kit separate from the relay power coming in from the battery.)
Everything is powered off of either a ignition controlled relay with its own fused power wire coming in from the battery or the 12V AC plug on the back of the center console.
CF-30 Mounted on a Ram Laptop no drill mount. Internet is supplied via a hotspot on my phone which usually sits in the holster on the side of the laptop mount. I have a Samsung Note 4 and use SideSync to display my phone on the laptop screen. I can control my phone through the mouse or touchscreen of the laptop.
BCD996XT Located in the center console. Wires are ran through a small hole drilled on the back of the console towards the bottom and ran to under the passenger seat.
View of the Ram Laptop mount from passenger side. I have a Kensington Laptop Security Lock and Wire as a deterrent to anyone with sticky fingers.
One of two 12 volt Cigarette plugs. It is located just under the glove box. This one powers the BC-RH96 and the Dash Cam.
Extra 12 volt Cigarette plug for future use.
Spy Tech A118 Dash Cam with a 32gb flash card.
View of under the front passenger seat. Power strip is plugged into the 12 Volt AC on the rear of the center console. The Laptop power supply and the BCD996XT are plugged into the power strip. You can also see the External Speaker that is velcroed to the cup holder from the back of the center console. This works great as it gives me a place to put my drinks if they don't fit under the laptop mount.
An overview of everything from the back seat.
View from the front of the SUV where you can see the camera and the antenna. Dash cam is on the left. There is another camera that is surrounded in the dark black area for the rain sensing auto wipers and the auto headlight bright/dim.
Antenna is just a mag mount for now. I ran out of money and plan to properly mount it to the roof. It is on the right side as the wire was not that long.
