1. Antenna - not an issue - have a bull bar.
2. Firewall - How do I get the cable through the firewall ?
3. Main unit - what's the easiest place to hide the main unit, whilst still being able to hear the speaker?
4. Remote head - best place to locate?
5. Power - just piggy back off power outlet on console?
6. Remote speaker - I also have a remote speaker which may be an option. Is there a convenient place to mount this, and if so, is there then a better place to put the main unit?
1. tick
2. There are a number of options thru the firewall. Up near the battery tray (looking from under the jeep) is a large rubber boot. (search for radio fitting as there are a number of threads)
3. I fitted mine under the passenger seat as there are some bars on the seat itself that you can screw straight on to. It up off the floor.
4. I have mine fitted on the panel at the bottom of the centre console. It misses the manual gearlever.
5. Piggy back off the cig lighter or direct wire back to battery(see other threads on radio fitting)
6. I have mine fitted to the back on my DVD bracket that fits over the centre console lid.
Search as the threads are long and plentiful
