Got rid of my Lumina and picked up a Grand Caravan. I've been looking for a minivan for awhile now, and finally took the plunge. I installed the following radios:
Kenwood NX-700 VHF mounted to side of passenger seat.
Kenwood NX-800 UHF mounted to side of passenger seat.
Motorola MCS-2000 Model I 800 MHz mounted in the coin pocket under the climate controls.
Uniden BCD-396XT scanner mounted to dash via a strong microphone clip.
Uniden Pro-520XL CB (clipped) with D-104 mic (not shown) mounted under the overhead console above the rear-view mirror.
I chose to mount the VHF & UHF radios on the side of the seat so that I could still use the space between the seats. The MCS is a near-perfect fit in the coin pocket once I cut the rear portion of the pocket out. The CB does not obstruct my mirror with the exception of the mic cord on one side.
Not shown is the antenna array. All 4 antennas are NMO mounted, holes being positioned down the center of the roof. Antennas are as follows:
Motorola hgh-gain 800 MHz.
Motorola high-gain UHF.
Tram NMO mount CB antenna.
Motorola unity-gain VHF whip.
I will add antenna photos once the 40 days/nights of rain subsides...
