uhf installation question...

[Bert]

hey guys, i'm currently installing a uhf radio and am having a slight problem running the power and antenna cables from the engine bay into the cabin to power up the unit...

i've pulled apart the centre console (plan to mount the unit below hazard light control switch) and just dont know where to feed the cables through...

could someone who has installed a uhf on their jk provide me with some advice??

cheers

theres the gromet on the passenger side of the jk not sure where it is though behind the battery from memory to drag wires through or use off the back of the constant power plug ( ie drivers side power outlet) im running the 2 pce unit there and the rest up under the steering wheel outa sight

That's right. Gromet behind the Battery on the Passenger side is the easiest way to do it.

Power off the Ciggy Lighter (if you want it linked to the ignition) or the Constant Power Plug.

thanks for your help guys, found that grommet behind the battery and tried feeding cables through attached to a some wire but don't seem to be getting very far... or in the right direction (towards centre console) what is the easiest way of going about getting them through? or do i just need more patience? hehe

cheers

Dont know the grommet you are talking about as i used other side but have a look under dash and see if you can see it from inside the grommet on rhs was pretty thick and i had to poke a hole thru with a screwdriver first
