• 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 finally got around to putting my Uniden BCT8 scanner in the dash of my Honda Accord. Originally there was a small compartment under the stock AM/FM radio. I found that the scanner was almost the same size as the compartment, so I decided to put the stock radio on the bottom where the compartment was and put the scanner on the top. I temporarily used duck tape to hold the two radios together. I plan on making a bracket to hold the two together, and wiring the scanners speaker to the cars stereo although the volume is not to bad the way it is now. I will post updates with pictures soon so stay posted.

Should turn out nice once you get the bracket done. Similar to my 996 in 99 Corrolla.
I took out the storage compartment and there were two ISO brackets in there. I still have room for a BCT15:lol::lol:. Everything will go back to normal if I need to sell the car.

I think I would have gotten rid of that ugly firestick on the hood and went to a trunk mount but otherwise nice.

Whats with the "Built Ford Tough" floor mats. That just aint right. Looks good other than the firestick looks pretty out of place up front like that. Can it be mounted on the rear deck with the same bracket? Just my .02
