Well, in the interest of sanity, let me tell you that I'm a terminal
gadget FREAK.
I've been scouring the paperbacks and rags for quite some time looking for
genuinely interesting and innovative projects to make the drive less
boring and interesting. I have a small collection of good projects that
are indeed quite good so far. Yet I still hunger for new ideas or
gadgets to add.
If you have any  or operate some in your vehicle, I'd like to hear about
them. Perhaps a compiled list would make a good future post for those
like-minded.
 
SO far, I have working in my vehicle:
 
2Meter Mobile w/ 160 watt amp
Inside / outside temp monitor (usefull when you live out here in AZ)
Typical driving light set-up
ELectronic COmpass
T-STorm level monitor (Sferic Level monitor as seen in Pop Elect.)
Freq Scanner ( a **REAL** cheapie..looking for a better one)
Remote burgular alarm
 
Projects in the stove:
 
CHarging circuit monitor (Watches start, idle and charging voltages)
RDF (Radio Direction Finder..for locating sources)
 
 
Looking for information on:
 
The satellite navigation / street map / location displays
 
 
Gadgets, projects and miscellaneous all welcomed
