The TX3400 has a main unit that can be hidden away with a small remote display unit for dash mounting.
Could someone tell me where I should mount the main unit? Will it fit behind the glovebox?
With thanks,
Kevin

Kevin, I have 1 in my rodeo, I installed the main unit (which has the speaker, unless you use a extension speaker) inside the plastic cowling around my steering column. It fits nicely under the column, several zip tie's holds it snug and tight, and there is enough gap around the cowling lower dash for the speaker to be easily heard.
Under the
seat can be a problem, with water, depends on what you get up too I guess, and kids shoving their feet/shoes etc under there, and the speaker is more remote from yourself.

Water is a possibility (if I feel that adventurous!) but children's feet, toys, &c. are an absolute certainty!

My wife came up with the brilliant idea of replacing the ashtray with the radio. This allowed us to save $100 by buying the TX3200.
It's a tight squeeze but it's almost there - I need to file away the corner of a bracket that holds the engine mounts .. sorry, the console ... and it 'should' fit in. Looks neat too.
Just in case you want to do this: I removed the brackets from the ashtray and attached them to the TX3200's cradle.
Thanks for all the advice!
Cheers,
Kevin

what a nifty idea - how neat is the fit at the front?
