2014 Dodge Ram 2500 Install

[Stephen]

Installation just completed on my truck, though I cannot take credit as it was completed by a local radio shop. VHF and UHF Motorola XPR5550, along with a extra cable with a BNC connector for when I have my portable Uniden Digital scanner in the truck it fits nicely in the cup holder.

Antennas are from front to back Scanner wide receiver antenna, UHF, VHF.

I always like to see installs done in the newer vehicles since the newer rides seem to be the most difficult to install radios in these days (no space!). Looks like Ram Trucks gave you a nice cubby in the perfect spot for those control heads.

The install looks great! Enjoy!

That's a very nice install and those Motorola units fit perfectly.

Which Uniden do you use in the cup holders?

Thanks guys

BCD396XT is what I sometimes will put in my cup holder.

Nice looking install. It does take some work to do installs in newer vehicles, but with the remote heads it's a bit easier. Looks like they did a quality job.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love to see when antenna installs are done right. Permanent mount NMO's on top of the cab is really the way to go. Anything else is a halfa$$ed compromise.

Very nice use of the space you had to work with!

Very nice install. Super clean!

Is the forward-most antenna a Laird ABSCAN scanner antenna?

Very nice. Love the 5500's! Thank you for sharing!

The forward most antenna is the scanner antenna, and I have thus far been very impressed by its performance on low band up to 800mhz.
