Mine install sounds similar, radio on dash, even the power cable & coax goes through a hole under where the mat would be. RG58 to the amp on the back of the console, then mini-8 to the twig, which is affixed to an HGV mirror-mount bolted to my light bar. If I ever come to remove it, just put the mat back and all will be covered up. :grin:

Dump your stereo systems and fit a rig with DIN mount in the hole.

Intek m150 maybe be best for this as it has a forward facing speaker.
Disco_Dennis:
Is there a DIN unit that will do what the ranger does? I think not... DUMP MY STEREO!!! :shock: :shock: NEVER

okay - was only a half hearted suggestion valid was for those whom are unlicensed CB radio users with legal type approved *CB* radio installations without cheapy ZETAGI linears etc whom do not want to risk equipment confiscation if pulled at a VOSA mulit-agency road side check. If I was to suggest otherwise to legality it wouldn't be a Ranger 2950 :roll: , it would be something like a unrestricted Yaesu FT857 with it's remote head kit which fits very nicely on a DIN blank or a dozen other convenient locations, and just fits in you pocket on removal just like a face off stereo, does everything a Ranger 2950 does and a whole lot more including BBC Radio1.

Firstly, I am a licensed amateur. I Have been for over 15 years.
Ranger = £180 - Yaesu 857 = £500+ :shock: (and won't receive DAB) - Not worth it for use in a car I only paid 800 quid for! Zetagi linear there pecisely because it is cheap & only works on 10m-12m like the radio does.
Furthermore, I never suggested using any transceiver - modded, legal, licensed or unlicensed - only a way of mounting & installing equipment as an example.
