http://motorcycletunes.com/proddetail.asp?prod=MT1-700 You would need the 6v - 12V convertor This would fit under the dash and just plug in an headphone extension cable when you want to use it... or they also make bluetooth adapters I have one of these.... But I think I paid closer to $50 on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Re: Model A with a computer ?
Is there anyone out there that is using a IPad for this same reason.
I would like to hear about the availability of APPs on the IPad. What I really am looking for is one that I can tell it what roads I would like to travel on along the route and it would tell me when the turn (left or right) is coming up and how far to the next turn. Thanks for your time. Joe Grobleski |

Re: Model A with a computer ?
Ipads are neat but are out of my price range. The Android tablet I show in this post cost $130 new. It has 8 GB memory, GPS, 10" capacitive screen, 2 USB ports, SD card port (32GB), Bluetooth, Wifi, lousy camera, can be run from 6V Model A electrical system and has HDMI output. For me it was a much better value than a $500 ipad.

Re: Model A with a computer ?
About 5 years ago my son helped me add a GPS to my car. t is a 7" Garmin unit. He welded up the mounting pracket that goes on the steering coloum. When I had problems with the audio output stage of the Garmin going south whenever I turned the volume we added the small amplifier. The antenna for the GPS is mounted on the small trianguler bracket by the roof of the Sport Coupe. It works great as the roof is cloth. Needles to say, I have a 12 volt system. I also modified a 12 volt voltmeter to fit in where the ammeter was. As my engine was worked over, .100 over, stipe cam, full pressure oiling, new counter balanced crank, etc.... I added a pressure gauge and tachometer below the speedometer. I also added a couple pictures of the hot water heater we hid under the front seat. Sure is nice not to get lost on a cold day.

Re: Model A with a computer ?
Speakers are hidden inside my car but not connected to anything. This thread is food for thought.

Re: Model A with a computer ?
Sometimes I will have a MAP in the side pocket for directions.
I just don't understand the point in adding this "stuff" to the Model A. I have had a lifetime in the high tech engineering world and the Model A is a wonderful place to keep original and a haven from today's madness with social twitter/facebook/etc. Marc |

Re: Model A with a computer ?
I just charge up my wife's tom-tom and use the window suction cup. Set it for "Avoid interstates" and turn it on when I need it to conserve battery life. I would like to mount a hidden lighter socket under the corner of the dash and plug a USB charger into it.

Re: Model A with a computer ?
I got this from Amazon, mounted it up under the gas tank on the far right side with Velcro. (Convienent for my wife to plug her iPhone into.) It has 2 lighter sockets & 2 USB ports. Hard wired it so that it only works when the switch is on. Has it's own fuse.
