UHF Instal Radio position

[04OFF]

That looks neat Nisspat, took me a second or so to spot the UHF as it blends in so nice.

Where did you mount the unit itself ?

Thanks for the ideas everybody,

At this stage I am leaning towards mpounting on the passenger side next to gear stick.

Hi everyone,

I changed my mind and mounted the radio to the front of the glovebox. Power comes from one of the cigarette lighter plugs. Joined the wires in at the rear.

I have a GME 3420 remote head unit. The main unit is installed under the passengers seat. If you remove the seat you should find a metal frame under the seat squab that you can screw the radio cradle onto. The main body of the radio can be slid in and out of this frame easily with the seat in place.

The head unit is mounted as per pic, the mic. holder is mounted using double sided 3m tape on the passengers side of the stereo unit, allows both the driver and passenger easy access.



I mounted an external Benelec speaker ($20 at SCA) on the cargo barrier.

If you have an auto then this spot might be ideal. Manuals don't have this little compartment.

Thanks NissPat. Nice. VERY NEAT! My GU1 almost has the A/T switch in the way but it'll work! yeah ... that's what I want :-) but how to make the GU1 look as good!

The unit itself it under the dash as high as I could get it just in case I ever flood the truck...LOL

I used a bit of high density foam to make a snug fit in the compartment.

I have a pet hate for putting screws into perfectly good interior panels, so fitted mine using two of the screws on the side of the centre console on left side of radio if that makes sense. No pics as I'm at work and ute back in Perth, and it's a GQ.
Make a bracket and use factory screw positions not to hard with a little thought

Hi guys,

Just taken my car for its first trip with the radio attached to the glovebox. It is a good place in some respects, easy to reach and doesnt get in the way. Sometimes the sun reflected off the numbers making it hard to read. Mic was easy to get to. Glovebox door shook a bit when going over ruts and rough ground. Wired into the back of the cigarette lighter

Not sure if your head unit takes up the whole slot? My 2008 DX had room for a small Uniden just under the aftermarket headunit. Will grab pics tonight so that makes more sense!
