Thread: S1 - where is your UHF mounted?

Mine is up in the Map holder on the drivers side.

It's a little GME UHF and the mic lead fits neatly in next to it when not in use.

Check out this link as it has mine in it as well as a few others.

Ive noticed above the rearview mirror - it looks like a document holder pouch (too skinny for a map book!) hidden above the sunvisors.



It looks like mounting holes are present, like as if they designed it for your radios.

But then the sunvisors would conflict!!!

Is this the purpose of the document holder up there or what other options might I have for mounting 2 radios cleanly?

mate now that ive learnt a little about uhf and hf why would you want an am radio ????

just wondered

cheers

The photos posted below show my installation. I went with installing it where the sunroof switch would be. I don't have a sunroof so, didn't matter. Tapped into the light power, so UHF can remain on with the key out.

Oops, how do you attach photos???? Asked for a URL???

That's where I've got mine too. It's handy there and out of the way. Also prying eyes don't tend to look up there when looking for stuff to nick.

on my D1 I put the UHF up where the sunroof switches would be, ran off interior light wiring with the aerial cable running up the left hand windscreen pillar, have done the same to my D2, makes a nice clean looking unit and the plastic panels are cheap enough to replace 2nd hand later if selling the car,

Ray,

You can email them to me and I'll upload them for you, (andy.hempsall@yahoo.co.uk) if you want?
