Update
I've done some modifications to my setup over the past few months. Lets start with the trunk.
I've cleaned up some wires in the trunk by placing them in looms. I've left the power cable outside of the loom to prevent electrical interference with the blue mic cable. There is a slight ticking noise in the background of my signal, but it's been reported that it is unnoticeable unless it is listened for, but even then it is not annoying.
This is my primary antenna that is mounted to a Diamond K400S trunk lip mount. I still have the other antenna and mount as backup. This antenna works really well in rural areas, but is pretty long. In order to clear the garage entrance, I need to fold it over.
The wires have been cleaned up inside the vehicle. I found that the bench seat in the back was not secured very well and pulled up easily so I could hide wires under it. The power cable runs under this seat and then under the panels on the opposite side of the vehicle. I did this to reduce the amount of cable that runs throughout the engine compartment.
This is where the fuses used to stick out. They are now under the back bench seat away from much of the moisture. The blue mic cable is still clearly seen.
Hidden within the headliner is the cable for the remote head. This starts out running under the floor panels and then comes up where the driver's seat belt is. I made sure that it doesn't interfere with seat belt operation, and the cable is tucked tightly between the liner and trim to prevent the cable from wrapping around anything.
This "center console extension" is the newest addition to my vehicle. My seats are basically bucket seats, but with the center cushion taking up that space, I needed an alternative to mounting equipment near the front of the vehicle. I mainly built this to mount my mic hanger on, but there is a lot of extra space that I can use for something else. It is pretty strong with about 1/2" thick plywood screwed together and wedged tightly between the center cushion and seats. There are no sharp pieces of wood or anything else sticking out from the extension, so I don't have to worry about tearing the leather. I'm sure I can add an extension for a laptop mount here if I wanted to, but I'll have to put it through its paces first.
The radio itself with the amber back light setting active.
Let me know what you think, especially for the console extension. I want to add other things there, so suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for looking!
