I have installed the Home Patrol in My 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee, using the Device Holders and Dashboard Vehicle Mounts*-*ProClip Car Mounts for Mobile Phones, GPS, and Handheld Devices system. Post installation lessons learned, I need to add a swivel to the scanner, GPS has one already. Possibly add a wedge to angle the GPS screen a little more. Antenna is a clamp on NMO Larsen 2M/70cm. This antenna works VERY well for my system. I know, not a typical scanner antenna, but you use what works best for you. My area is from 42-800 Mhz.
To power this system. I have an 8 gauge power feed from battery to under the passenger seat. From there I have a power distribution panel. To feed this system, I wired direct a triple outlet 12 v plug. Perfect to feed scanner, GPS for Home Patrol, as well as my Navigon GPS. As long as I was wiring, I added an Inverter under rear seat, and sent power to rear compartment to a double 12v plug, perfect for charging up XTS2500 drop in charger.
