I am considering purchasing a GME 3200
UHF radio after much research.My question is where can I mount it in a 100 series cruiser? Do I have to go to an overhead console as I didn't reallywant to mount it on the side of the existing console..Anyone got any ideas..
Thanks regards Greg G

G,DAY GREG . Not realy familiar with your vehical . I mounted my raido ( same as yours ) in the dash . Theres usualy a vacant hole filled with a peice of plastic that your radio will fit into very neatley .
Well thats where
mine went . You will have to dril a coupel of holes in the top part of the plastic to take the bolts , and a hole in the back for the antenna and power cables . Also , make sure you put a fuse close to the battey and not behind the raido . If you blow a fuse , its much easyer to change there than pull the thing out again just to replace it .

I recently bought a 1998 100 series standard. The previous owner had mounted a UHF in the space below the radio cassette. He had cut a hole in the bottom right hand rear corner of the floor of the space and had used self tappers to hold the face in place.
Not sure of the dimensions of the GME 3200 or what make he had mounted.
I'm planning to mount a UHF myself so would be interested in whatever solution you come up with.
The previous guy had also mounted something on the passenger side of the transmision tunnel but not sure how large it was.
Good luck!
