    Has anyone installed one of these in their CF-29? If so, could you provide pics as to where the cables go and how well it works. Thanks

    Quick question. Without going into the quality or lack thereof of those kits (I'm staying out of that discussion), why on earth would you buy a CF-30 kit for a CF-29? They seem to make both. Pain is good?

    I strongly suggest you read this thread, Adding Aftermarket Internal GPS to the CF-29, completely before worrying about finding and installing an "OEM" GPS to your CF-29 Toughbook.

    That is an upgrade to the cf-29 gps kit If you have the existing kit from CT but you can still install that using the OEM sled for CF-29 with a provision for gps.
