Post Up Your Cockpit

[jeep670]

Nice setup, is that the seicane audio head unit? what is the mount you are using for the tablet up at the driver side sun visor?

Yes, is the seicane 10inch android head unit.
The little display above driver side is not a tablet but a Superchips programmer for JK. Its mount is made up with a few GoPro pieces I put together to fit that location. The location is high up, out of the way, so the display is not really visible from outside by walking by unless you stop and look for it, for safety.
(I can take a side pic of the mount later if you want one, let me know.)

Yeah, if you wouldn't mind that would be awesome! Thanks for the info. I've been looking at the seicane head unit for a couple years now, would you buy it again if doing it all over? Is there a way to update the version of Android on it if desired?

I'll get the pic later.
Yes, I'd buy the seicane unit again no second thoughts. It is very nice and useful. I hotspot my phone for internet and leave it in the pocket. Everything is done with the seicane unit. If you look again in my pics, behind the mirror there's a little dash cam that records directly to seicane. Rear cam also displays on the seicane. Too many useful things with that unit. Not to mention running maps, gaia, etc, plus aprsdroid, echolink, and everything you'd run on an android tablet or phone.
I guess it can be updated but I did not bother to mess up with something that works very well as is.

 

[brien]

That's awesome to hear. You've listed off like all of my desired use cases as well, hah!

 

[jeep670]

I left out little things like watching youtube, netflix or kodi while stopped or driving (illegal [emoji41] but enjoyable [emoji8][emoji16]).

Pics from both sides of the "mount".

Thank you for the photos!

 

[jeep670]

Thank you for the photos!

My pleasure.
And.. just a few things you can do with the head unit, while overlanding of course:
1. Gaia
2. APRS
3. Front cam, live recording
4. Rear cam, live
5-6. You can even watch instructional jeep videos on youtube [emoji16]

 

[brien]

That system is awesome. I think this has helped me finally make the decision to order one.

 

[jeep670]

Glad to help. [emoji868]

Apart from a fire extinguisher tucked down next to the driver's seat, the only additions to my Jeep XJ & MJ (same set up in both) are a coffee cup holder and Garmin GPS … so I can find the next coffee shop.

 

[PCO6]

I also have a Jeep LJ and fabricated a GPS mount for on top of the dash.

Yes! Somebody else used that voltage gauge.

My original console was so bad, I took it completely out. The lack of usable space and cup holders sucked. Everything got replaced with Ram Mount components. The modular form of the Ram Mount Console allowed me to completely customize and hold everything. Ram Mount stalks hold my phone, radios, and tablets within easy viewing range.

Mine came with the pod switch.

Mine came with the pod switch.

Mine came off of Powerwerx.com. I have used quite a bit of their stuff and get all my Anderson Powerpole stuff from them. I've converted from cig lighter sockets to all Anderson Powerpole connections, solid connections and all amperages.
