Has anybody use something like this? It looks like it might make things easier to setup in a small car.

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.
Automatic speaker switch

That’s what hoping. I have a small car and not a lot of room for speakers so I was planning on installing two of the automatic switches, one connected to a scanner and ham radio and another connected to a scanner and CB radio with the transmitting radios as primary.
When I installed my radio, I placed a Kenwood external speaker underneath the driver’s seat. The audio is clear and it’s out of sight. You can easily place two speakers underneath it depending on the vehicle.
Great idea but be sure to check for wiring and back seat heater vents. Some vehicles have stuff under there and some don't.
Unfortunately with my car, there isn’t much room. It’s a very small car. I can barely fit one scanner under the seat. I also do have under seat vents and the airbag/seatbelt sensor wires under there. Everything is going to be placed in the trunk, with just the control heads and speaker in the cab.
I have installed my radio in a Honda Civic, and now a Nissan Frontier. I have the vents as well but the radio stays forward of the vents as not to receive direct heat or air from the vents.
As for the airbag and heated seats, I have never had any issues for the six or seven years a of this setup. I ensured proper grounding and SWR is 1:1.
The only issue I’ve had is trying to find a place for my microphone, haha. I don’t like drilling into the dash.
