installation

I would like to install a dual band radio in my Subaru Crosstrek. Usually I would come in where the wiring harness comes into the cabin. But, the space is cramped and I don’t think it would work. It seems like my only option would be to drill a hole in the firewall. I am attempting to run a...

Hi all. Wondering if anyone out there has any ideas or leads on a dual bracket for the XPR5000 series? I'm limited on space (single cab Toyota Tacoma) for mounting and found a side mount that hooks to the seat bolts like this and was thinking of trying to mount two XPR mobiles on it stacked...

I'm trying to mount my President McKinley radio in my 2019 Subaru Ascent. I'd like to mount it in the least destructive way possible while being able to easily remove it. I found the mounting setup in the picture on a Subaru Ascent forum but the guy failed to respond when I asked what hardware...

Has anyone here ever installed an LTE modem and/or DMR hotspot in a car? I’m looking to do both and I have some questions.

I just got a 2018 Toyota 4Runner and need to install 3-NMO antenna mounts on the roof with cable runs to the underdash or console area. Considering the vehicle is loaded with side curtain air bags, I don't really want to install the mounts and run the cables myself. Any recommendations for a...

Hey forums, I really need some help. I am 100% self taught on everything I know. I have a Motorola Systems 9000 unit installed. I previously had this in a 2004 Pontiac Montana and a 2005 Buick Rendezvous without any problems. However, about a week ago, I started have problems in the 2005 Buick...

Please help a Newbie with a seemingly simple question. I purchased a "Taken Out of Service" TK-890H 110w UHF radio with "basic" remote head controller. Out of the back of the radio is the 12v DC connector with 2 red and 2 black leads. I have never come across 2 before. They were cut short to...

I am involved in a lengthy discussion about what radio to buy and as of now, it looks like it will be a Kenwood TM-V71A but the question would probably apply equally to most comparable radios. My first inclination is to install the radio intact, no separation kit cost or hassle. I was looking...

My HP-2 was just delivered and I am hoping to fend off some of the USB issues I am reading about. I have a current model ASUS laptop that came with Win10x64. I just returned a RS Pro-668 for the driver issues among others. I removed all the 668 drivers and software. I cleaned up all the port...

Hi All I have a line of trees above my house approx 30 yards linear up with an elevation change of approx 6-8 feet from the foundation of my house to the line of trees. The tallest tree is about 100 feet high in the air. My question is : Can I place the center dipole 50-90 feet up in that tree...

Possibly a dumb quesion, but would it be possible to use an external speaker (such as the Uniden ESP-20, perhaps) with a Jaguar P700? If so, where would it plug in and what type of connector would be necessary? Also, would an NMO hole mount antenna be possible to use when in the car? If so, what...

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...
