After having my license since June and my radio since July, I finally had time to get it all installed. I picked Kenwood based on several reviews discussing ease of use and programming. Not to mention, I have a local ham who uses them and has been helping me with programming. I know...

I'm looking at installing a Uniden BCT8 scanner and a Uniden PRO520XL in my 1996 Land Rover Range Rover, however, I can't seem to find a very effective way to do it... Because the parking break and the shifter are housed within the center console, I can't make up my own custom console for...

Not nearly as elegant as the sunglasses holder install. This is almost exclusively my commute vehicle. I don't have to worry about passengers too much so I mounted the main portion of the radio on the side of the console. It is far enough forward to be out of the way moving the seat and get...

Let's get started: First we assemble the stuff to be installed: Gut the truck: Drop the headliner: Be careful of the airbags! No insulation? Mark the spot and drill some holes:

So this is a Yukon we did. It was mostly done from my coworker, but I gave my help in wiring the power. It is a full dash mount MCS2000, not a remote mount. He had to cut away behind there where the tray is usually at. He did the cutting and fitting. He does this all the time, and (sucking in...
