Primarily for police, but also suitable for most emergency services or anyone looking for a swivel screen.

Of course, it can be used without a keyboard, which is offered as an optional add-on mounted below the screen stand.

Looks like the rotating transmission gear selector gets re positioned based on the photos. I can't imagine that this retrofit is cheap...

That's a pretty cool idea for the keyboard. It is 100% for first responders.

There's another system out there that integrates with the Android Auto interface that allows first responders to mirror their computer/tablet/phone display inside the car display. London (UK) paramedics use it inside their MachE, and some agencies in Canada are also trialing it. Big benefit is it removes the need to have the giant Toughbook up front as they can mount the computer in the trunk of on the side of the console so it's a) not constantly in the passenger's knee and b) a hazard in the event of a crash while still allowing for dispatch program/incident info to be displayed and easily viewed. It even allows for the lights and sirens to be controlled through the centre display for a covert setup (fire department take home vehicles, for example).

I would be satisfied if the most used buttons were at the top of the screen, AC, heat, seat heat and steering wheel heat. That way your eyes aren’t far from the road!
