    I am looking for a nice condition, reasonably priced docking station for a vehicle mounted CF-29. Anybody have or know of anything interesting? PM me, if you have or know something. This is for my brother that I am helping put a Toughbook in his "extra duty" vehicle.

    I am squared away on the recently needed CF-29 thanks to Rob! :D

    Great price as long as you don't need an external hi-gain antenna:

    "Bottom Connectivity with SCSI Cable & Audio: this option includes a BOB for external connectivity. but no antenna capabilities"

    Note the Lind charger is missing. NBD but I know who has one NIB with ciggy lighter plug. My dock has a Lind Charger built in. IOW they fit the unit. I can make sure these new ones fit.

    Also my dock has the arms and floor plate. Pictures via email if you want. I'm not trying to sell the dock but it may help you guys plan your installation.

    I too have the Lind adapter NIB, but mine is 12-32v input just in case your friend has a big truck or a boat.

    Well he bought one of the ones spotted by Toughasnails and he has "installed" it in his passenger side front seat... A real mount is the next problem. I have a few pro models in my storage area, and if they will not work we will most likely cobble one up.

    Cap, I will let him know about your Power Supply, he does have a boat! Thanks for everyone's help!

    I have a bunch of Ledco and Gamber Johnson mount stuff in the shop, let me know if you want some help with the mount. You can build a pretty nice mount for short dough if you know which mounts are sort of universal, especially the bases.
