Thread: placement for a I Com 440

Hi Fatcat,
I have the same IC440 as you. I mounted it inside the centre console too. I was a little nervous that it'd get too hot, but having stuck my hand in and felt the temp dozens of times, I haven't yet feared a problem.
The cradle is quick release so removing the base unit is easy enough as well if you don't wish to mount it inside the console.

Hi isuzutoo-eh,

Cheers for that, did mount on the side and if you did it your self were did you lead your wire to get to the positive wire

Thanks heaps

Mine is mounted on the front inside of the console, but the vehicle is a County which has a slightly different design of console-its larger at the front with space under the tray section. I drilled an inch diameter hole in the base of the console (plywood by memory) and routed both wires down by the passenger seat to the battery.
The socket for the handpiece is currently loose beside the driver's seat with the excess cable under the transmission tunnel carpet. I just dump the handpiece in the console tray till I work out where to put the mount.

Hi isuzutoo-eh,
So you have not run yours to the ignition, i used to have my stereo with a switch. So it could play without having to put the ignition on and burning the points on my old L300 van.

I mounted mine under the console box. I had to raise it up so there wasenough clearance. The cords go under the matting and to the fuse box. The plug for the hand set it to the right of the fuse box. The handset is mounted to the left of the instrument panel.
