This is the family car, mostly driven by my wife. I have installed a a Kenwood TK-8150, which came with the remote kit. I wanted her to have access to the GMRS, and for trips. Antenna is drilled NMO with a 6" Tram whip. Wife said it had to be a clean install, so the main unit is hidden behind the rear access panel on the drives side, and the head is attached to overhead compartment. Whole thing is hidden from view of outside, to keep down on theft. Power is fused and properly sized per the upfitters manual. Antenna is 12" from edge of back of roof sheet metal, centered, and more than 12" from the roof rack cross bar. Antenna cable is run down drives "D" pillar, and head cable is run up the "D" pillar down the center of the ceiling and pops out in the overhead area, completely hidden.
