Lap Top Mount
 
I was thinking about getting a rack or mount system for my PC since I use it for Navigation.

Any suggestions?

:slap: Why would you need a whole PC for navigation?? All you need is a Nav unit and ONE, yes 1, DVD/CD.

There are multiple aftermarket Nav units...which are proven and wouldn't require you to start wiring/mounting a laptop into the car.

Why PC Nav
 
I have a great Laptop PC with 15 inch screen.

Using N Route on it and works well.

I was just looking for nice way to mount my PC.

Then you would be looking for a mounting location in the front of the car, near the driver. Not sure that would be possible, or street legal.

Thats what I call a USELESS MOD!
I have the oem Sat-Nav system which is more practical than my great 17" laptop.

Because maybe he doesn't wanna waste on $2000 on BMW's nav. It's dismal compared to Japanese automakers' systems.

Considering he has already invested in a laptop beforehand, it would be cheaper that way. Plus he would be able to connect to the internet at times (scout for open LANs under an apartment building).

Laptop vs OEM Nav is a no-brainer!

Didn't say he needed BMW's Nav system......

Yes I want to mount near the driver, like a cop car. I would think that its legal, no different than looking at a Nav unit.

if your laptop has video out you can install a very small lcd monitor like 7 inch and put your laptop under the seat, and if you want to take it further you can buy a touch screen monitor, that way you can keep the big laptop hiden.

Is that a worthless mod or a "worth mod"?
