uhf radio mounts

Bob,
In my GU I've got the remote face on the centre console just forward of the gear stick with the box tucked just behind the console on top of the transmission tunnel just above the foot rest. Send me your email and I'll mail you a pic.

I've just picked up a s/h 3400, and am soon to fit it.
Another earlier posting from this site reckoned that the GME 3200 and 3400 were small enough to fit in the GU's centre armrest console, in the lhs, where the dummy switch plates are.
The radio is fitted on-edge, with the display facing towards the driver (or could be the other way around). Behind the black plate there is apparently enough room in the console for the whole 3200.
I would guess that the console would need to be removed first, and it looks like the black plastic strip with the dummy switch plates completely removed and a new escutcheon fitted around the radio.
From another radio install, I've fitted the speaker up under the dash to the left of the clutch pedal. Puts out plenty of noise from there.
If you don't need the bells and whistles of the 3400, then the 3200 would save you over $100++, and is still a great unit. (and Aussie-made). Prestige Comms seem to have some very good prices, shipped anywhere in Oz.
I'll post how it all goes.

Prestige Communications in Perth, you will have fun beating their prices, and service. Brilliant.

Bob,
I have the 3400 mounted in the void on the front side the console of my Patrol.
Yes you do have to remove the console to fit it, big deal 7 screws.
The main unit is in the void with the base plate bolted to the front inside wall of the of the console well, the speaker facing forward. The head unit is velcroed to the facia under the A/C controls (no screw holes) wiring goes back through the large blank next to power outlets/aerial switch through the transmission tunnel back to main unit, power is from cig lighter, I don't need that accessory and the radio gets turned of when vehicle power is off, my choice. Antennae lead goes through trans tunnel, through grommet on left side of fire wall to bullbar mount

bob, I got my TX3400 s/h on ebay, and she's a ripper. I've mounted the receiver up under the dash above the diver's feet and the remote head velcroes onto the side of the centre console with wiring routed under the edge of the console. The mic is next to the head, also velcroed on. Neither have come off yet. I've added an external speaker.

The remote head of the TX3400 makes it my pick.

I have the same car and just last week fitted a GME 3200.

If you have decided on the 3400 or bigger this won't help but for me, after looking at the extra features and cost, I decided I really don't need anything other than the 3200.

Anyway I had it mounted under the steering wheel above my left leg (if you know what I mean) up against the centre console. The unit is small enough not to interfere with anything and I wouldn't know it's there.

The hand piece just rests between the gear levers but you can put it anywhere you want of course.

Cheers
Andy
