Dashboard Pods

I have one installed on my Disco 2 for about 6mths now and it has been very good. I have no complaints . In my small opinoin it is a very good product. Mind you I was worried when I first saw it but no probs.

One thing however , use heaps of silastic around the metal strips that connect from the UHF to the unit. Stops any chance of things moving at a later date. I have a Uniden GPS 105 installed and the owner of the Dept of the interior (Mike I seem to recall , cut the slot for me at no charge. I've bounced the thing over some pretty terribe turrain and nothing has moved.

I'm about to do the mandatory Cape York trip (2 July and have been been looking forward to it for years) and I reckon that the only thing I would do if I were to install it all over again is that I would change the supplied metal microphone holder to one of those $ 2 plastic jobs from Whithworths. I have the plastic version in my boat (1/2 cabin cruiser) and it's way better- doesn't rust - doesn't rattle. Feel like a jerk for not having done it in the first place.

My local Disco mechanic used to work in a workshop alongside the guy who owns the Dept of the Interior and reckons that you could not find a nicer guy who actually knows is product. I found him extremely accomodating.

Go for it, at least it saves tring to find another place for your radio in the limited space of the Disco.

I have one in my GU Patrol. Had no probs since installing it back in April. Dont have much weight hanging off it yet. Just a Garmin eMap on a RAM mount bolted into the side. works a treat.

Love mine, wanna get one for the GU

Her's mine, it's $50 if you want it, got to better than $250 from DOI, the radio hole fits a GPS105 Uniden.
