I have a CB radio in my Range rover and i want to to put it into the Discovery i have no troubles mounting the aerial as i have a bar to put that on and i know where to run the wiring, but once iv done that i don't know where i should mount the Radio its self.

All suggestions are welcomed!

Cheers, James.

I have the slim line GME UHF and made a custom panel which houses it, and the power window switches in the centre console (next to the handbrake)

G'day James,

In my Disco II, I bent up a piece of aluminium to use as an overhead mount - I used the original screw holes in the over head console to secure it like this: ( just need longer screws)

Only downside was the mic. jumping of and belting the missus on rough climbs..

Also can be hard to read the display up there.

On my current Disco II I have remote head style mounted on the centre console. Main unit is under the passenger seat.

Cheers,
Mark

I have my gme main unit siliconed to the inside of the lid under the s/wheel (fuse cover) with the remote head mounted under the cup holder tray and slightly to the right.

I was thinking of doing this as i already have an electric trailer brake unit set up there or, I was thinking i might put the unit on the drivers side of the console by screwing a couple of holes in the plastic.

Mine is in the exact same place also. No probs either.
I mounted the main unit to the inside of the panel below the steering wheel with heavy duty velcro and its still rock solid too.
