My Overland Interior Setup & Why - Navigation, Magnetic Mounts, Comms, Lighting, & More

Your interior is obviously where you spend most of your time while driving your vehicle, so it should be something you want to make comfortable, but also super functional. I have gone through about 3 iterations of my interior setup (particularly my dash) and finally feel like I have it right.

Thank so much for watching and let me know if there's another way you've done something to make your interior setup perfect for you.

Nice setup! I jailbroke my Amazon Fire tablet ($100) and installed Garmin Explore, now I can link it to my Inreach Mini 2 and use it the same way without having to buy a new device for $700-$1100!

[PittiesAndMore]

I have a iPad mini 2 too but I can't use onX because it doesn't work with the OS system. Apple no longer supports the mini 2. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[Bruce]

I like it except for the iPad location. I’m too far sited to see it that close. Lol

[jakemetz]

Does the magnet on your phone interfere with wireless charging though?

[BrianAz]

How does the iPad receive the GPS signal from the Garmin GPS receiver? Do you blue tooth connect through the iPad?

[calebblackmon]

That Garmin Tread is freakin sweet man. I’m definitely going to have to get one of those

[raddadtactical]

Solid setup, you influenced me to adopt the magnetic set up in the past video and I’m getting ready to do the midland comms hard mounted like yours. It just looks clean and out of sight. if you haven’t already could you do a a short video on how you have the midland mounted and hardwired into the glovebox, a basic tutorial would be rad, did you need to drill a hole for the hand mic, etc. Enjoying the content and Tacoma build all the way out here in the desert of California!

Not confident those magnetic mounts are going to do the job if you get into really rough terrain. Just used two in our 2005 Jeep Rubicon TJ on the Florida Adventure Trail and our iPad mini running ONX and a smart phone both fell off. We are switching to more positive grip with RAM or Bullet mounts. I do like your setup - we ran a vehicle mounted Midland Radio with low profile antenna and two handheld BAOFENG DM-1701 Digital Two Way Radio DMR Analog Walkie Talkie GD-77. Added a Garmin 700i Montana both for emergency communications as well as second navigation system.

[mdtran]

Great setup! Question- how did you get the scosch to attach to the ram piece? Glue or 3m tape ?

[EvergreenOG]

Chk out the website, sold out on tshirts, when’s the restock coming?

[brucecook]

Your interior is a mess, no class i would never do this to my very tricked out 4runner

[ghostinc]

12:28 I hate using my phone for navigation. I rather have a my phone free for talking and or bluetooth streaming on occasion. But I don't like doing that either. I copy my music to a usb stick.
So all these new radios wanting to use android auto and apple auto is annoying.

[AidanKemp]

I’ve got the Garmin Tread too and my mount is just a snap on one, did you purchase the magnetic mount/charger separately? That would be much nicer to have I’m always struggling with mine.

[bretthoward]

Do you suggest a size of iPad mini? Like do you need one with a lot of storage? Possibly for saving maps?

[reynoirjr]

How did those rugged walkies work out for you? I noticed you still have the midland handheld.

[ryanriggle]

What brand magnets for phone/iPad do you use? If this was already asked sorry.

[robertharold]

I’ll try again with the patches..I have a 2019 and they didn’t want to stick

[jboone]

Good call on the mounts. Every new phone I get I always put those metal plates on the back of my case.

[coloradomallcrawlers]

Thanks for sharing your setup… I’m trying to figure out what I want to do in my Jeep Liberty. I’m really surprised you like OnX over GAIA. I pay for both, and 9/10 times find GAIA way better. Also, I use my iPhone to shoot from the cab too, but with CarPlay or even using without, it doesn’t mess with navigation when I go to video mode (just shuts off my music), maybe your settings are off?

[mikelam]

Do you have a link for the mount to the right of your Inreach?
