• 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.

Hey I'm trying to see if anyone knows how to wire a radio for a 2013+ Ford Fusion. I can't seem to find any firewall grommets, and looking through the trunk, with little luck. Also, I'm planning on putting a VHF/UHF antenna on the right rear trunk lid, so I hope that doesn't overload the front end of the car radio or scanner that will have an antenna on the opposite side of the trunk lid.

Thanks for the help!

I ran a power line a couple month's ago in a friends Fusion....it was either a 14 or 15. I found a grommet just above the brake pedal where the hood release cable ran through the firewall. I was able to run the power leads through that hole, but the grommet pushed out while fishing the wire through. It exits below the battery area. I cut and added a new grommet and then sealed with RTV.

Thanks everyone for the answers, I was also thinking about a way to go from the trunk, anyone know about that? I wish I could wire the radio some how to a separate battery or power source without having to go straight to a grommet.
