Hi All
I recently purchased a Surface Pro 4 and a dual XGPS160 bluetooth gps to run OziExplorer on. I'm still trying to tame the XGPS160 and I'll start a separate thread once I sort it out. Now I'm trying to figure out how to mount it in my 150 Prado.
I have done a search and there are several options. The RAM mounts are very nice but expensive. I've been given instructions not to alter the dash so the great in dash mount I saw somewhere is out of the question. I'm not keen on suction mounting on the Windscreen as I've had a couple of bad experiences with my phone dropping off on potholed roads.
So I'm considering a seat mounted gooseneck which I can swing it towards me when I'm driving on my own or towards my passenger when I'm not. I have seen a really nice system in an F250, but there is enough room in the cab of one of them to hold a footy Grand Final. After way too much time on line I came across this http://www.arkon.com.au/arkon/tab188l22-arkon-tablet-mount-22in-flexible-gooseneck-seat-rail-floor-mount.html
I did see in a post by Borec http://www.pradopoint.com.au/showthr...ighlight=arkon that he was considering this option. So rather than reactivate a year old post I thought I'd ask whether anyone is using an Arkon or similar seat mounted tablet holder?
many thanks
