    I'm looking for a CF-WEB2732CBL. The one with a single antenna pass through. PM if anyone has one. Thanks.

    You can get a standard CF-WEB2732 and then add the coax connector & cable. Sometimes I've seen the CF-WEB2732 on eBay for around $50 or less. These was a guy on eBay selling the coax & connector for $23. Think I might have an extra around here, PM me if you can find the port replicator at a good price ... ;)

    I saw one of ebay for like $25 it didn't have the antenna pass through. Here's another question I got. I don't currently have a need for that antenna connection on the rear of the laptop can I just use the standard replicator and have everything function normally? Or will I have to use the one that allows a single antenna pass through?

    The standard CF-WEB2732 dock will work just fine with a single- or dual-pass-through Toughbook.

    Have you considered the Kodiak Mobile (by Jotto Desk), Gamber-Johnson or RAM docks?

    I've been using the Kodiak you posted earlier TopCop. They are a great value and Jotto still sells parts for them you just have to call them in Rogers Ark. I was able to add my own wiring harness. If anyone needs the pin outs I have it here somewhere. They also have pass thru cables for single and dual However the one on fleabay has a single pass thru.

    Ya I'm getting a JottoDesk Lazy-L console and laptop stand in my Tahoe. I saw that Kodiak one then I called in for a quote and that was just a little expensive. I may still pursue it though. I'm trying to figure out which one would be best.

    Is there a universal type key for the Panasonic mount? Or are they all keyed different? It seems the one on Ebay has no key. I may buy the one on Ebay and see how it does.

    One word here: ebaY ™ ;)
    The keys are different from each other, unless the buyer of multiple units requests them to be keyed alike (such as a PD would do).

    Best bet is to get an Ilco LF10 and have a good locksmith fit it to the Panasonic lock.

    :) I was able to find a barrel type key to replace the original kodiak set up. I found the parts a Ace hardware. It changes the original vending machine type key to a Y11 blank. Hope that helps.
