Installing CB in 100 Series Landcruiser

Hi i have installed the remote head unit in my 100 series but it would be easier to show you via pictures. If you have an email address i am happy to email them.

ChrisB et al,

I have mounted a full GME4400 where the front-most sunglasses compartment is normally in my TD100 overhead console. It took a while to work out the correct bracket but having done it and been happy with its appearance, I have now transferred the arrangement successfully between 2 such cars. The front sunnies door unit completely clips out leaving a large hole which fills quite nicely with the bulk of the radio. The unit protrudes down at a pleasing angle without infering with anything else including the 2 switchable downlights. I then carry the microphone in the rear-most compartment with the curly cable slightly dangling between the radio and the rear most sunnies door. I use the inbuilt speaker (very legible).

It is quite easy to take the coax and power cable from the centre console over to the drivers side front pillar through the roof lining using a long piece of draw wire. Once down under the dashboard, the cable and wire can be taken out into the engine compartment via one of the existing rubber pass-throughs without compromising the firewall in any way.

I am happy to take a photo and post it to anyone who is really keen to see the appearance of the finished product. This shows that with a little ingenuity, it is possible to use what the car already has without having to purchase an after-market overhead console unit or suffer having a radio hindering your legspace.

Hi Lance,

I just peel the carpet back - wack the radio in and put carpet back - the carpet holds the unit in place. When i did mine originally i didnt use an ext speaker - the sound was ok - but not great when turning up the stereo or having the misses and kids yelling in the car........i then cable tied a speaker under the dash and its fine now. I have done a few since on units we have sold, however i find most of our customers have their own idea's on what / where they want to mount. I am alergic to drilling holes in my Interior.

I have looked at the sunglasses compartment to put the head in - but havent actually had a shot at it. My vehicle is a 100 Series TD Sahara so the sunglasses pocket is the only pocket i have up there (Sunroof) and the console is taken up with the fridge (not complaining - its great) - but it does limit storage badly.
