Thread: GME TX3100 install to D4 dash

Looks like a neat install.

Where did you pick up power from? I have had a look around the engine bay and under the dash and it doesn't look like it is simple to get through the firewall.

Next question is the antenna where is the antenna and how did you run the cable through the car to the antenna?

Any insight would be great before scratch my knuckles.

I brought a separate twin cable (with 30amp circuit breaker) from my aux battery through the gromet in the firewall beside the brake master cylinder. This cable terminated to a new 4 blade fuse box located above the accelerator pedal.
Easy access to this fuse box is obtained via the easily removed facia/panel that is immediately below the steering column (when you remove this panel you will see an obvious hole in the metal work into which to access the fuse box.

Coax cable ran back through the same grommet in the firewall, then between the firewall & top of the brake cylinder reservior, along the driverside edge of the fender (just below & under the rubber hood seal), along the top of the headlight, then through an opening/aperture where the headlight meets the radiator mount steel work. The coax is now in the space between the radiator and the grille, and at present is temporarily bundled-up with the antenna ground plane base & zip tied to a steel cross brace, waiting for an ARB winch bar to be installed.
I am in the process of making a temporary bracket that will extend out from the grille whilst I wait for the bar.
