GME TX3420 into a D22

Hi,

I acquired a GME TX3420 UHF over the weekend, i now have to install it. I was curious as to how others may have installed there's if any one has one. Its got the main box then the remote head piece and then the hand piece.

Thinking of where to mount the small remote head piece?

Cheers, Pete

I'll watch this thread with interest, cause I'm about to do the same. There are bugger all places to install it.

My solution to this is to buy an Outback roof console, ($430.00), easy as pie to install and wack the uhf up there. Of course I have to buy the UHF and console first, but thats the plan,

Not sure if it was the same model or not but there was a thread 6 months ago showing the install of a remote head UHF in a D22. I think the put the unit under the seat and the remote head under the dash or something, try searching through the D22 section.

A tip for installing electrics. Get them high as possible! I.e under the dash. Cause I the Horrible should happen like drowning your Nav. At least you can still call for help.

Mine is installed under my stereo.

There are pics in a "show us you interior" thread.

As opposed to the thread I started "Show us you're inferior" which only had posts from me in it.

Dont remember that thread, did you post up a pic of your D40. lol.

Under the stereo is logical. However the 2010 D22 have a 6 stacker which takes up the whole area, I think you call it a double DIN?

I wanted to keep the pocket above my radio free for things like my wallet and sunnies.

I ended up putting the remote unit under the ash trays on the dash actually mounted to the gear stick shroud, can see it easily there and control it, no matter what gear im in, Plus i can change channel on the mic.

I put the main unit under the dash, up out of harms way.

Will post some pics up once i have a chance, gotta weld a tab to my bullbar yet to mount the antenna Just been too busy at work to get a moment to do it

Thats exactly what i am interested in doing. i'll be getting the same radio soon. look forward to seeing your photos.

Here are the photos been too busy to change there sizes.

Sorry about quality, taken on a fone that i am still yet to learn how to use.

mine is mounted to one of the screws that is just under the hazard light switch, it does cover some of the heater controls but i never use the fresh/recirc mode anyway, fresh sucks all the dust in from outside so if i want it ill open the window. one screw is enough to hold the remote head as it is very light, and the hand piece sits in the leather shift boot out of the way until i need it, as i didnt want to go drilling holes into any of the dash panels.

Mines nearly the same as this, except mine is above the ashtray.

That looks about the same size as mine, so i'll share how i did mine. I put it in the little pocket thing on the dash. A lil bit of double sided tape on the radio, One hole in the pocket for the cord. And mounted the unit above the lower glove box.

here is mine

Good spots for the head unit, I have the double din gps/dvd so I decided to got the GME TX3340 UHF because it doesn't have a head unit, everything is on the hand piece.

Up n Ova, where did you put the control box so you can still hear it.

Id say its got a external speaker like i did.
