Fitting UHF in Current Prado

Which model UHF radio did you fit?
The GME tx3400 uhf fits very nicely in the prado under ashtray.

I got a Icom IC400PRO and had it installed inside the big centre console bin. Out of sight in a city environment but accessible when in the scrub

Bracket bolted to passenger side sidewal of the bin. Only disadvantage is having the armrest up when using it but I can live with that.

Muddy

I did the same as 'Muddy 'doe' and had a GME TX3200 fitted in the centre console. Keeps it out of sight etc.

Did ya have to drill holes though?
Its a personal thing with me, hate drilling holes in the interior.
The radio fitted was a Uniden UH013 Remote Head.
The trick(s) were...
Next to the ignition is a silver platic plate about 100mm long, 50mm wide and is tapered. It is held in by two tabs, easy to remove. Behind the plate is two screws (both hex heads, 1 xthreaded 1 x 10mm). You can mount the remote head via these screws, dropping the cable through the dash, along the drivers side kickboard, eventually leading up to the drivers seat, of which underneath, with good quality cable ties, you can mount the transmitter. Easy as...

NOTE: Toyota DO NOT recommend you mount ANY transmitter on the centre console, or the glove box area (that includes running the aerial coax) anywhere near the glove box. Was advised by CARDIFF TOYOTA SENIOR TECH that the centre console, and glove box areas should be left free of RF devices and cabling.

But my missus knows the holes are there, thats my prob....LOL

I also found that fitting the remote head under the ashtray, and angling it up slightly was an ideal fitting position. I think the advantage of the unit being somewhere in the "middle" is that either the driver and passenger can easily use it

BTW .. put the main RT under the glovebox but had never heard of the potential problems it can cause.

installed a TX4400 but combined with a roof console
