Simple, iPad on RAM mount. Real nice thing is for a Tundra is the Switch Pro setup from SDHQ! Eight switches in the business card space on a Tundra console. Super clean install. Nice iPhone/iPad app to configure and change LED color.

Love Ram Mount! Except for the shipping cost and time. Product is the best though.

That SwitchPro took up so little space. Nice.

I had very little space to mount anything in a Chevy suburban. Just not suited to attach things. I replaced the center console and used Ram Mount for all. I have three Ram Mount stalks that hold radios, phones, pads. Look further back in this thread for pics.
I built a console for my Tahoe with space in mind.

Simplicity for me. I enjoy a full functioning driver experience but I need a simple, uncluttered cockpit.

These are my cockpit mods:
  • HID bumper light switch
  • Kenwood 71A ham radio
    • RAM mount for remote head
  • PL259 connection for handheld CB radio
  • Compass/Dimming Mirror
  • Android Headunit
    • Torque Pro
    • Google Maps
    • APRS Droid
    • Backcountry Navigator Pro
  • Mobilinked Bluetooth TNC
  • Blue Seas High-speed USB charge ports
  • Homelink Garage door opener
  • RAM mount for other accessory
  • Dual Battery control (automatic, off, self jump start)
  • Digital starting battery voltmeter
  • Digital house battery voltmeter

Did you do the Blue Seas ACM battery switch for the dual? I noticed the self jump start.

It is just a ON-OFF-ON switch with a fancy picture on the switch. But yes, it is Blue Seas.

You can check out what I did in more detail here:

I like your center console reuse for the voltmeters and switches. I ended up replacing my console in the Suburban since it was pretty useless anyway and located everything there.
I used the Blue Seas ML-ACM battery control in which that $20 switch is part of. I like the charge management of the Blue Seas system and low curren. ML-ACR Automatic Charging Relay with Manual Control - 12V DC 500A - Blue Sea Systems
Your approach was certainly cheaper!

Can't believe no one has posted something similar yet. :grinning: The office.

I was thinking the same thing, here's the inside and a couple of views from the cockpit.

Now here's the view in my Willys, it's not quite as good as the F-16. I realize the Willys isn't as cool or fancy as the newer vehicles but I built the whole thing and it works just fine for me.
