• 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.

I want to take some long self tapping screws to mount my TM-D700 remote radio to the "hump". Is there any wires that run along on the top side of the hump? Exact mounting location is under the seat on top of the "hump". I want the self tapping screws to actually screw into the body. I just don't want to hit any wires and can't really tell for sure if there are any. I have had both seats physically torn out and still couldn't tell.

TIA,

Tim

I would worry less about wires but more about other plumbing that can move out of the way.

The hump is for the exhaust pipe running to the rear of the car. I wouldn't think they would run wires on top of it, but you never know.

Be safe and take a small piece of plywood. about 8"x6" and take up the carpet from the passenger side trim and put that under the hump.It is easy to fold the carpet back to get it under there. It wont change the profile much and is more secure and wont possbly damage whats under there . Your HVAC vents to the back of the car are under there.

HVAC vents are under the seats aren't they? At least that is were I see the vents coming out at. Is there more then that running to the rear? If so, where do they go? I like the plywood idea, hopefully it doesn't physically raise the radio. If so, it might allow it to hit the bottom side of the seat, something I can't have.
