the road?
-
I prefer my CID and a clear dash personally.
-
I think the Police would have something to say in the UK regards obstruction in the windcreen with all those gadgets.
-
The rear end of the car/van/lorry/motorcycle in front getting ever closer as im desperately breaking..... ;D
-
Laser detector very useful ;D
-
im suprised the rear view mirror hasnt slid/snapped off lol!
-
Ahhhh clever comments, just what I was expecting....
well all the stuff is attached to the glass and I usually take the Gtech out and leave the GPS only on there for directions... also if you look down to the right side of the gauge cluster I have a suction cup holder there and I sometimes move my GPS there.
Also non of the stuff blocks the driver view of the road, they are just a bit higher then the stuff you need to see, it just seems that way because I was holding the camera up high enough so that I dont get a glare off their screens... perhaps I will take some better pictures...
Thanks

I don't know about over there in the States but here all that equipment in the car makes a very attractive target to thieves. :(
If they can even see sucker marks on the glass they think there is a good chance of the equipment being hidden and they break your glass to have a look! :o :o >:(

Actually - he's not :-X
As long as nothing serious had happened as an obvious result, i'm not sure the Police would do anything other than words of advice re. the gadegets, to be honest...

Still the Police in the UK would have a field day with you, especially if you said what I highlighligheted.
Thier concern would turn to children and OAP's stepping off the pavement.
The attitude over here is the windscreen should stay un obstructed. The rear nirror is a standard item, and they would not have an issue with a single PDA/traffic unit. Other than that we have to be carefull.
Either way it is down to the individual police officer and his individual view on what he classes as safe. :y

The same here in Switzerland! When recently gone for MOT test was told off for having 2 road tax stickers (appx. 2x2inches each, was not bothered to remove the one from 2007) on the windshield. And the person there told me: only the current road tax sticker and NOTHING ELSE on the windshield!!!
-
There's more computer screens there than NASA took to the moon!
I think I'd be a little too distracted with everything there, plus, like Lizzie says, it'd get nicked

G Force meter? FFS. ::)
-
Yeah the G-force meter was fun for about a day and then it started snowing... Bummer... no traction but I got a few runs on it with what I assume to be proper vehicle weight and I got around 170hp....
Also I took that out and found a way to shift the GPS up higher to gain another inch underneath it.... and also the ScanGauge got sent in for an upgrade... and the Radar is sitting onmy pass seat... so it looks like someone has been through my car now when I get in....
The Police here also has a fit for things but often times they dont care because every other car has GPS stuff on the windshields...
I am toying around with a few other ideas about placement... The ScanGauge might go to the center inside the ashtray.... and also the Gtech will probably get mounted on the left side between the dash and the mirror cover at the door....
I will post more pictures as stuff changes...
