The RAM® Universal No-Drill™ Laptop features a heavy-duty steel mounting base designed to fit a variety of vehicles. Using the front bench or passenger side seat rail bolts as attachment points, existing hardware is used to secure the laptop mount base in the vehicle. The included RAM Tough-Tray™ is spring loaded to accommodate 10″ to 17″ laptops. The tray features four adjustable retaining arms with rubber grips. These arms can be moved both vertically and horizontally, enabling a custom fit for varying thicknesses of laptops and access to ports or drives. A screen support and USB light are also available to accessorize the tray. Hole patterns on perimeter of tray facilitate the mounting of additional RAM systems to support phones or other electronics.

  • Custom, RAM® No-Drill™ mounting base offers lowest profile in the industry
  • Universal adjustable base accommodates a wide range of vehicles (see Additional Information)

RAM-VB-196-SW1 Compatibility Guide (pdf)

Questions & Answers

Can someone sit in the passenger seat while this mount is installed?

Technically someone can still sit in the passenger seat when this mount is installed but the mount does take up a considerable amount of leg room and it does make the passenger seat much less comfortable.

Can I use this on right-hand drive vehicles?

No, for right-hand drive vehicles, you would need the RAM-VB-196-1-SW1.

How can I be sure the universal mount is compatible with my vehicle before placing an order?

There is a compatibility guide available in the “Resources” section of this product page. The compatibility guide will show you how to measure your passenger seat bolts and surrounding area to make sure the mount can be installed in your vehicle.

Does this work with the RAM® Remove-A-Pole™ Riser for Vehicle Laptop Mounts: RAM-VB-REM1

No, the RAM-VB-REM1 is not compatible with the RAM-VB-196-SW1 (Universal No Drill Laptop Mount).  The Remove a Pole is attached between one of the vehicle specific no drill bases and a lower tele pole, the lower pole in the Universal No Drill Laptop mount is welded to the base plate itself.
