My setup is made for chasing solo, though it can easily be shifted to hold passengers. Laptop is held by a RAM Mount by the way of a universal mount screwed into the console as they dont make a no drill mount for my Hyundai. Tablet held in the cupholder with a Tab-tite mount. You can pick up good deals on ebay for RAM products if you are patient. Generally have most the wires tucked under floor mats or into paneling, but not to extreme as I like to be able to remove stuff if need.
400W hardwired power inverter and all plug ins are under the seats. The nets on the back of the seats have come in super handy. One holds in my router for my camera dome setup (more about that here - https://stormtrack.org/threads/streaming-ip-camera-dome-camera.27816/). The other holds my mifi jetpack to keep the antenna and power cord from getting knocked loose. Also put in a couple of extra cigarette lighter/power socket splitters (had them laying around) to add a couple USB ports and to be able to have my front and back amber light switches in 1 place.
Some other shots of the dash area:
I am tempted to move the CB to the driver side like Chuck (thought about it when I put it in too). Afraid my leg would hit it too much on my side. My primary use is the weather radio anyways, so I dont necessarily need easy access to it. Also as much as I try to hide wires, once I get chasing and have the cameras on the dash the wires are all over the place to keep them charged.
Only had an officer say something about the computer once, which I had it closed when he pulled me over but while waiting on him I opened it to watch the radar. He just said to keep it closed while on the road. That was from an OK trooper. I always close it when going through towns just to be safe, as it is not worth a wreck or a ticket. Big reason why I bought laptop holders that allow you to close the lid. The most common reaction I get with law enforcement, like this past Friday in Guymon, OK when I got pulled over for my fog lights being on, is "did you see any good storms" or how was the chasing". The computer is normally not an attention grabber for them it seems.
