Re: RAM Laptop Mount install
No doubt, it looks nice and RAM makes good stuff. I guess my only question is does RAM say who, driver or passenger) will be the person who has the laptop in the face if that passenger side airbag goes off? 
That bag goes off with quite a force, especially if in stage two, and it will shatter that laptop and send pieces of laptop all over the passenger compartment, and probably will not protect the passenger, or take part of the laptop into the passengers face. (Hard to tell which way the laptop will fly due to the angle.
Just something to think about...

Re: RAM Laptop Mount install
Can I turn off the airbag when the laptop mount is in the vehicle?
The whole assembly comes out with a twist and a pull, so it will only be in when off-roading or when the GPS is needed.
Right now it is slightly off center towards the passenger. You are right, All hell would break loose if the airbag went off. Could I disconnect the sensor under the seat for the passenger to keep it off?

Just let my ex-wife ride with you. She said that she was tired of taking my flak, maybe others wouldn't be so bad. |

Re: RAM Laptop Mount install
Not sure what would happen if you disconnected that sensor. Not sure if it would default to system on or off. I do know if you disconnect it or the air bag, it would set some codes and turn on the air bag (SIR) light.

Re: RAM Laptop Mount install
The passinger air bag is supressed if the weight on the passinger seat is below a preset weight limit. This is the Passinger Sensing System. I forget the threshold weight but it would be set to distinguish a child (or small adult) versus adult.

That would work....
I was just agreeing with how it worked. I'm also going to guess that GM will default to no airbag if the switch is disconnected. But I DO NOT know this for sure.

Re: RAM Laptop Mount install
I use the laptop for 7.5" quads and satalite imagery overlays. I wish I could use a handheld. The big screen is nice though.
