Hyundai Santa Fe Mounting Tips

[yorkphotog]

For the longest time, I've had a BCT15 sitting on the ground of the car and a BC246T in the cup holder. All wiring is basically done, but I'm having some mounting problems.

First of all, I've seen a bunch of different mounts for the BC246, but wasn't sure what would work best in my car. I take out out of the vehicle daily... BCT15 is permanently in the car though. Any thoughts on a BC246 mount?

The BCT15 is giving me the most trouble....I bought the mount bracket from Uniden, and thought it would just slip right into the DIN mount under the radio. I took apart the dash, and oh yeah, it slips *right* in. There is absolutely nothing there to hold the Uniden mount.. and I don't see how it's possible to add another bracket in there. If I removed the radio, the BCT15 would probably sit fine in it's place.

I took a pic of the car in pieces the other day and will post it here when I get home.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Bump.

Quite a pain having all of this radio equipment just sitting around the car and not properly mounted. I'd love to get more scanners, but I don't really feel that confident before getting all of the current gear fastened.

Here's the pic.

As I said above, this setup is getting frustrating... everything from how it's mounted, to the power setup, etc. I'd like to get more radios, but I can't even think about that yet.

Could you tie-wrap them together? It would give the bct15 more support...

Tie-wrap? There's nothing other than gravity holding that BCT15 in there..

what does the mount for the factory radio look like, can you secure the uniden din mount to the factory mount? can you add some metal strapping to secure the din mount to?

there are many options, I was able to mount my 996 in a Dakota just below the dash panels in the standard uniden bracket.
