Here is a pic of my so-so install using Lido 400EXP window mount. Speaker is under the seat.

Pretty good - I like the 90 and the cable being hidden.. Good job!

I think that's really nice. The only way I would ever mount a portable in a car.

Nice job!

Like the view too - easy too look at !!

Nice mobile install...

Nice mounting but I'd sure hate to have my radio exposed to the direct summer sun like that.

Looks good, how do you like the 396?

Love the radio, just wish it was a bit more sensitive.

Great install. Im looking to do something like that in my truck. Where did you get that holder?

My Pro-96 is pretty sensitive. I have to watch what I say around it or it starts crying...

:lol:

My BCT-15 does the same thing - even sometimes I could even think it might be "waa waaaing" just a bit.

But anyway back to the thread I like that install - nice to view instead of having to look down or whatever.

I like the install too.. Matter a fact, I just ordered that mount last night after seeing yours.

I ordered it from Amateur Electronic Supply, Cost $20. It called Lido mount and the model is LM400EXP

I don't have any pics of my antenna, it is just a 6 inch stinger in an NMO body mount.

Mine came in yesterday. I placed it where it's partially in front of my AC vent. That ought to help a lot, I think... When parked, I remove it unless in the garage. Texas Summer's (and late Spring) are brutal on anything in direct sunlight. Ugh

looks nice

looks good. what is that wire running in front of the gauge cluster? Speaker wire?

One thing you may want to consider, when you remove it you should give the windshield a wipe with water and a paper towel. The suction cup will leave a ring. There have been many thefts of GPS's from cars and the majority of those are from people who have the suction cup mount. Even though the people remove them and store it in the trunk or glove box, it gets stolen, because the thief spots the ring left on the windshield by the suction cup. But I like this set up for one reason, you don't take your eyes off the road when you make an adjustment. That's one of my pet peeves about people mounting radios on the side of a console or between the seats,you take your eyes off the road. High on the dash or in the dash is the best place for any radio.

Yes, hadn't concealed it yet when I took the picture.
